Two‐Dimensional Uranyl Borates: From Conventional to Extreme Synthetic Conditions

The continuum from extreme conditions to the intensive care unit.

Just by changing their lifestyle, humans are challenging the respiratory system to an extent never previously reached; by exposing it to extreme conditions. In an article in this issue of the European Respiratory Review, ADIR and BOVE [1] have deciphered the conditions that may promote lung injury when the respiratory system is exposed to low atmospheric pressure, high pressure surrounding the ...

Selectivity in ligand binding to uranyl compounds: A synthetic, structural, thermodynamic and computational study

Boric Acid and Borates

Boric acid and its chemical relatives are pesticides that are derived from the element boron. Boron rarely occurs alone and is typically found in combination with other elements; common combinations are boric acid or borates.1 Unlike many pesticides which are synthetic compounds,2 boric acid and related pesticides are naturally occurring compounds.1 Boron compounds are widely found in rivers, s...

TwoDimensional Electrophoresis of Membrane Proteins from Normal and Transformed Cell&

have been previously reported (27). We have found that many of the immunogenic viral and spontaneous transformants have a number of characteristic alterations in cell membrane com ponents as described by Strand and August (25). In contrast, a malignant spontaneous transformant does not have these changes and appears to be very similar to the normal cells. In addition, all of the transformants s...

X-ray radiation from matter in extreme conditions

We study transient atomic and plasma processes in the new parameter regime of hot dense matter, produced by an intense ultrashort laser pulse. Speci"cally, we study the e!ects of extremely high "elds on ion electronic structure. These high "elds are achieved in either of two ways: (1) by the "eld of unscreened ion charges in a plasma (&109 V/cm), which result in strongly coupled e!ects such as ...
