Two ectomycorrhizal macrofungal Amanita species of the section Lepidella, A. strobiliformis and A. solitaria, were found to hyperaccumulate silver (Ag). All samples were collected from non-argentiferous areas with background Ag content in soils (0.07-1.01 mgkg(-1) Ag). The Ag contents of both Amanita species were mostly in the range of 200-700 mgkg(-1)D.W. with the highest Ag content of 1253 mg...

In addition, urolithiasis occurs more frequently in hot, arid areas than in temperate regions. Decreased fluid intake and consequent urine concentration are among the most important factors influencing stone formation. Certain medications...

A quantum theory of thermal reaction rates is presented which may be viewed as an extension of the recently developed "quantum instanton" (QI) model [W. H. Miller, Y. Zhao, M. Ceotto, and S. Yang, J. Chem. Phys. 119, 1329 (2003)]. It is based on using higher derivatives of the flux-flux autocorrelation function C(t) (as given by Miller, Schwartz, and Tromp) at t=0 to construct a short time appr...

Histiocytoses describe a diverse group of proliferative disorders involving dentritic cells and macrophages. They include a spectrum of diseases including a reactive inflammatory accumulation of cells, pathologic immune activation, or neoplastic clonal proliferation. Advanced molecular technologies are resulting in new breakthroughs in understanding the pathophysiology of histiocytic disorders ...
