Cocatalyst decoration has been recognized as an effective strategy in photocatalysis, yet the critical role of sing-atomic state on CO2 photocatalytic reduction, distinguished from oxide and elemental states, remains a mystery hitherto. Herein, single-atom Pd (Pd-SA), oxides (PdOx), nanoparticles (Pd-NP), were homogeneously anchored g-C3N4 (CN) to investigate their reduction behaviors under vis...

Cryptococcus neoformans (Cn) is a pathogenic yeast and the cause of cryptococcal meningitis. Prevalence of disease between males and females is skewed, with males having an increased incidence of disease. Based on the reported gender susceptibility differences to Cn in the literature, we used clinical isolates from Botswanan HIV-infected patients to test the hypothesis that different gender env...

BACKGROUND Net atrioventricular compliance (Cn) has been reported to be an important determinant of pulmonary hypertension in mitral stenosis (MS). We hypothesized that it may be useful in assessing prognosis because Cn reflects hemodynamic consequences of MS. To date, limited data with an assumed Cn cutoff have indicated the need for larger prospective studies. This prospective study was desig...

A moderately stable hexacoordinated sulfur(VI) compound with four different kinds of ligands, CF3SF2(CN)2C1, results when CF3SF4CI is reacted with (CH3)3SiCN. The latter compound also gives F2S(CN)2 and (CF3)2S(CN)2 with SF4 and (CF3)2SF2, respectively. These tetracoordinated suifur(IV) compounds decompose rapidly at 25 °C but are stable at lower temperatures. With OSCl2 and SC12, the white sol...

Calcineurin (CN), a calcium- and calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase, plays a significant role in the central nervous system. Previously, we reported that forebrain-specific CN knockout mice (CN mutant mice) have impaired working memory. To further analyze the behavioral effects of CN deficiency, we subjected CN mutant mice to a comprehensive behavioral test battery. Mutant mice showed inc...

Let n > m 2:: 4 be positive integers. The edge framing number efr( Cm, Cn) of Cm and Cn is defined as the minimum size of a graph every edge of which belongs to an induced Cm and an induced Cn. We show that efr(Cm,Cn) = n+4 ifn = 2m-4 and m 2:: 5, efr(Cm,Cn) = n+5 if n = 2m-6 and m ~ 7 and efr(Cm1 Cn) = n+6 if n = 2m-8 (m ~ 10) or m = n -1 (where n ~ 5 and n ¢ {6,S}) or m = n 2 (n = 6 or n 2:: ...
