OBJECTIVE This study aims to identify reproductive factors associated with severe depressive symptoms (SDS) in postmenopausal women and to determine whether a past psychological disorder (PPD) and the timing of first-onset PPD in relation to menopause modify associations. METHODS Lifetime reproductive characteristics and PPD were obtained from 51,088 postmenopausal women of the E3N cohort stu...

Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis This procedure separates poplypeptides according to their size; as it is most commonly used proteins are resolved as a consequence of differences in their rates of migration. SDS/PAGE systems use buffers that contain a detergent, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), which denatures proteins. In a solution of SDS most multi-subunit proteins ar...

The increase in food production requires reduction of the damage caused by plant pathogens, minimizing environmental impact management practices. Soil-borne pathogens are among most relevant that affect soybean crop yield. Soybean sudden death syndrome (SDS), several distinct species Fusarium, produces significant yield losses leading soybean-producing countries North and South America. Current...

CsPbI3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have recently emerged as promising materials for optoelectronic devices because of their superior properties. However, the poor stability NCs induced by easy ligand desorption represents a key issue limiting practical applications. Herein, we report stable and highly luminescent black-phase passivated novel ligands sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Theoretical c...

Quercetin is a bioflavonoid compound with low water solubility in both foods and the gastrointestinal tract, which limits exploitation of its health-promoting properties. This study aims to formulate solid dispersions (SDs) quercetin hydrophilic polyethylene glycol PEG matrices, using melt-mixing method, improve dissolution antioxidant activity quercetin. Initially, total Gibbs free energy for ...
