UNLABELLED Tetraploidy modifies root anatomy which may lead to differentiated capacity to uptake and transport mineral elements. This work provides insights into physiological and molecular characters involved in boron (B) toxicity responses in diploid (2x) and tetraploid (4x) plants of Carrizo citrange (Citrus sinensis L. Osb. × Poncirus trifoliata L. Raf.), a widely used citrus rootstock. Wit...

A practical method for calculating the pKa's of selenols in aqueous solution has been developed by using density functional theory with the SMD solvation model and up to three explicit water molecules. The pKa's of 30 different organoselenols, 16 with known experimental pKa's, have been calculated by using three different functionals (ωB97XD, B3LYP, and M06-2X) and two basis sets (6-31+G(d,p) a...

Charge carriers in low-doped semiconductors may distort the atomic lattice around them and through this interaction form so-called small polarons. High carrier concentrations on the other hand can lead to short-range ordered polarons (large polarons) and even to a long-range charge and orbital order. These ordered systems should be insulating with a large electrical resistivity. However, recent...

The structure, bonding and reactivity of 2-adamantylidene and its heavier group-14 analogues, 2X (X10H14, X = C-Sn), have been studied at the M06/def2-TZVPP//BP86/def2-TZVPP level of theory. 2-Adamantylidene and its heavier analogues, 2X, have a singlet ground state, where the carbene and silylene bridges in 2C and 2Si are bent similarly to the foiled-type carbenes. The bending of the carbene a...

UNLABELLED Serum aminotransferase [such as aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)] is commonly used as an indicator of liver disease. The aim of the study was to determine the degree to which aminotransferase results are associated with increased mortality at the population level. All adult residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota, who had a health care encounter at M...

Bernstein-Stancu operators are one of the most powerful tool that can be used in approximation theory. In this manuscript, we propose a new construction which preserve constant and e?2x, x > 0. direction, properties newly defined have been examined sense different function spaces. addition to these, present Voronovskaya type theorem for operators. At end, provide two computational examples d...
