A homologous series of alkylthio- and alkoxy-based asymmetric calamitic liquid crystal (LC) molecules was developed. The effects alkylthio groups on the phase transition properties unexpected intercalated LC structures were studied.

Ticks are obligate haematophagous ectoparasites of wild and domestic animals as well as humans, considered to be second worldwide to mosquitoes as vectors of human diseases. Tick-borne diseases are responsible worldwide for great economic losses in terms of mortality and morbidity of livestock animals. This review concerns to the different tick and tick-parasites control methods having a major ...

Homologous proteins are often compared by pairwise sequence alignment, and structure superposition if the atomic coordinates available. Unification of data is an important task in structural biology. Here, we present Sequence Similarity 3D (SS3D) method integrating information. SS3D a distance substitution matrix-based for straightforward visualization regions similarity difference between homo...

EXCELLENT results with renal transplantation between identical twins by Murray, Merrill and Harrison (1958) proved that a transplanted kidney can maintain permanent normal function. In 1959 successful transplantations between nonidentical twins by Merrill and by Hamburger and their respective teams with good, long-term results opened a new era in the field of human kidney transplantation and we...
