ABSTRACT Parental effects can prepare offspring for different environments and facilitate survival across generations. We exposed parental populations of the estuarine anemone, Nematostella vectensis, from Massachusetts to elevated temperatures quantified larval mortality a temperature gradient. found that exposure resulted in consistent increase thermal tolerance, as measured by at which 50% l...

background: n-acyl homoserine lactone (ahl) is found to be the main component of quorum sensing (qs) in gram-negative bacteria and plays an important role in biofilm formation. little information is available regarding the role of ahl in biofilm formation in escherichia coli (e. coli). the purpose of this investigation was to biochemically detect and characterize ahl activity in biofilm-forming...

Jenny Holzer’s art revolves around outspoken texts that inhabit posters and signs, namelessly disseminated through the city. The ungendered authority voice in her first written pieces, Truisms (1977-1987) Inflammatory Essays (1978-1982), allowed to avoid any associations with femininity as traditionally understood, fuelling passers-by's critical reflection. Later career, parallel efforts establ...

This study focuses on the application of nanostructured Mg-Al layered double hydroxide as a promising adsorbent in desulfurization of dibenzothiophene, an aromatic sulfur bearing compound from gasoil model. The Mg-Al LDH was synthesized by a co-precipitation method and characterized by FT-IR, XRD, EDX and SEM. The XRD and FT-IR approved the layered structure and crystalline form of the adsorben...
