Zinnia elegans, an annual flowering plant of the genus Zinnia, is one of the best known zinnias. Present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different growing media on the growth and flowering of Zinnia elegans. Seven different growth media including coconut compost, silt, soil loam, leaf manure, (leaf manure + silt; 2:1), (coconut compost + soil loam; 1:1) and (leaf...

Ratiometric Nanothermometers Organic nanoparticles based on persistent TTM radicals containing excimers and isolated molecules exhibit all characteristics of ratiometric nanothermometers showing excellent temperature sensitivity, reversibility, high colloidal stability. In-vivo experiments made with Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) indicate that they can monitor changes at the (nano)-micron ...

Two deep water new species of turriforms are described from south Brazilian coast. One them is the turrid Polystira tupan sp. nov., one largest genus (~80 mm), with proper sculpture, shallow anal notch, collected off Santa Catarina, 350 m. The other a cochlespirid that has been confused Cochlespira elegans, north Atlantic species; as it different shape, peripheric spines, etc., species, notomar...

This study proposes a novel design method of neuromorphic electronic circuit: circuit based on appropriately selected hybrid dynamics sequential logic with single clock, multiple clocks, and numerical integration. Based the proposed method, central nervous system model C. elegans is presented. It shown that presented can realize typical responses conventional elegans. Furthermore, implemented b...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and critical complication in the clinical setting. In rodents, AKI can be effectively prevented through caloric restriction (CR), which has also been shown to increase lifespan many species. Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), longevity studies revealed that marked CR-induced reduction of endocannabinoids may key mechanism. Thus, we hypothesized regulati...

Diets regulate animal development, reproduction, and lifespan. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. We previously showed that a chemically defined CeMM diet attenuates development promotes longevity of C. elegans, but whether it impacts other nematodes is unknown. Here, we studied effects on marine nematode Litoditis marina, which belongs to same family as elegans. furth...
