Interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1), human X-box binding protein-1 (hXBP-1), nuclear factor kappa B p65 (NFκB p65) and nucleophosmin (NPM) have been implicated in a signaling network of endocrine responsiveness. Expression of these proteins was measured by immunohistochemistry in tissue microarrays of 54 breast tumors. Correlations between each protein and established prognostic markers were...

Iron phosphides belong to a fascinating class of low-cost materials, exhibiting different properties depending on their phase (Fe3P, Fe2P, FeP, FeP2 and FeP4), and thus targeting a wide scope of applications (ferromagnetism, magnetoresistance, magneto-calorific effects, catalysis, and batteries). However, the synthesis of sizeand stoichiometry-controlled iron phosphide nanoparticles (NPs) still...

The development of human pluripotent stem cells has opened up the possibility to analyse the function of human cells and tissues in animal hosts, thus generating chimeras. Although such lines of research have great potential for both basic and translational science, they also raise unique ethical issues that must be considered. Introduction A major goal in life science research is to understand...

Layered Li4NiTeO6 was shown to reversibly release/uptake B2 lithium ions per formula unit with fair capacity retention upon long cycling. The Li electrochemical reactivity mechanism differs from that of Li2MO3 and is rooted in the Ni/Ni redox couple, that takes place at a higher potential than conventional LiNi1 xMnxO2 compounds.We explain this in terms of inductive effect due to Te ions (or th...

The circulation of water through the Earth system is of critical importance to life on Earth. The hydrological cycle is also intimately linked to the energy cycle and to biogeochemical processes including the carbon cycle. Simulating the various processes that interact to form the hydrological cycle is a daunting task for climate models. In particular, over land, interactions between precipitat...

THE DIHEDRAL ANGLE BETWEEN THE PLANES OF TWO AROMATIC RINGS IN THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 3-benzoyl-5-chloro-pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione], C(11)H(7)ClN(2)O(3), is 86.79 (6)°. Centrosymmetric dimers formed by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are linked through C-H⋯O inter-actions, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (10).

Alice J. Hovorka Clark University, Worcester MA, USA, ✉ [email protected] The incorporation of gender considerations into urban agriculture research is increasing, and indeed, there have been advances over the last decade in our understanding of both men’s and women’s experiences with farming in cities around the world. There is a move away from the socalled “urban farmer”, an undifferentiate...
