Metabolism and compartmentalization are two of life's most central elements. Constructing synthetic assemblies based on prebiotically relevant molecules that combine these elements can provide insight into the requirements for formation life-like protocells from abiotic building blocks. In this work, we show a wide variety small anionic metabolites form complex coacervate with oligoarginine (R1...

In recent years, global climate change causes more extreme precipitation events in Lancang-Mekong River Basin (Lancang-Mekong Basin). It leads to the increase of rainstorm and flood risk, which poses a threat control safety Basin. Based on data four models CMIP6, this paper selected six indexes, including PRCPTOT R10, study characteristics indexes during 1980–2020 predicted development trend 20...

One hundred eighty barrows were evaluated to determine the effects of ractopamine hydrochloride (RAC) on lean carcass yields and pork quality. The pens were blocked by weight (six pens per block) with starting block weights of 69.0, 70.7, 73.8, 76.6, 78.4, and 84.3 kg. Pens within a block were assigned randomly to one of three RAC treatments so each treatment in a block was replicated twice. Tr...

The attachment of gonococci to mucosal surfaces is of primary importance in their interactions with the genito-urinary tract of the human host. This process may be, in part, mediated by pili, which are proteinaceous appendages emanating from the bacterial cell surface. Observations by Kellogg et al. (1) suggested that certain colonial morphological phenotypes are associated with virulence. Subs...

Introduction: Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) and chemoembolization (TACE) are established treatment methods for unresectable liver tumor. TRanscatheter Intraarterial Perfusion (TRIP)-MRI is an intra-procedural technique to monitor liver tumor perfusion changes during TAE [1] and TACE [2]. However, previous developed TRIP-MRI approaches either used semi-quantitative perfusion analyses...

Twenty-four multiparous Holstein-Friesian dairy cows were used in a replicated 3×3 Latin square changeover design experiment to test the effects of changing from corn (Zea mays) silage to red clover (Trifolium pratense) silage in graded proportions on feed intakes, milk production, and whole-body N and P partitioning. Three dietary treatments with ad libitum access to 1 of 3 forage mixtures plu...

Analysis of spatial and temporal changes long-term precipitation extreme distribution at a local scale is very important for the prevention mitigation water-related disasters. In present study, we have analyzed trend 116 years (1901–2016) index over Kosi River Basin (KRB), which one frequent flooding rivers India, using 0.25° × resolution gridded datasets obtained from Indian Meteorological Dep...

Introduction: Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI can be used to quantitatively measure pharmacokinetic parameters that indicate tumor angiogenesis and perfusion. The ability of quantitative DCE-MRI to generate physiological parameter maps has important implications in staging tumors and in evaluating the cancer therapeutic response. The purpose of this study was to develop an innovative hybrid...
