It is well known that biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) guarantee the well-being of human society. Most studies have focused on relationship between function, less about individual combined effects above- below-ground under grazing disturbance. The aim our study was to investigate plant soil microbial (bacterial fungal) diversity disturbance by using multiple methods assess mu...

Large scale biomimetic single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) coatings with significant antimicrobial activity, high Young's Modulus, and controlled morphology were fabricated using layer-by-layer assembly. Thickness was controlled within 1.6 nm and SWNT orientation was controlled using a directed air stream. This unique blend of multifunctionality and vertical and lateral control of a bottom-up ...

Agroecosystems are facing new challenges in the context of a growing and increasingly interconnected human population, paradigm shift is needed to successfully address many complex questions that these will generate. The transition providing multiple services within an agroecosystem starting point for heightened multifunctionality, however, there still hesitation among stakeholders about moving...

Objective: To infer the role of multifunctionality in milpa systems Mixteca Alta region Oaxaca, Mexico. Design/Methodology/Approach: The methodological framework Multifunctionality Index Agricultural Production Systems (IMSPA) was used, applying semi-structured interviews to producers. Results: level each evaluated determined and Milpa Intercropped with Fruit Trees (MIAF) showed greatest potent...

the degree of complexity attendant in university administration is hardly to be encountered in any other organization with peculiarities which distinguish it from military, paramilitary and ministry. the vice chancellor in university is primarily concerned with how to manage resources allocated to them which requires constant teamwork and communication; however the situation is different in mos...

An early step in the intracellular processing of B12 involves CblC, which exhibits dual reactivity, catalyzing the reductive decyanation of cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) and the dealkylation of alkylcobalamins (e.g. methylcobalamin; MeCbl). Insights into how the CblC scaffold supports this chemical dichotomy have been unavailable despite it being the most common locus of patient mutations associ...

Developmental control mechanisms often use multimeric complexes containing transcription factors, coregulators, and additional non-DNA binding components. It is challenging to ascertain how such components contribute to complex function at endogenous loci. We analyzed the function of components of a complex containing master regulators of hematopoiesis (GATA-1 and Scl/TAL1) and the non-DNA bind...
