Abstract We have simulated the sodium (Na) exosphere of Mercury to show how is affected by assumed surface binding energy (SBE) Na in sputtered component. constrained ion precipitation onto using distributions for cusp regions that are consistent with measurements MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging Fast Imaging Plasma Spectrometer instrument. sputtering SBEs 0.27, 2.6...

Seabather's eruption (SBE) is an intensely itchy, papule-erythematous dermatitis that occurs predominantly in regions of the body covered by bathing costumes, after exposure to marine water. The planulae larvae of Linuche unguiculata scyphomedusae (thimble jellyfish) are the etiologic agent of the dermatitis, which is frequent in waters of Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico and Florida. The authors repo...

in vitro neuronal networks display Synchronized Bursting Events (SBEs), with characteristic temporal width of 100-500 ms and frequency of once every few seconds. We analyze such data using preprocessing by SVD for dimensional reduction, after which we apply quantum clustering to sort out the SBEs into different groups. Each SBE is described within a spatiotemporal template, allowing us to disti...

This study aimed to examine the impact of fashion brand attachment on customer’s purchase intention and role social media usage engagement this relationship. The data were collected through surveys distributed randomly 404 users in Albania during April 2020. PLS-SEM was used analyze relationships between Fashion Brand Attachment (FBA), Social Media Usage (SMU), Engagement (SBE), Purchase Intent...

Sclerocarya birrea is a plant widely used as traditional medication for the treatment of diabetes in sub-Saharan regions. However, the mechanism of action is unknown and only hypoglycaemic effects of S. birrea extract (SBE) in diabetic rats have been reported to date. Here, we tested aqueous extracts of S. birrea on insulin-secreting INS-1E cells and isolated rat islets. Following 24 h of treat...

Dysregulated bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling in endothelial cells (ECs) and pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) are implicated in human genetic disorders. Here, we generated genome-wide maps of Smad1/5 binding sites in ECs and PASMCs. Smad1/5 preferentially bound to the region outside the promoter of known genes, and the binding was associated with target gene upregulatio...

Technologies that allow for high-throughput, economical, and accurate single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping are becoming crucial for modern genomic efforts. Here, we present a method for multiplexed single-base extension (SBE) genotyping that takes advantage of the unique separation modalities made possible via end-labeled free-solution electrophoresis (ELFSE). Three unique SBE oligon...

It is impossible to describe the stunning, captivating, and apparent tranquillity of a coral reef — it’s something you have to experience for yourself. Unfortunately, coral reefs are under threat from global warming, pollution, and other human activities. Coral bleaching, a key indicator of reef health, is becoming more frequent and the incidence of coral diseases may also be on the rise. But a...

Social entrepreneurs face challenging situations in trying to expand and grow businesses with little investment limited resources. Interactions networks between social entrepreneurs, investors, other stakeholders are indispensable promoting entrepreneurship. Together, they come form a cyclical “social business ecosystem” (SBE), which can finance their projects by paying “share transfer fees.” B...
