Terrestrial plant and soil respiration, or ecosystem respiration (Reco ), represents a major CO2 flux in the global carbon cycle. However, there is disagreement in how Reco will respond to future global changes, such as elevated atmosphere CO2 and warming. To address this, we synthesized six years (2007-2012) of Reco data from the Prairie Heating And CO2 Enrichment (PHACE) experiment. We applie...

In the title compound, [Co(C57H52N6O6)], the central CoII atom is coordinated by four pyrrole N atoms of the porphyrin core and one O atom of the crown ether. The complex has a distorted porphyrin core, with mean absolute core-atom displacements of 0.14 (10) (Ca), 0.20 (10) (Cb), 0.24 (4) (Cm) and 0.18 (10) Å (Cav), respectively. The axial Co-O bond length is 2.3380 (15) and the average Co-Np b...

introduction: epulis fissuratum is often formed as a result of a poor fitting denture. the conventional treatment for this fibrous hyperplastic tissue is to excise it using a scalpel and to close the wound by a continuous or an interrupted suture. the increased utilization of lasers in dentistry also includes the utilization of carbon dioxide (co2) lasers in place of surgical scalpels in soft t...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 6w power carbon dioxide laser (co2) on the biologic compatibility of the sandblasting with large grit and acid etching (sla) titanium discs through studying of the sarcoma osteogenic (saos-2) human osteoblast-like cells viability. methods: sterilized titanium discs were used together with saos-2 human osteoblast-like cells...
