We identified a four-component sex pheromone blend that is as attractive or more attractive to male navel orangeworm moths, Amyelois transitella (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), than either unmated females or hexane extracts of pheromone glands of females. The blend consisted of (11Z,13Z)-hexadecadienal; (11Z,13Z)-hexadecadien-1-ol; (11Z,13E)-hexadecadien-1-ol; and a hydrocarbon, (3Z,6Z,9Z,12...

Since the inception of the use of synchrotron radiation in the structural characterisation of crystalline materials by single-crystal diffraction in the late 20th century, the field has undergone an explosion of technological developments. These cover all aspects of the experiments performed, from the construction of the storage rings and insertion devices, to the end user functionalities in th...

Abstract Tristan10M is a 10-million-pixel large area detector based on the Timepix3 ASIC. The ASIC can work in event driven mode addition to standard frame mode. Thanks these capabilities of ASIC, Tristan ideal for time-resolved experiments. 10M organized 2 × 5 module matrix, each being made up sixteen chips bump-bonded monolithic pixelated silicon sensor. In this contribution, we will report s...

Abstract Introduction Few small studies evaluated electrocardiographic (ECG) predictors of ventricular fibrillation (VF) before reperfusion during a first acute myocardial infarction (AMI). None accounted for the time between symptom onset and ECG. Objectives To evaluate ECG primary VF in PREDESTINATION (PRimary vEntricular suDden dEath firST myocardIal iNfArcTION) population. Patients methods:...

The position of singular lines for orthorhombic (ORT) media with fixed diagonal elements the elasticity matrix cij, i=1…6 is studied under condition that c11, c22, c33>c66>c44>c55. In this case, off-diagonal coefficients c12, c13, c23 are chosen so some values d12=c12+c66, d13=c13+c55, d23=c23+c44 zero. For medium, where only one d12, d13, d23 zero, contains points in planes symmetry. ...

CYP24A1 is a mitochondrial cytochrome P450 (CYP) that catabolizes 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1α,25-(OH)(2)D(3)) to different products: calcitroic acid or 1α,25-(OH)(2)D(3)-26,23-lactone via multistep pathways commencing with C24 and C23 hydroxylation, respectively. Despite the ability of CYP24A1 to catabolize a wide range of 25-hydroxylated analogs including 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3), the enzyme...
