Biological dispersal shapes species' distribution and affects their coexistence. The spread of organisms governs the dynamics of invasive species, the spread of pathogens, and the shifts in species ranges due to climate or environmental change. Despite its relevance for fundamental ecological processes, however, replicated experimentation on biological dispersal is lacking, and current assessme...

The pharmacological properties of the 5-hydroxytryptamine (HT)(1A) receptor agonist (R)-3,4-dihydro-N-isopropyl-3-(N-isopropyl-N-propylamino)-2H-1-benzopyran-5-carboxamide (NAE-086) were examined with in vitro and in vivo techniques. Receptor binding studies demonstrated that NAE-086 was a high-affinity and selective 5-HT(1A) receptor ligand with a K(i) value of 4.5 nM in membranes from rat hip...

The reactivity of lignin model compounds under Mannich conditions with piperidine and formaldehyde was studied. The piperidinomethyl group was confirmed to be introduced quantitatively at sterically unhindered positions ortho to a phenolic hydroxyl when the substrate was allowed to react under ambient conditions. The sequential application of the Mannich reaction followed by quantitative P NMR ...

Methods for seeding high-viability (>85%) three-dimensional (3D) alginate-chondrocyte hydrogel scaffolds are presented that employ photocrosslinking of methacrylate-modified alginate with the photoinitiator VA-086. Comparison with results from several other photoinitiators, including Irgacure 2959, highlights the role of solvent, ultraviolet exposure, and photoinitiator cytotoxicity on process ...

Polystyrene-silica core-shell composite particles are prepared by one-step emulsion polymerization with a nonionic initiator VA-086, solely stabilized by silica nanoparticles. The silica nanoparticles are successfully incorporated as the shell, likely due to the fact that the nanoparticles are thermodynamically favorable to adsorb and remain at the liquid-liquid interfaces during the emulsion p...

Two high galactic latitude B-type stars, PG 1323−086 and PG 1704+222, are analysed from low and medium resolution optical spectra and Strömgren photometry. A differential abundance analysis for He, C, N, O, Mg, Al, and Si reveals that the He abundance is close to solar while metal underabundances relative to the solar value of typically 1.3 and 1.2 dex for PG 1323−086 and PG 1704+222, respectiv...
