The survival and fitness of photosynthetic organisms is critically dependent on the flexible response of the thylakoid membrane, harboring the photosynthetic machinery, and environmental changes. The first part of this ...

Detection of the actinides and cesium in the environment is important for a variety of applications ranging from environmental remediation to safeguards and nuclear forensics. The utilization of multiple different elemental ...

Under sufficient compression molecules behave in exotic ways leading to interesting solid state transformations such as disorder-order transitions, polymerization/ionization, or path dependent metastable phases. These ...

The efficient separation of used nuclear fuel into its components remains a significant challenge in the operation of a closed nuclear fuel cycle. Many solvent extraction processes have been either successfully applied or ...

Conventional Ion mobility mass spectrometry (IMMS) provides rapid separation and detection of complex mixtures. It is merging as a powerful analytical platform for the field of metabolomics but is limited in throughput. ...

Rapid pre-concentration of trace lanthanide cations in aqueous solution has been achieved using mercury film electrodes. Although effective, this technique has shown minimal sample carryover when used to pre-concentrate ...

Although the majority of C4 plants have an anatomy that separates carboxylation and decarboxylation activities between two cell types (Kranz anatomy), some terrestrial plants Bienertia cycloptera, B. sinuspersici and Suaeda ...

Sexual signals are often plastic, and should therefore be adjusted to match an individual's phenotype and optimize lifetime fitness. However, little is known of physiological mechanisms permitting such phenotypic integration, ...

Phloem proteins have been widely regarded as a wound response mechanism. All imagery showing apparent occlusions of this protein at a sieve plate have been dismissed as preparation artifact and ignored. Unfortunately, these ...
