Characteristics of Soil Active Carbon Fractions and Carbon Pool Stability in Major Forest Types in Northern Daxing’an Mountains by LIU Beibei, CAI Tijiu

“…[Results] (1) From May to September, soil total organic carbon (TOC), highly active organic carbon (LOC-H) and moderately active organic carbon (LOC-M) of the four forest types showed a “single-peak” trend of change, and reached a peak in August, and the contents were higher in broad-leaved forests than in coniferous forests. (2) The utilisation rate of soil stability organic carbon (ER4) fluctuated between 72.33% and 85.11% from May to September, it was significantly higher than the utilisation rates of the other three types of active carbon, and dominated the soil carbon pool. (3) Soil carbon pool activity (CPA) fluctuated between 0.20 and 0.38, with P. davidiana forests>B. platyphylla forests>P. sylvestris var. mongolica forests >L. gmelinii forests; that of coniferous forests peaked in August, while that of broad-leaved forests were highest in May. (4) Soil active organic carbon content and carbon pool stability were subject to the combined effects of climatic factors and soil factors. …”

Enrichment of electrotrophic microorganisms from contrasting shallow-sea hydrothermal environments in bioelectrochemical reactors by Antoine Carissimo, Victoria Comes, Alenica Heussner, Anne-Hélène Prime, Roy E. Price, Gaël Erauso, Pierre-Pol Liebgott, Sven Kerzenmacher, Guillaume Pillot

“…In reactors reproducing the Prony Bay hydrothermal conditions, known facultative methylotrophs, such as Sphingomonas and Methylobacterium, were dominant and appeared to consume formate (provided as carbon source) but no electrons from the cathode.ConclusionThese results provide new insights into the distribution and diversity of electrotrophs in shallow-sea hydrothermal vents and allow the identification of potential novel biocatalysts for Microbial Electrosynthesis whereby electricity and carbon dioxide are converted into value-added products.…”

Extent, Distribution, and Causes of Soil Acidity under Subsistence Farming System and Lime Recommendation: The Case in Wolaita, Southern Ethiopia by Fanuel Laekemariam, Kibebew Kibret

“…Results revealed that the landscape is characterized by a gentle slope followed by strongly sloppy > flat > hilly topographies. Clay is the dominant soil textural class. A soil pH map, which is generated using geospatial analysis, demonstrates that 3.3, 78.0, and 18.7% of the total area were under strongly acidic, moderately acidic, and neutral soil reactions, respectively. …”

Echocardiography indicators in patients with atherosclerosis of peripheral arteries of the lower extremities dependent on T(–786)C polymorphism of the endothelial nitric oxide synt... by V.I. Tseluyko, O.D. Yarova

“…Results. 54 patients had signs of left ventricular myocardial hypertrophy (LVMH), while in the 2nd group the patients with C allele (p = 0.02) were dominant. Signs of remodeling of left ventricular myocardium (LVM) with an increase of thickness wall ratio (PTS) had 62 patients: in group I 41 (41 %) people (genotype T/T 41.5 %, C/T – 19.5 %, C/C – 39 %), in the second group – 21 (21 %) (genotypes 9.5 %, 42.9 % and 47.6 % respectively); among patients in the second group C allele was more likely to be present (p = 0.048). …”

Targets of influenza human T-cell response are mostly conserved in H5N1 by John Sidney, A-Reum Kim, Rory D. de Vries, Bjoern Peters, Philip S. Meade, Florian Krammer, Alba Grifoni, Alessandro Sette

“…We further conclude that a significant fraction of the T-cell epitopes is conserved at a level associated with cross-reactivity between avian and seasonal sequences, and we further experimentally demonstrate extensive cross-reactivity in the most dominant T-cell epitopes curated in the IEDB. Based on these observations, and the overall similarity of the neuraminidase (NA) N1 subtype encoded in both HPAI and seasonal H1N1 influenza virus as well as cross-reactive group 1 HA stalk-reactive antibodies, we expect that a degree of pre-existing immunity is present in the general human population that could blunt the severity of human H5N1 infections.IMPORTANCEInfluenza A viruses (IAVs) cause pandemics that can result in millions of deaths. …”
