Proteomic analysis of Trichoderma harzianum secretome and their role in the biosynthesis of zinc/iron oxide nanoparticles by Micaela B. Gallo, Araceli N. Bader, Andrés Torres-Nicolini, Vera A. Alvarez, Verónica F. Consolo

“…FTIR revealed organic compounds in nanoparticles acting as probably capping agents. This research is the first report in which a proteomic analysis identifies multiple enzymes involved in the biogenic process of NP biosynthesis from T. harzianum, and its role is clearly demonstrated by the formation of zincite and magnetite nanoparticles.…”

Effects of Climate Change on Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases in Europe by J. S. Gray, H. Dautel, A. Estrada-Peña, O. Kahl, E. Lindgren

“…Increased winter activity of  I. ricinus is probably due to warmer winters and a retrospective study suggests that hotter summers will change the dynamics and pattern of seasonal activity, resulting in the bulk of the tick population becoming active in the latter part of the year. …”

Intensive pharmacovigilance of Heberprot-P® in patients with diabetic foot ulcer by Annavely González Ocaña, Ana María Ramos Cedeño, Yeny Dueñas Pérez, Francisco Carlos Valladares Más, Yahima Arrechea Betancourt

“…There were 210 adverse events, which were most frequently manifested by burning and pain at the injection site, tremor and chills, especially of mild intensity (61.4%) and with a probable causal relationship (76.6%).<strong><br />Conclusions</strong>: Despite being a safe drug, more pharmacovigilance studies related to Heberprot-P® should be carried out, since all marketed drugs require continuous monitoring.…”

Crystal growth, structural phase transitions and optical gap evolution of FAPb(Br1-x Cl x )3 hybrid perovskites (FA: formamidinium ion, CH(NH2)2 +) by Carlos A. López, Oscar Fabelo, Carmen Abia, María T. Fernández-Diaz, José A. Alonso

“…FAPbBr3 and FAPbCl3 experience successive phase transitions upon cooling, lowering the symmetry from cubic to orthorhombic phases; however, these transitions are not observed for the mixed halide phases, probably due to compositional disorder. The band-gap engineering brought about by the chemical doping of FAPb (Br1-x Cl x )3 perovskites (x = 0.0, 0.33, 0.5, 0.66 and 1.0) can be controllably tuned: the gap progressively increases with the concentration of Cl− ions from 2.17 to 2.91 eV at room temperature, presenting a nonlinear behavior. …”

The Centrifugal Differential Mobility Analyser – concept and initial validation of a new device for measuring 2D property distributions by T. N. Rüther, D. B. Rasche, D. B. Rasche, H.-J. Schmid

“…An evaluation method to determine the transfer probabilities is developed and used in this work to compare the measurement results with the theory for the pure rotational behaviour (like the Aerodynamic Aerosol Classifier) and the pure electrical behaviour (like the Dynamic Mobility Analyser). …”

Ossification of the Interosseous Membrane of the Leg in a Football Player: Case Report and Review of the Literature by Roberto Postacchini, Stefano Carbone, Marco Mastantuono, Carlo Della Rocca, Franco Postacchini

Impact of Time Delay in Perceptual Decision-Making: Neuronal Population Modeling Approach by Urszula Foryś, Natalia Z. Bielczyk, Katarzyna Piskała, Martyna Płomecka, Jan Poleszczuk

“…We then apply psychometric function to translate model-predicted ring rates into probabilities that a decision is being made. Using numerical simulations, we demonstrate that for small synaptic delays the decision-making process depends directly on the strength of supplied stimulus and the system correctly identifies to which population the stimulus was applied. …”
