The Passage of Chaperonins to Extracellular Locations in <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> Requires a Functional Dot/Icm System by Peter Robertson, David S. Allan, Rafael A. Garduño

“…The translocating role of the Dot/Icm system was not specific for HtpB because GroEL, the chaperonin of <i>Escherichia coli</i>, was found at the cell surface and accumulated in the periplasm of Dot mutants when expressed in <i>L. pneumophila</i>. These findings establish that a functional Dot/Icm system is required for HtpB to reach extracellular locations, but the mechanism by which cytoplasmic HtpB reaches the periplasm remains partially unidentified.…”

Concepts of understanding the essence of the “abuse of rights” category by V. V. Lazariev

“…Exploring the issues of approaches put forward by researchers to understanding the essence of the category “abuse of rights”, it is possible to distinguish the following concepts: abuse of rights does not exist; abuse of rights is socially harmful behavior which, however, does not violate the law; moral principle, performance of lawful behaviour; exercise of rights contrary to their purpose; types of abuse: those that are not characterized by obvious unlawfulness, which is expressed in the socially harmful behaviour of an authorized person who relies on a subjective right belonging to him/her; a type of legal nihilism; a special type of offense; a form of exercising a right contrary to its purpose, goal, social function or interests of other subjects.…”

SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM OF OIL-POOL IN-SITU COMBUSTION FRONT PROPAGATION ON THE BASIS OF HEURISTIC HYPOTHESIS REGARDING TEMPERATURE AND CONCENTRATION PROFILES by K. V. Dobrego

“…Another hypothesis is the assumption that the maximum gradient of the concentration profile of the missing component is implemented with a fixed value of concentration that is expressed as y’’ ( y = y*) = 0. Simple algebraic and differential equations fordetermination of the temperature and concentration profiles as well as for the front propagation velocity are derived for two cases i.e. the lack of oxidizer and the fuel component fault. …”

Long-term consequences of adolescent exposure to the synthetic cannabinoid AB-FUBINACA in male and female mice by Cristina Izquierdo-Luengo, María Ponce-Renilla, Marc Ten-Blanco, María Andrea Arnanz, Rosa María Tolón, Inmaculada Pereda-Pérez, Fernando Berrendero

“…In this sense, the administration of this synthetic cannabinoid in female, but not male, mice induced psychotic-like symptoms which were associated with changes in dendritic arborization and density of mature dendritic spines in pyramidal neurons of the prefrontal cortex, as well as with an up-regulation of differentially expressed genes in this brain area. This study helps to clarify the potential late detrimental effects of this potent synthetic cannabinoid that may derive from its use during adolescence.…”
