Interspecific differences in the response of autotrophic microorganisms to atrazine and S-metolachlor exposure by Laura Malbezin, Nicolas Mazzella, Sébastien Boutry, Isabelle Lavoie, Soizic Morin

“…In general, the green algae was most strongly affected by atrazine and S-metolachlor. In particular, atrazine led to a total inhibition of photosynthesis and a sharp decrease in triacylglycerols (TAGs), while S-metolachlor caused a partial decrease in photosynthesis in the green algae and a sharp increase in reserve lipids in the diatom when the herbicide was in mixture. …”

Hemorrhagic Shock Induces a Rapid Transcriptomic Shift of the Immune Balance in Leukocytes after Experimental Multiple Injury by Lisa Debler, Annette Palmer, Sonja Braumüller, Bettina Klohs, Tom Eirik Mollnes, Karlheinz Holzmann, Markus Huber-Lang, Rebecca Halbgebauer

“…Enrichment analysis was conducted on selected genes strongly modulated by the HS. After additional HS in PT mice, the gene expression of pathways related to the innate immunity, such as IL-6 production, neutrophil chemotaxis, cell adhesion, and toll-like receptor signaling was upregulated, whereas pathways of the adaptive immune system, such as B- and T-cell activation as well as the MHC class II protein complex, were downregulated. …”

Experimental Approach to Active Mounts Using Electromagnetic Actuator and Rubber with Consideration of Shock Resistance for Naval Shipboard Equipment by Yun-ho Shin, Seok-jun Moon, Woo-jin Jung, Soo-ryong Bae

“…There is demand for stringent vibration isolation within machine installations in order to achieve maximum performance or to satisfy otherwise extreme criteria, particularly, when there is a strong source of vibration such as a motor pump. It is frequently necessary to prevent the transmission of these vibrations to other parts of the system for passenger comfort in vehicles, ships, trains, etc., or for the protection of delicate electronic equipment. …”
