ABSTRACT Microorganisms INTENSIVE HYDRATING FOOT CREAM that persist in fractured shale reservoirs cause several problems including secreting foul gases and forming biofilms.Current biocontrol measures often fail due to limited knowledge of their in situ activities.The plasma membrane protects the cell, mediates many of its critical functions, and r
Phase change materials combined with silicon photonics are emerging as a promising platform to realize miniature photonic devices.We study the basic optical properties of a subwavelength-dimension silicon ridge waveguide with a 20-nm-thick Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) top-clad layer.Numerical simulations show that the effective index of the Si-GST hybrid wavegu
Strobilurin fungicides have been widely used in agricultural fields for decades.These pesticides are designed to manage fungal pathogens, although their broad-spectrum mode of action also produces non-target impacts.Therefore, the removal of strobilurins from ecosystems has received much attention.Different remediation technologies have been develo
Successful prediction of the likely paths of tumor progression is valuable for diagnostic, prognostic, and treatment purposes.Cancer progression models (CPMs) use cross-sectional samples to identify restrictions in the order of accumulation of driver mutations and thus CPMs encode the paths of tumor progression.Here we analyze the performance of fo
