Biogenic silica (BSi) is used as a proxy by soil scientists to identify biological effects on the Si cycle and by palaeoecologists to study environmental changes.Alkaline extractions are typically used to measure BSi in both terrestrial and aquatic environments.The dissolution properties of volcanic glass in tephra deposits and their nanocrystallin
Aromas have a powerful influence in our everyday life and are known to exhibit an array of pharmacological properties, including anxiolytic, anti-stress, relaxing, and sedative effects.Numerous animal and human studies support the use of aromas and their constituents to reduce anxiety-related symptoms and/or behaviours.Although the exact mechanism
Nowadays, different types of dispatchable and non-dispatchable distributed energy resource (DER) units, combined heat and power (CHP) plants as well as heat only units are integrated into a micro-grid (MG) platform.These facilities can help MG operators to satisfy the required electricity and heat demands of controllable and non-controllable loads
In this work, we describe a single piggyBac transposon system containing both a tet-activator and a doxycycline-inducible expression cassette.We demonstrate that a gene product can be conditionally expressed from the integrated transposon and a second gene can be simultaneously targeted by a short hairpin RNA contained within the transposon, both i
