Communal irrigation systems known as acequias that have sustained farming villages in the arid southwestern United States for centuries are struggling because…
A team of Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) investigators led by Wellington V. Cardoso, MD, PhD, has found the first direct evidence of a link between…
Visible and infrared imagery from NOAA's GOES-East or GOES-13 satellite from Feb. 10 at 1815 UTC/1:15 p.m. EST to Feb. 12 to 1845 UTC/1:45 p.m. EST were…
Muscle, bone and nerve (musculoskeletal) pain is more prevalent as people age, with up to 80% of people 65 years of age and older experiencing daily pain….
By screening a library of FDA-approved anticancer drugs that previously wouldn't have been considered as a treatment for a rare type of cancer, UPCI scientists…
“Sedation doesn't help, but it does add expense and risk,” says study leader Steven P. Cohen, M.D., a professor of anesthesiology and critical care medicine at…
These familial forms are rare, but very aggressive and typically affect individuals before the age of 60. The findings jointly obtained by Dr. Safak Caglayan…
Western populations live longer while enjoying good health. More and more people, for example young pensioners, have implants fitted to pursue their…
Mutations in the lysosomal enzyme ß-glucosidase 1 (GBA1) cause Gaucher’s disease, the most common lysosomal lipid storage disease in humans. When GBA1 is absent or impaired, glycosylceramide (GlcCer) accumulates within the macrophage lysosomes, leading to liver and spleen enlargement, bone lesions and in the most severe cases, impairment of central
nervous system functions.
Scientists of the Westfaelische-Wilhems University Muenster and Sensient developed dopants for Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED). The tri and bi-dental platinum (II) complexes with phosphite or dianionic NNC/NNN ligands are triplet emitters with excellent quantum efficiencies.
OLEDs consist of electro-luminescent substances, embedded in a polymer matrix. To emit exzitones, an electric current, triggered energy transfer is needed. Useful electroluminescent dopants are metal complexes like platinum complexes. The quantum efficiencies depend on the electronic behavior of the ligands used.
Therefore useful and efficient substances like P-Phos are required.
Members of the German research network BIOACID (Biological Impacts of Ocean Acidification) are developing a model that links ecosystem changes triggered by…
Electro-mobility is picking up speed – not only the driving range is increasing but also the acceptance by the population. Following the launch of the first…
Researchers looked at 3,500-year-long tree ring records from North East Tibet to estimate annual precipitation. They found that recent decades have likely been…
This applies particularly to the wonder material graphene. Now, an international team around researchers at the University of Vienna unveiled the…
These results were obtained by a research group lead by Professor Mikko Mönkkönen at the University Jyväskylä. The group studied a production forest landscape…
