A very common method for determining the occupancy of a rail track are the so-called track circuits. This method involves applying a low voltage to a pair of…

A large part of gene regulation in eukaryotes takes place at the level of RNA-molecules. A group of endogenous regulatory RNA-molecules, the so-called…

We and all other organisms must constantly grapple with bacteria. Whether for a necessary symbiosis or an infection, carbohydrate structures on cell surfaces…

PLA2 enzymes exist as secreted forms and cytosolic forms. The cytosolic or cPLA2 enzymes appear to play a key role in the pathway leading to the formation of…

The model is characterized by the following advantages:

“Outbreaks of the parasitic disease caused by Ichthyophthirius (Ich) can result in losses of 50-100 percent of fish,” Dehai Xu, Ph.D., said. “The disease is…

“A number of controlled clinical trials — these are carefully designed and conducted scientific studies done in humans — have concluded that cranberry juice…

Our unrivalled lipophilic metal salts are outstanding due to their high solubility in non-polar liquids. This offers a variety of totally new applications in…

Plants are an important source of pharmacologically active substances. The tropical

lianas of the families Dioncophyllaceae and Ancistrocladaceae are rich in…

“Our research could pave the way for turning electricity from the atmosphere into an alternative energy source for the future,” said study leader Fernando…

The powder shows bright promise for a number of other uses, they said. It may, for instance, be a greener, more energy-efficient way of jump-starting the…

The invention relates to a new process for the continuous production of glycerol-tertiary-butyl-ether (GTBE) by

etherification of glycerol and isobutene.

If drivers are yakking on cell phones and don’t hear spoken instructions to turn left or right from a passenger or navigation system, they still can get…

Frankfurt scientists have developed a novel orthogonal spin label for structural and functional analysis of proteins with electron paramagnetic resonance…

But if that tenet is true, how do you explain all the well-adapted, complex organisms—from orchids to bower birds to humans—in this world? This “cost of…

The researchers say they don’t want their results to encourage dangerous and distracted driving by cell phone users. Instead, they hope the study will point to…

Sigma receptors have been in the focus of drug discovery
