Metals with bcc structure are able to dissolve large amounts of interstitial element atoms in the form of oxygen.These atoms diffuse Silicone Straws through the lattice by jumping into octahedral sites with equivalent symmetry, causing strong alterations in the anelastic behavior.This paper reports on a study of Snoek relaxation in Nb-Ti alloys wit
Prediction of high fecal propionate-to-butyrate ratios using 16S rRNA-based detection of bacterial groups with liquid array diagnostics
Butyrate and propionate represent two of three main short-chain fatty acids produced by the intestinal microbiota.In healthy populations, their levels are reportedly equimolar, whereas a deviation in their ratio has been observed in various diseased cohorts.Monitoring such a ratio represents a valuable metric; however, it remains a challenge to ado
Recognition of double strand breaks by a mutator protein (MU2) in Drosophila melanogaster.
Telomere capture, a rare event that stabilizes chromosome breaks, is associated with certain genetic abnormalities in humans.Studies pertaining to the generation, maintenance, and biological effects of telomere formation are limited in metazoans.A mutation, mu2(a), in Drosophila melanogaster decreases the rate of repair of double strand DNA breaks
Glutamine and its use in selected oncology settings
This review summarises the latest evidence for the use of glutamine (GLN) in oncology Collections taking cognisance of current systematic reviews and available guidelines.Various studies in adults suggest that GLN supplementation suppresses tumour growth, by restoring the function of natural killer cells; improves protein metabolism; and, possibly
