Biodiversity experiments have shown that species loss reduces ecosystem functioning in grassland. To test whether this result can be extrapolated to forests, the main contributors to …
Subduction zones are home to the most seismically active faults on the planet. The shallow megathrust interfaces of subduction zones host Earth’s largest earthquakes and are likely the …
Photocatalysis based on optically active, “plasmonic” metal nanoparticles has emerged as a promising approach to facilitate light-driven chemical conversions under far milder …
The antiproliferative effect of 1-β-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (araC) on RPMI 6410 cells in culture was potentiated in the presence of 3-deazauridine (DU). When the culture medium …
Influenza epidemics vary in intensity from year to year, driven by climatic conditions and by viral antigenic evolution. However, important spatial variation remains unexplained. Here we …
INTRODUCTION Appropriate Hedgehog (HH) signaling is important for human health; excessive HH signaling leads to various cancers, whereas insufficient HH signaling results in …
Electron-boson coupling plays a key role in superconductivity for many systems. However, in copper-based high–critical temperature (T c ) superconductors, its relation to …
X-ray structure analysis shows that the monomer of trimeric photosystem I (PS I) of Synechococcus sp. consists of a catalytic domain and a smaller domain that connects the monomers. …
VIRTUAL geomagnetic poles (VGPs) recorded in sediments during reversals of the Earth's magnetic field show an apparent preference for two antipodal sectors of longitude 1–3 , not …
Schooling rewards people with labor market returns and nonpecuniary benefits in other realms of life. However, there is no experimental evidence showing that education interventions …
