• Group of Bradford Co, Pa. residents concerned about health effects of hydrofracking

  Residents living in areas near natural gas operations, also known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, are concerned their illnesses may be a result of nearby drilling operations. Twenty-two percent of the participants in a small pilot study surmise that hydrofracking may be the cause of such healt more

• Core facilities: Widening access to research instrumentation

  The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) has approved funding for ten additional core facilities to make existing research instrumentation more easily and efficiently accessible to researchers. This decision was made by the DFG's Joint Committee. The projects will each r more

• A Platform System for Microwave Sample Preparation
  

  Today's technology enables the near-perfect determination of trace elements in all concentrations down to the ultra trace range. Modern AAS, ICP-OES, ICP-MS or electrochemical procedures such as voltammetry are reliable and accurate measuring methods for almost every type of task. However, in most cases the sample material has to be supplied in a suitable, measurable form, i.e. as a largely matrix-free solution without contamination or loss of analytes more

• Reaching the Next Level of Microwave-assisted Organic Synthesis

  Microwave-assisted organic synthesis (MAOS) has become an increasingly popular discipline in modern chemical method development. At first, reaction optimization and method development on a small scale were the main areas of interest in MAOS. However, the growing acceptance and success of this innovative microwave technology revealed the necessity for large-scale synthesis of valuable compounds using microwave heating, especially in industrial laboratories more

• CO2 Gas Calibration with eVol®, the digital analytical syringe
  

  Using eVol® for injection of different volumes of CO2, CEP/TEP was able to achieve calibration of their instrument with levels of accuracy and precision not previously obtained using manual syringes. In addition, the needles on the eVol® syringes allow for sample collection directly from the gas bottle – similarly to the manual syringes used previously more

• Effect of heat treatment on internal atmosphere and leaf extension of minimally processed leek stalks

  Summary Leeks trimmed at 20 cm from their base were immersed in a 55 °C hot water bath. During the heat treatment (HT), the internal gases released from each stalk were collected, and their volume as well as CO2 and O2 concentrations were determined. After HT, cooling and storage at 10 °C for 8  more

• The Arabidopsis GIBBERELLIN METHYL TRANSFERASE 1 suppresses gibberellin activity, reduces whole‐plant transpiration and promotes drought tolerance in transgenic tomato

  Abstract Previous studies have shown that reduced gibberellin (GA) level or signal promotes plant tolerance to environmental stresses, including drought, but the underlying mechanism is not yet clear. Here we studied the effects of reduced levels of active GAs on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) pl more

• A recombinant carboxy‐terminal domain of alpha‐toxin protects mice against Clostridium perfringens

  Abstract Clostridium perfringens alpha‐toxin (CP, 370 residues) is one of the main agents involved in the development of gas gangrene. In this study, the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of the C‐terminal domain (CP251‐370) of the toxin and phospholipase C (PLC; CB, 372 residues) of Clost more
