Translational control is essential in response to stress. We investigated the translational programmes launched by the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe upon five environmental stresses. We also explored the contribution of defence pathways to these programmes: The Integrated Stress Response (ISR)
This paper reports the syntheses, characterization, and structures of two new two-dimensional cadmium-thiocyanate coordination solids [(12C4)(2)Cd][Cd(2)(SCN)(6)] (1) and [(12C4)(2)Cd][Cd(3)(SCN)(8)] (2), where 12C4 denotes 12-crown-4, C(8)H(16)O(4). 1 crystallizes in a monoclinic unit cell, space group C2/c with lattice parameters a =

This work was planned for providing useful information about the possibility of using serpentine adapted plants for phytoextraction of cadmium, element scarcely represented in such metalliferous environment. To this aim, we investigated variation in cadmium tolerance, accumulation and translocation in
Electric-field enhancement of photovoltaic devices: a third reason for the increase in the efficiency of photovoltaic devices by carbon nanotubes.

Mesoporous silica nanotubes (MSNTs) and amine-functionalized MSNTs (NH(2)-MSNTs) have been successfully synthesized via a sol-gel route using needle-like CaCO(3) nanoparticles as inorganic templates and post-modification with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. Subsequently, the preformed nanotubes were functionalized with blue fluorescent CdS quantum dots, as
Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are semiconducting crystals of only a few nanometers (ca. 2–12 nm) coated with ligand/surfactant molecules to help prevent agglomeration.
