Soil food webs are driven by plant-derived carbon (C) entering the soil belowground as rhizodeposits or aboveground via leaf litter, with recent research pointing to a higher importance of the former for driving forest soil food webs. Using natural abundance

The main limitation of isotopic tracking for inferring distribution is the lack of detailed reference maps of the isotopic landscape (i.e. isoscapes) in the marine environment. Here, we attempt to map the marine δ(13) C isoscape for the southwestern sector

The mass transfer mechanism in four prototype columns (2.1 and 3.0×50mm, 2.1 and 3.0×100mm) packed with 1.9μm fully porous Titan-C18 particles was investigated by using two previously reported home-made protocols. The first one was used to measure the eddy dispersion

The effect of gradient steepness on the kinetic performance limits and peak compression effects has been assessed in gradient mode for the separation of phenol derivatives using columns packed with 2.6μm core-shell particles. The effect of mobile-phase velocity on peak

We measured single-unit mechanosensitive afferent activities (SAAs) during reflexic, rhythmic bladder contractions (RBCs), and examined whether L-arginine, an NO substrate, and mirabegron, a β3-adrenoceptor agonist, and oxybutynin, an antimuscarinic agent, can affect the SAAs in such condition. Twenty-nine female Sprague-Dawley
