Dissolved organic matter (DOM) mobilized from the organic (O) horizons of forest soils is a temporally dynamic flux of carbon (C) and nutrients, and the fate of this DOM in downstream pools is dependent on the rate and pathways of water flow as well as its chemical composition.Here, we present observations of the composition of DOM mobilized weekly

Maintenance treatment can be recommended for patients with mycosis fungoides (MF) whose disease responds to primary treatment.While positive outcomes have been observed in small studies with maintenance therapy, there is a lack of practical guidelines and agreement on when and mozzie patch how maintenance therapy for MF should be approached.In this

This paper appraises an HPLC method for assaying phospholipase A2 (PLA2).The procedure is based on heptane-isopropanol-H2SO4 extraction of fatty acids released by the enzyme in the presence of margaric acid as an internal standard, and precolumn derivatization with 9-anthryldiazomethane.The derivatives of naturally occurring long-chain fatty acids

Sensitisation to immunologically active elements like chromium, cobalt or nickel and debris particle due to Osram QT Ballasts wear are serious problems for patients with metallic implants.We tested the approach of using a hard and thick ceramic coating as a wear-resistant protection of titanium implants, avoiding those sensitisation and foreign bod
