Rear-end impacts are the most frequent type of the more than seven million motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) occurring annually in the United States. The cervical and lumbar spine are the most commonly injured sites as a result of rear-end collisions. The direction and magnitude of accelerations and forces to the spine are considered primary indicators of injury. Read More

Porous electrodes that conduct electrons, protons, and oxygen ions with dramatically expanded catalytic active sites can replace conventional electrodes with sluggish kinetics in protonic ceramic electrochemical cells. In this work, a strategy is utilized to promote triple conduction by facilitating proton conduction in praseodymium cobaltite perovskite through engineering non-equivalent B-site Ni/Co occupancy. Surface infrared spectroscopy is used to study the dehydration behavior, which proves the existence of protons in the perovskite lattice. Read More

Background: Brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), is one of the most destructive pests of rice accounting for 52% of annual yield loss. The breakdown of resistance against known BPH biotypes necessitates the identification and deployment of new genes from diverse sources. The current study aimed at mapping and transfer of a novel BPH resistance gene from the wild species of rice O. Read More

Neuroinflammation has become a well-accepted pathologic hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, it remains unclear whether inflammation, triggered by α-syn aggregation and/or degeneration, contributes to the progression of the disease. Studies examining neuroinflammation in PD are unable to distinguish between Lewy body-associated inflammation and degeneration-associated inflammation, as both pathologies are present simultaneously.

The fine structure of isotopic peak distributions of glutathione in mass spectra is measured using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) at 12 and 15 T magnetic field, with an infinity cell and a dynamically harmonized cell (DHC) respectively. The resolved peaks in the fine structure of glutathione consist of H, C, N, O, O, S, S, S, and combinations of them. The positions of the measured fine structure peaks agree with the simulated isotopic distributions with the mass error less than 250 ppb in broadband mode for the infinity cell and no more than 125 ppb with the DHC after internal calibration.
