It is generally agreed that the hepatotoxic microcystins (MCs) are the most abundant toxins produced by cyanobacteria in freshwater. In various freshwater lakes in East Africa MC-producing Microcystis has been reported to dominate the phytoplankton, howeve ...
Recent advances in nanotechnol. produced the 1st sensor transducers capable of resolving the adsorption and desorption of single mols. Examples include near IR fluorescent single-walled carbon nanotubes that report single-mol. binding via stochastic quench ...
Bisphenol A [BPA, 2,2,-bis (hydroxyphenyl) propane] is one of the highest-volume chemicals produced worldwide. It is detected in body fluids of more than 90% of the human population. Originally synthesized as an estrogenic compound, it is currently utilize ...
Unique worldwide, Lake Kivu stores enormous amounts of CH4 and CO2. A recent study reported that CH4 concentrations in the lake have increased by up to 15% in the last 30 years and that accumulation at this rate could lead to catastrophic outgassing by sim ...
Current energetic context involving skyrocketing oil prices, population growing rates without precedents and increasing concerns about nuclear energy and climate change issues requires rapid, economically feasible and reliable progress in the field of rene ...
With the projected increase in world population to 9 billion by 2050, along with per capita income growth, the demand for land and water resources is going to increase significantly. Conversion of land to intensive agriculture has led to dramatic decreases ...

Today a crude oil barrel has five times the prize it had fifteen years ago, moreover, we have increased our global energy consumption by almost 40 percent since then and population growing rates are higher than ever before. In addition, recent tragic event ...
Gadd45alpha is a nuclear protein encoded by a DNA damage-inducible gene. Through its interactions with other proteins, Gadd45alpha participates in the regulation of DNA repair, cell cycle, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. The NMR structure of human Gadd4 ...

Background and Aims: Knowledge on how climate-induced range shifts might affect natural selection is crucial to understand the evolution of species range. Methods: Using historical demographic perspectives gathered from regional-scale phylogeography on the ...
The light-induced spin and structure changes upon excitation of the singlet metal-to-ligand charge transfer (1MLCT) state of Fe(II)-polypyridine complexes are investigated in detail in the case of aqueous iron(II)-tris-bipyridine ([FeII(bpy)3]2+) by a comb ...
