Antiviral treatment of feline immunodeficiency virus-infected cats with (R)-9-(2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)-2,6-diaminopurine

Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), the causative agent of an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in cats (feline AIDS), is a ubiquitous health threat to the domestic and feral cat population, also triggering disease in wild animals. No registered antivira ...

Quantitative Kinematic Characterization of Reaching Impairments in Mice After a Stroke

Silvestro Micera, Stefano Lai

Background and Objective. Kinematic analysis of reaching movements is increasingly used to evaluate upper extremity function after cerebrovascular insults in humans and has also been applied to rodent models. Such analyses can require time-consuming frame- ...

KEu(MoO4)(2): Polymorphism, Structures, and Luminescent Properties

Alla Arakcheeva, Philip Pattison

In this paper, with the example of two different polymorphs of KEu(MoO4)(2), the influence of the ordering of the A-cations on the luminescent properties in scheelite related compounds (A',A '') (B',B '')O-4 is investigated. The polymorphs were synthe ...

Actions of amenable equivalence relations on CAT(0) fields

Martin Anderegg, Philippe Paul Antoine Henry

We present the general notion of Borel fields of metric spaces and show some properties of such fields. Then we make the study specific to the Borel fields of proper CAT(0) spaces and we show that the standard tools we need behave in a Borel way. We also i ...

Solvation and stabilization of palladium nanoparticles in phosphonium-based ionic liquids: a combined infrared spectroscopic and density functional theory study

Ning Yan

Analysis of infrared spectra of palladium nanoparticles (NPs) immersed in the tri-tert-butyl-R-phosphonium-based ionic liquids (ILs) demonstrates that both cations and anions of the ILs interact with the NPs. According to quantum-chemical simulations of th ...

Fixed points and amenability in non-positive curvature

Nicolas Monod

Consider a proper cocompact CAT(0) space X. We give a complete algebraic characterisation of amenable groups of isometries of X. For amenable discrete subgroups, an even narrower description is derived, implying Q-linearity in the torsion-free case. We est ...

[Neuronal control of posture and locomotion in decerebrated and spinalized animals]

Grégoire Courtine, Pavel Musienko

We have found that the brainstem-spinal cord circuitry of decerebrated cats actively maintain the equilibrium during standing, walking and imposed mechanical perturbations similar to that observed in intact animals. The corrective hindlimb motor responses ...

Ion Binding and Internal Hydration in the Multidrug Resistance Secondary Active Transporter NorM Investigated by Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Ursula Röthlisberger, Pablo Campomanes Ramos, Stefano Vanni

Recently, a 3.65 angstrom resolution structure of the transporter, NorM from the multidrug and toxic compound extrusion family has been determined in the outward-facing conformation. This antiporter uses electrochemical gradients to drive substrate export ...

Response to Comment on "How Cats Lap: Water Uptake by Felis catus"

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

We return to the physics of cat lapping to show that our proposed scaling analysis predicts the functional dependencies revealed by the experimental data more accurately than a recently proposed alternative description by Nauenberg. Experimental verificati ...

How Cats Lap: Water Uptake by Felis catus

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

Animals have developed a range of drinking strategies depending on physiological and environmental constraints. Vertebrates with incomplete cheeks use their tongue to drink; the most common example is the lapping of cats and dogs. We show that the domestic ...
