The human macula is a highly specialized retinal region with pit-like morphology and rich in cones. How Müller cells, the principal glial cell type in the retina, are adapted to this environment is still poorly understood. We...
With reference to Herta Müller’s fiction and non-fiction, my essay explores how the trope of silence is engaged to make sense of more abstract concepts. Drawing on conceptual metaphor theory, I argue that Müller uses silence as...
Herta Müller creates sophisticated metaphors to convey her vision of language and its relationship to suffering and subjugation. With reference to both her fiction and non‐fiction, this essay explores how she uses the idea of...
BACKGROUND: The nematode worm C. elegans is a model organism widely used for studies of genetics and of human disease. The health and fitness of the worms can be quantified in different ways, such as by measuring their bending...
Pd 3(OAc) 5NO 2, an impurity in "Pd(OAc) 2" {formally Pd 3(OAc) 6}, emerges as a serious issue in the synthesis of pure Pd II complexes derived from Pd(OAc) 2, for example in our C-H activation precatalyst, Pd(OAc) 2(pip) 2 (pip...
Abstract: A practical way to link separate nodes in quantum networks is to send photons over the standard telecom fibre network. This requires sub-Poissonian photon sources in the wavelength band around 1550 nm, with photon...
PURPOSE: The B-MaP-C study investigated changes to breast cancer care that were necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Here we present a follow-up analysis of those patients commenced on bridging endocrine therapy (BrET), whilst...

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Vitamin C is an antioxidant with a potential role in the prevention of digestive system cancers, but there is yet no consensus whether vitamin C has a causal role in these cancers. The aim of this study was to...
Small (s)RNAs play crucial roles in the regulation of gene expression and genome stability across eukaryotes where they direct epigenetic modifications, post-transcriptional gene silencing, and defense against both endogenous...
BACKGROUND: The B-MaP-C study aimed to determine alterations to breast cancer (BC) management during the peak transmission period of the UK COVID-19 pandemic and the potential impact of these treatment decisions. METHODS: This...

A Dalitz plot analysis of B 0 → η c ( 1 S ) K + π - decays is performed using data samples of pp collisions collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of s = 7 , 8 and 13 Te V , corresponding to a...
The first search for the doubly heavy $\it{\Omega}_{bc}^{\rm0}$ baryon and a
search for $\it{\Xi}_{bc}^{\rm0}$ baryon are performed using $pp$ collision
data collected via the LHCb experiment from 2016 to 2018 at a...
As a readily available feedstock, styrene with about 25 million tons of global annual production serves as an important building block and organic synthon for the synthesis of fine chemicals, polystyrene plastics, and...
A precision measurement of the $B_{c}^{+}$ meson mass is performed using
proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb experiment at
centre-of-mass energies of $7, 8$ and $13$ TeV, corresponding to a total
integrated...
The reaction of a new ligand, ethyl 2,6-diphenylisonicotinate (EtO(2)C-CAN boolean AND C-H(2)), with K(2)PtCl(4) in acetic acid affords the monocyclometalated complex [{(EtO(2)C-CANAC-H)Pt(mu-Cl)}(2)] (1), which transforms to...
AbstractWe quantify global and regional aggregate damages from global warming of 1.5 to 4 °C above pre-industrial levels using a well-established integrated assessment...
