Species fractionation in atomic chains from mechanically stretched alloys.
Bettini et al (2006 Nat. Nanotechnol. 1 182-5) reported the first experimental realization of linear atomic chains (LACs) composed of different atoms (Au and Ag). The different contents of Au and Ag were observed in the chains...
Structural and functional analysis of four non-coding Y RNAs from Chinese hamster cells
Quirino Alves de Lima Neto, Francisco Ferreira Duarte Junior, Paulo Sérgio Alves Bueno, Flavio Augusto Vicente Seixas, Madzia Pauline Kowalski, Eyemen Kheir, Torsten Krude, Maria Aparecida Fernandez
Sep 29, 2016
BACKGROUND: The genes coding for Y RNAs are evolutionarily conserved in vertebrates. These non-coding RNAs are essential for the initiation of chromosomal DNA replication in vertebrate cells. However thus far, no information is...
Rethinking the Informal and Criminal Economy from a Global Commodity Chain Perspective
Rosana Pinheiro Machado
Jun 11, 2018
The criminalization of Chinese counterfeit goods in the global market calls for a fresh approach to understanding well‐established binary distinctions such as legal/illegal, licit/illicit, and formal/informal. Based on a...
Cyanogenesis in Arthropods
Chemical defences are key components in insect⁻plant interactions, as insects continuously learn to overcome plant defence systems by, e.g., detoxification, excretion or sequestration. Cyanogenic glucosides are natural products...

From hope to hate
This essay focuses on the voters of Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro in Morro da Cruz, a low-income community in Porto Alegre. The transition from Lulism (2002–16) to Bolsonarism (2018–) was marked by the rise and fall of the...
The right to shine
This article discusses the political impacts on the poor’s subjectivity provoked by neoliberal policies such as inclusion through consumption in 21st century Brazil. From 2009 to 2014, we carried out ethnographic research with...

Plant cell wall architecture guided design of CBM3-GH11 chimeras with enhanced xylanase activity using a tandem repeat left-handed β-3-prism scaffold.
Effective use of plant biomass as an abundant and renewable feedstock for biofuel production and biorefinery requires efficient enzymatic mobilization of cell wall polymers. Knowledge of plant cell wall composition and...
Reprogramming of the wheat transcriptome in response to infection with Claviceps purpurea, the causal agent of ergot.
Eleni Tente, Nelzo Ereful, Anyela Camargo Rodriguez, Paul Grant, Donal M O'Sullivan, Lesley A Boyd, Anna Gordon
Aug 11, 2021
BACKGROUND: Ergot, caused by the fungal pathogen Claviceps purpurea, infects the female flowers of a range of cereal crops, including wheat. To understand the interaction between C. purpurea and hexaploid wheat we undertook an...

Zebrafish adult pigment stem cells are multipotent and form pigment cells by a progressive fate restriction process
Skin pigment pattern formation is a paradigmatic example of pattern formation. In zebrafish, the adult body stripes are generated by coordinated rearrangement of three distinct pigment cell-types, black melanocytes, shiny...
Multi-Criteria Analysis and Consequential Lifecycle Assessment of Solid Waste Management
Based on a case study comparing different approaches for management of organic waste generated in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this study proposes the combination of consequential lifecycle assessment (CLCA) and...

Towards controlling the solid state valence tautomeric interconversion character by solvation
Marcos A. Ribeiro, Daniel E. Stasiw, Philip Pattison, Paul R. Raithby, David A. Shultz, Carlos B. Pinheiro
Apr 06, 2016
ABSTRACT: Crystals of [Co(diox)2(4-NO2-py)2] (1) and [Co(diox)2(4-CN-py)2] (2) where diox are the o-dioxolene 3,5-di-tbutylsemiquinonate(SQ•-) and/or 3,5-di-t-butylcatecholate (Cat2-) ions, 4-NO2-py is 4-nitro-pyridine, 4-CN-py...
Compact zinc finger base editors that edit mitochondrial or nuclear DNA in vitro and in vivo.
DddA-derived cytosine base editors (DdCBEs) use programmable DNA-binding TALE repeat arrays, rather than CRISPR proteins, a split double-stranded DNA cytidine deaminase (DddA), and a uracil glycosylase inhibitor to mediate...
Chromosomal painting in Charadrius collaris Vieillot, 1818 and Vanellus chilensis Molina, 1782 and an analysis of chromosomal signatures in Charadriiformes.
Melquizedec Luiz Silva Pinheiro, Cleusa Yoshiko Nagamachi, Talita Fernanda Augusto Ribas, Cristovam Guerreiro Diniz, Patricia Caroline Mary O Brien, Malcolm Andrew Ferguson-Smith, Fengtang Yang, Julio Cesar Pieczarka
