Background.Aim was to elucidate the role of toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) in cardiac inflammation and septic heart failure in a murine model of polymicrobial sepsis.Methods.Sepsis was induced via colon ascendens stent peritonitis (CASP) in C57BL/6 Household Thermometers wild-type (WT) and TLR9-deficient (TLR9-D) mice.Bacterial load in the peritoneal
Inferring the effects of compositional boundary layers on crystal nucleation, growth textures, and mineral chemistry in natural volcanic tephras through submicron-resolution imaging
Crystal nucleation and growth are first order processes captured in volcanic rocks and record important information about the Sofa Table rates of magmatic processes and chemical evolution of magmas during their ascent and eruption.We have studied glass-rich andesitic tephras from the Central Plateau of the Southern Taupo Volcanic Zone by electron-
Full Assignment of Ab-Initio Raman Spectra at Finite Temperatures Using Wannier Polarizabilities: Application to Cyclohexane Molecule in Gas Phase
We demonstrate how to fully ascribe Raman peaks simulated using ab initio molecular dynamics to specific vibrations in the structure at finite temperatures by means of Wannier functions.Here, we adopt our newly introduced method for the simulation of the Raman spectra in which the total polarizability of Bushings the system is expressed as a sum ov
