Individual-based simulations of colonization for two neutral microbial taxa. by Román Zapién-Campos (9592478)

“…Scale bars = 20 μm. b) Quantification of the amount of aggregation (aggregate area normalized to tissue area), defined by MJF-14 staining (p-value = 0.09). c-d) Quantification of the mean fluorescence intensity of α-syn aggregates detected with MJF-14 (c, p-value = 0.712) and aggregate-specific pS129 that overlaps with MJF-14 (d, p-value = 0.214). e) Quantification of nuclear (non-aggregate related) pS129, illustrating a significant decrease in mean fluorescence intensity following PLK2i-treatment (p-value = 0.0087). f) Relative ratio of aggregate-specific pS129/nuclear pS129 in PFF-injected slices shows an increase of ratio of the signals of aggregates/background following PLK2i treatment, due to reduction of the non-aggregate-related nuclear pS129-signal (p-value = 0.009). …”

Table_1_Effect of Abdominal Circumference on the Irradiated Bowel Volume in Pelvic Radiotherapy for Rectal Cancer Patients: Implications for the Radiotherapy-Related Intestinal Tox... by Gang Wang (36685)

“…In adjuvant radiotherapy patients, we further discovered the threshold effect between AC and irradiated bowel volume, as AC was greater than the inflection point (about 71 cm), irradiated bowel volume decreased rapidly with the increase in AC. t-test showed that in patients with small AC (<71 cm), the irradiated bowel volume was significantly higher than that of patients with medium-large AC (≥71 cm). …”

Proton Transfer and Structure-Specific Fluorescence in Hydrogen Bond-Rich Protein Structures by Dorothea Pinotsi (1305144)

“…The importance of proton transfer on the intrinsic fluorescence observed in protein fibrils is signified by large reductions in the fluorescence intensity upon either fully protonating, or deprotonating, the fibrils at pH = 0 or 14, respectively. Thus, our results point to the existence of a structure-specific fluorophore that does not require the presence of aromatic residues or multiple bond conjugation that characterize conventional fluorescent systems. …”
