Aspergillus flavus has two morphotypes, the S strain and L strain, that differ in aflatoxin-producing ability other characteristics. Fungal communities on maize dominated by of A. have repeatedly been associated with acute aflatoxin poisonings Kenya, where management tools to reduce levels are needed urgently. isolates (n = 290) originating from produced Kenya belonging morphotype were tested for potential. A total 96 atoxigenic was identified four provinces sampled. The placed into 53...

VHA's Corporate Data Warehouse (CDW) was developed 2006 to accommodate massive amounts data being generated from more than 20 years use and streamline process knowledge discovery application. This article describes developments research associated with transition into world Big analytics through CDW utilization. majority studies...
Spherical rotors can be used for magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance.
Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) is used to improve the inherently poor sensitivity of magnetic resonance spectroscopy by transferring spin from electrons nuclei. However, DNP radicals within sample can have detrimental effects on spins close polarizing agent. Chirped microwave pulses and electron decoupling (eDEC) attenuate these in model systems, but this approach yet be applied intact cells or cellular lysates. Herein, we demonstrate for first time exceptionally fast 1H T1DNP times just...
We demonstrate for the first time in-cell dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) in conjunction with flow cytometry sorting to address cellular heterogeneity of samples. Utilizing a green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter HIV reactivation, we correlate increased 15N resonance intensity cytokine-driven reactivation human cell line model latency. As few as 10% GFP+ cells could be detected by DNP magnetic (NMR). The inclusion cytometric prior analysis DNP-NMR further boosted signal detection...
Spherical rotors are a new paradigm in magic angle spinning (MAS) solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).The simple geometry makes smaller diameter spheres and their utilization within narrow-bore NMR probes feasible.Here we report 68 kHz frequency of 2 mm using helium gas outside the magnet demonstrate use KMnO 4 to adjust at 59.3 for MAS NMR.We observe third-order sidebands 55 Mn spectrum clearly showing kHz, with KBr nearly no first-order similar frequency.The stability was ±0.5%...
Precise alignment of the sample's spinning axis is vital for many magic angle solid state NMR experiments. Spherical rotors are a new paradigm NMR, having been demonstrated to spin stably with little risk rotor crash, but like cylindrical rotors, they have previously only utilized mechanical adjustment method set rotation angle. Here we show that by using second gas aperture within stator, spherical rotor's may be precisely pitched about without or motion stator. The 2H MAS sideband...
