We have studied magnetic Feshbach resonances in an ultracold sample of Na prepared the absolute hyperfine ground state. report on observation three $s$-, eight $d$-, and $g$-wave resonances, including a more precise determination two known $s$-wave one resonance at field exceeding 200 mT. Using coupled-channels calculation we improved sodium ground-state potentials by taking into account these new experimental data derived values for scattering lengths. In addition, description molecular...
We prepare a superposition of two motional states by addressing lithium atoms immersed in Bose-Einstein condensate sodium with species-selective potential. The evolution the state is characterized populations constituent as well their coherence. latter we extract employing novel scheme analogous to spin-echo technique. Comparing results directly measurements on freely evolving fermions allows us isolate decoherence effects induced bath. In our system, time close maximal possible value since...
Since late 2019, concerns regarding trace levels of the probable human carcinogen N-dimethylnitrosamine (NDMA) in Metformin-containing pharmaceuticals have been an issue if they exceeded maximum allowable intake 96 ng/day for a medicine with long-term intake. Here, we report results from extensive analysis NDMA content along active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing process as well two different drug product processes. Our findings confirm that Metformin API is not significant...
The rapid spread of the SARS-CoV-2 lineages B.1.1.7 (N501Y.V1) throughout UK, B.1.351 (N501Y.V2) in South Africa, and P.1 (B.1.1.28.1; N501Y.V3) Brazil has led to definition variants concern (VoCs) recommendations for lineage specific surveillance. In Switzerland, during last weeks December 2020, we established a nationwide screening protocol across multiple laboratories, focusing first on epidemiological microbiological definitions. January 2021, validated implemented an N501Y-specific PCR...
We have observed 26 interspecies Feshbach resonances at fields up to 2050 G in ultracold $^6$Li+$^{23}$Na mixtures for different spin-state combinations. Applying the asymptotic bound-state model assign resonances, we found that most d-wave character. This analysis serves as guidance a coupled-channel calculation, which uses modified interaction potentials describe positions of well within experimental uncertainty and calculate their widths. The scattering length derived from improved is...
We demonstrate the ion-selective response of an electrolyte-gated carbon nanotube network-based field-effect transistor fabricated on a flexible polyimide substrate. Selective toward two prominent second messengers for cell-cell communication, namely K <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">+</sup> and Ca xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2+</sup> , is demonstrated by modifying network with different polymeric membranes. The...
Synthetic amorphous silica (SAS) constitute a large group of industrial nanomaterials (NM). Based on their different production processes, SAS can be distinguished as precipitated, fumed, gel and colloidal. The biological activity SAS, e.g., cytotoxicity or inflammatory potential in the lungs is low but has been shown to depend particle size, at least for colloidal silica. Therefore, preparation suspensions from highly aggregated agglomerated powder materials critical. Here we analyzed...
Objective: In an intent-to-treat study increase in CD4 cell count, reduction of viral load, clinical benefit and adverse reactions were examined HIV-infected previously treatment-naive children taking triple therapy. Methods: sixteen category A or B on antiretroviral therapy followed-up for a period 12 months. group I eight patients received zidovudine, lamivudine nelfinavir; II stavudine, didanosine nelfinavir. Viral load count measured every 4-8 weeks. Plasma nelfinavir levels assessed...
The Interleukin-1/Toll-like receptor signaling pathway is a crucial within the innate immune system and use of mass spectrometric techniques became valuable to investigate signal transduction pathways. To date only few reports exist that focus on identification novel intermediates TLR pathway. Here we used this approach systematically identify new interaction partners subsequently characterized them functionally. We identified 14-3-3 theta as member complex. With genetic complementation...
We report on a 10-year-old girl with severe aplastic anaemia who developed rhinocerebral infection caused by Absidia corymbifera and possible co-infection Alternaria alternata. Despite prolonged neutropenia, therapy liposomal amphotericin B posaconazole improved the clinical condition. Subsequently, underwent allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for underlying disease, but fungal remained under control antifungal treatment. No side effect of drugs was noted....
Cells respond to protein misfolding and aggregation in the cytosol by adjusting gene transcription a number of post-transcriptional processes. In parallel functional reactions, cellular structure changes as well; however, mechanisms underlying early adaptation compartments cytosolic are less clear. Here we show that mammalian ubiquitin ligase C-terminal Hsp70-interacting (CHIP), if freed from chaperones during acute stress, can dock on membranes thus performing proteostasis sensor function....
Raman microscopy has been used to develop a method analyze and spatially profile the variation in crosslinking EVA for encapsulation of PV modules.
