Autonomous Supramolecular Interface Self-Healing: Monitored by Restoration of UV/Vis Absorption Spectra of Self-Assembled Thiazole Layers

Longevity of complex organic devices critically depends on the supramolecular integrity of the constituting layers and interfaces. Because the latter are soft matter they can structurally respond to perturbation...

Large area graphene deposition on hydrophobic surfaces, flexible textiles, glass fibers, 3D structures, and adhesion of graphene layer

Graphene and its derivatives have many superior electrical, thermal, mechanical, chemical, and structural properties, and promised for many applications. One of the issues of the scalable applications...

Controlling intestinal colonisation of high-risk haematology patients with ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae – a randomised, placebo-controlled, multicentre, phase II trial (CLEAR)

Objectives: We assessed the efficacy and safety of an oral antimicrobial regimen for short- and long-term intestinal eradication of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae (ESBL-EC/KP)...

Supporting information: Remote control of electronic coupling – modification of excited-state electron-transfer rates in Ru(tpy)2-based donor-acceptor systems by remote ligand design

Clinical S. aureus Isolates Vary in Their Virulence to Promote Adaptation to the Host

Staphylococcus aureus colonizes epithelial surfaces, but it can also cause severe infections. The aim of this work was to investigate whether bacterial virulence correlates with defined types of tissue...

Deviations from Beer’s law on the microscale – Nonadditivity of absorption cross sections

Beer’s law assumes a linear dependence of absorbance on concentration, accordingly the index of absorption and the molar attenuation coefficient are material properties and the absorption cross section,...

Isolation matters – processing blood for Raman microspectroscopic identification of bacteria

Bacteremia with its high mortality is a frequent case in clinical health care. Further, bacteremia includes the considerable risk of progressing to a sepsis. Even in case of survival, sepsis still entails...

Molecular Characterization and Comparative Genomics of Clinical Hybrid Shiga Toxin-Producing and Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC/ETEC) Strains in Sweden

Hybrid E. coli pathotypes are representing emerging public health threats with enhanced virulence from different pathotypes. Hybrids of Shiga toxin-producing and enterotoxigenic E. coli (STEC/ETEC) have...

Short Communication: Diversity of staphylococci isolated from sheep mastitis in northern Algeria

Mastitis in ruminants is an important disease with major effects on both the economy and animal welfare. It is caused by major pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and minor pathogens such as coagulase-negative...

Analysis of viscosity data in As2Se3, Se and Se95Te5 chalcogenide melts using the pressure assisted melt filling technique

The pressure-assisted melt filling technique (PAMFT) is promising approach for integrating new materials such as glasses or semiconductor into fiber, while only a small amount of starting material (<...
