The early spectra of the kilonova AT2017gfo have a remarkably smooth blackbody continuum, which reveals information on the thermal properties and radioactive heating within the ejecta.However, the widespread use of a single-temperature blackbody to fit kilonova Fridge Handle Mount data is theoretically invalid, because (1) the significant travel-ti
There have been years in Finland when container seedlings of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karsten) planted in the summer have been damaged by early-autumn frosts.For August and September plantings, the seedlings can be hardened by means of short-day (SD) treatment, but little information is available about its usability for earlier plantings.We
A-type copyright (ATC) proteins are proposed to function in the biogenesis of Fe-S clusters, although their exact role remains controversial.The genome of Mycobacterium smegmatis encodes a single ATC protein, MSMEG_4272, which belongs to the HesB/YadR/YfhF family of proteins.Attempts to generate an MSMEG_4272 deletion mutant by Cement Trowel two-st
Abstract Background The geriatric depression scale (GDS) is used widely as a screening instrument for depression worldwide.The present study aims to examine the reliability and validity of the GDS with 30 items (GDS-30) in Chinese cognitively normal elderly, and to preliminarily investigate the appropriateness of the GDS-30 among screened mild cogn
