Well-crystalline $SnO_2$ nanoparticles of 4-5 nm size with different In contents were synthesized by hydrothermal process at relatively low temperature and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), microRaman spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Indium incorporation in $SnO_2$ lattice is seen to cause a lattice expansion, increasing the average size of the nanoparticles. The fundamental phonon vibration modes of $SnO_2$ lattice suffer a broadening, and surface modes associated to particle size shift gradually with the increase of In content. Incorporation of In drastically enhances the PL emission of $SnO_2$ nanoparticles associated to deep electronic defect levels. Although In incorporation reduces the band gap energy of $SnO_2$ crystallites only marginally, it affects drastically their dye degradation behaviors under UV illumination. While the UV degradation of methylene blue (MB) by undoped $SnO_2$ nanoparticles occurs through the production of intermediate byproducts such as azure A, azure B, and azure C, direct mineralization of MB takes place for In-doped $SnO_2$ nanoparticles.

In this paper we introduce two products of tempered distributions with positive support. These products are based in the Laguerre representation of distributions. We calculate some products as, $[{\delta}]x^{\lambda}_+={\delta}[x^{\lambda}_+]=0\;and\;[x^{\lambda}_+]x^{\mu}_+=x^{{\lambda}+{\mu}}_+$ for appropriate ${\lambda}$ and ${\mu}$.

Outbreaks of tick-borne disease cases in Santa Catarina, Brazil are known, but the presence of the pathogen DNA has never been determined. In this study, the first survey of Anaplasma marginale, Babesia bigemina, and Babesia bovis DNA on blood samples of 33 cattle from an outbreak in Ponte Alta Municipality, Santa Catarina, Brazil, has been carried out. A multiplex PCR detected 54.5% of animals were co-infected with 2 or 3 parasites, while 24.2% were infected with only 1 species. The most prevalent agent was B. bigemina (63.6%) followed by A. marginale (60.6%). This is the first report of tick-borne disease pathogens obtained by DNA analysis in Southern Brazil.

단백질 2-DE 이미지 분석에서 단백질 자체가 가지고 있는 불안정성과 2-DE 실험이 가지고 있는 근본적인 문제점으로 인하여 이미지 스팟 매칭 분석의 정확도가 낮아지게 된다. 이 논문에서는 다중 참조이미지를 사용하여, 스팟 매칭 패턴의 정확도에 큰 영향을 주는 이미지 찌그러짐을 보완하고, 그에 따른 노이즈 스팟 제거와 참조 이미지 품질에 의한 정확도 저하를 최소화하는 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 2-DE 이미지의 데이터 특성에 의하여 이미지 수가 증가할 때 성능이 급격히 떨어지는 문제를 해결하기 위하여, 다중 참조이미지를 사용하여 구축한 스팟 매칭 데이터베이스를 이미지의 생물학적 특성에 의하여 "분할 및 확장" 방법을 사용하여, 정확도를 향상시키는 동시에 패턴 길이를 보장하는 스팟 매칭 패턴을 효과적으로 생성하였다. 실험에서는 실제 인간 2-DE 이미지 데이터를 사용하여 제안한 방법의 타당성을 보여준다.

In this article, we present the effects of Ag doping and after-growth thermal annealing on the photoluminescence (PL) and thermoluminescence (TL) behaviors of $SnO_2$ nanoparticles. $SnO_2$ nanoparticles of 4-7 nm size range containing different Ag contents were synthesized by hydrothermal process. It has been observed that the after-growth thermal annealing process enhances the crystallite size and stabilizes the TL emissions of $SnO_2$ nanostructures. Incorporated Ag probably occupies the interstitial sites of the $SnO_2$ lattice, affecting drastically their emission behaviors on thermal annealing. Both the TL response and dose-linearity of the $SnO_2$ nanoparticles improve on 1.0% Ag doping, and subsequent thermal annealing. However, a higher Ag content causes the formation of Ag clusters, reducing both the TL and PL responses of the nanoparticles.

RF 스피터링법을 써서 $Li_{2x}Ni_{1-x}O$ 박막을 제조하였으며, 그 과정에서 기판의 온도$(50/230^{\circ}C)와$ 분위기 $(Ar/O_2)$를 변수로써 막의 미세구조를 조절하였다. 투과전자현미경을 이용한 막 구조 분석에 의해 낮은 기판 온도와 $O_2$ 조건에서 막의 조성입자가 작아짐을 관찰하였고, $50^{\circ}C/O_2$ 하에서 얻이진 $Li_{2x}Ni_{1-x}O$ 박막은 약 $80\AA$ 크기의 입자로 이루어져 있었다. 전기화학적 조건 하에서 $Li_{2x}Ni_{1-x}O$ 박막의 변색현상을 조사한 결과, 박막의 미세구조 발달에 의해 $Li^+$ 이온의 가역적 수용량이 증가하고, 결과적으로 전기변색 기능이 향상됨을 알 수 있엇다. 50 $^{\circ}C/O_2$ 하에서 얻어진 170 nm 두께의 $Li_{2x}Ni_{1-x}O$ 박막은 30 mC/$cm^2$의 $Li^+$ 이온 수용력과 함께 약 1.3의 흡광밀도(OD)를 나타내었다.

In this note we consider the monoid $\mathcal{PODI}_n$ of all monotone partial permutations on $\{1,{\ldots},n\}$ and its submonoids $\mathcal{DP}_n$, $\mathcal{POI}_n$ and $\mathcal{ODP}_n$ of all partial isometries, of all order-preserving partial permutations and of all order-preserving partial isometries, respectively. We prove that both the monoids $\mathcal{POI}_n$ and $\mathcal{ODP}_n$ are quotients of bilateral semidirect products of two of their remarkable submonoids, namely of extensive and of co-extensive transformations. Moreover, we show that $\mathcal{PODI}_n$ is a quotient of a semidirect product of $\mathcal{POI}_n$ and the group $\mathcal{C}_2$ of order two and, analogously, $\mathcal{DP}_n$ is a quotient of a semidirect product of $\mathcal{ODP}_n$ and $\mathcal{C}_2$.

The inflammatory response during cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) involves immune and non-immune cell cooperation to contain and eliminate Leishmania parasites. The orchestration of these responses is coordinated primarily by CD4⁺ T cells; however, the disease outcome depends on the Th cell predominant phenotype. Although Th1 and Th2 phenotypes are the most addressed as steers for the resolution or perpetuation of the disease, Th17 cell activities, especially IL-17 release, are recognized to be vital during CL development. Th17 cells perform vital functions during both acute and chronic phases of CL. Overall, Th17 cells induce the migration of phagocytes (neutrophils, macrophages) to the infection site and CD8⁺ T cells and NK cell activation. They also provoke granzyme and perforin secretion from CD8⁺ T cells, macrophage differentiation towards an M2 phenotype, and expansion of B and Treg cells. Likewise, immune cells from the inflammatory infiltrate have modulatory activities over Th17 cells involving their differentiation from naive CD4⁺ T cells and further expansion by generating a microenvironment rich in optimal cytokines such as IL-1β, TGF-β, IL-6, and IL-21. Th17 cell activities and synergies are crucial for the resistance of the infection during the early and acute stages; however, if unchecked, Th17 cells might lead to a chronic stage. This review discusses the synergies between Th17 cells and the inflammatory infiltrate and how these interactions might destine the course of CL.
