PHYLOGEOGRAPHY AND GENETIC DIVERSITY OF THE JAPANESE MUD SHRIMP UPOGEBIA MAJOR (CRUSTACEA, DECAPODA, UPOGEBIIDAE): NATURAL OR ANTHROPOGENIC DISPERSAL?

Upogebia major (De Haan, 1841) is known for forming huge burrows in sandy, intertidal areas that can extend to depths of over 2 m.Despite its widespread distribution in East Asia and Russia, the genetic relatedness of its regional populations remains uncertain, likely owing to difficulties in specimen collection.Therefore, to appraise the phylogeog

Sulforaphane (SFN), an isothiocyanate found in cruciferous vegetables, is a common dietary component that has histone deacetylase inhibition activity and exciting potential in Left Front Cover cancer prevention.The mechanisms by which SFN imparts its chemopreventive properties are of considerable interest and little is known of its preventive poten

Abstract Objective To explore the characteristics of renal artery variation in patients with renal cell carcinoma and to evaluate the predicting value of accessory renal artery in the pathological grading of renal cell carcinoma.Methods The clinicopathological data of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma diagnosed in the Department of Urol

A simple approach to test photocatalyst activity has been described.Photocatalytic degradation of a model dye was measured using a smartphone.The color changes were registered directly in the micro-photoreactor.The model dye Rhodamine B was degraded under UV irradiation (365 nm).The effect of H2O2 concentration and titanium dioxide photocatalyst do
