Paper is increasingly recognized as a user-friendly and ubiquitous substrate for construction
of microfluidic devices. Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) provide an …

It has been known that the lack of excellent corrosion resistance is the key problem restricting
the wide application of Mg−Li alloys. Based on a quantity of literature about corrosion …

Lipid rafts, the sphingolipid and cholesterol-enriched membrane microdomains, are able to
form different membrane macrodomains or platforms upon stimulations, including redox …

A pot experiment was performed to compare the impact of organic manure on soil enzymatic
activity, respiration rate and the growth of two barley cultivars (Hordeum vulgare L.) differing …

… levels of silicon (Si) in the tops, though the mechanism for its high Si uptake is little understood.
In … of Si in C. sativus along with Vicia faba at three levels of Si (0.085, 0.17 and 1.70 mm). …

Background and Purpose Recent reports have suggested that salidroside could protect
cardiomyocytes from oxidative injury and stimulate glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells by …

Retrofitting existing buildings with appropriate green technologies is an important element
of strategies to mitigate climate change. The selection of green technologies can be a …

Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is an established pro-atherosclerotic factor, but the
mechanism is not completely understood. We explored whether TNF-α could promote …

Background Diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia have not been established in Chinese. This
study established criteria based on the L3‐skeletal muscle index (L3‐SMI) and assessed its …

Superconductivity at 9–15 K was recently discovered in Nd 0.8 Sr 0.2 NiO 2 films. Since the
Ni 1+ ionic state in NdNiO 2 may have the same 3d 9 outer-shell electronic orbital as in …
