F NMR Allows the Investigation of the Fate of Platinum(IV) Prodrugs in Physiological Conditions
No full textPtIV prodrugs can overcome resistance and side effects of conventional PtII anticancer therapies. By 19 F-labeling of a PtIV prodrug (Pt-FBA, FBA=p-fluorobenzoate), the activation under physiological conditions could be investigated. Unlike single-electron reductants, multi-electron agents can efficiently promote the two electrons reduction of PtIV to PtII . The activation of Pt-FBA in cell lysate is highly dependent upon the type of cancer cells. When administered to E. coli, Pt-FBA is reduced intracellularly and free FBA can shuttle out of the cell. The reduction rate greatly increases by inducing metallothionein overexpression and is lowered by addition of ZnII ions. When injected into mice, Pt-FBA undergoes fast reduction in the bloodstream accompanied by metabolic degradation of FBA; nevertheless, unreduced Pt-FBA can accumulate to detectable levels in liver and kidneys. The 19 F NMR approach has the advantage of avoiding the interference of all background signals
Soil development in a Quaternary fluvio-lacustrine paleosol sequence in Southern Italy
No full textThe aim of this paper is to enrich our knowledge of an important paleosol succession located in Bojano basin of the southern Apennines (Italy), with new pedological, geochemical and magnetic data. The studied area consists of alluvial and fluvial-lacustrine sequences (>160 m) dating from the Middle Pleistocene (0.5 Ma). The study area shows the presence of recent soil consisting of well-developed Andosols (RS), and several clastic sedimentary levels alternating with four layers (Solum I, II, III and IV) of paleosols. Soil and paleosols were analyzed by laser grain size distribution (GSD), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), trace elements, and magnetic properties in order to evaluate the relative contributions of pedogenic and detrital components. Results showed that the finest pedogenic ferrimagnetic grains exhibit two trends with respect to the degree of pedogenesis indicate two different pedoclimate formations. The paleosol sequence consists of highly-weathered Vertisols (Solum I and IV) and of less weathered Entisols (Solum II, III). The recent soil (Andosol) has a strong bimodal distribution formed mostly by coarse silt-size particles related to the volcanic parent material. Solum I showed a sharp unimodal clay GSD while Solum III and IV were composed of bimodal GSD with high percentages of fine silt-size particles. On the basis of the trace element content and Gt/χfd ratio, all Solum (I, II, III, IV) exhibited low weathering pedogenesis compared with RS and negligible contribution to the magnetic properties of the coarse fractions. This occurs in Vertisols which developed under humid temperate climates (Solum I and SIV) and formed below the layer of Neapolitan Yellow Tuff, developed after 12-15 ka BP. In Solum, II, III the finest sedimentary levels, the low rate of pedogenesis could have developed under more cold climatic conditions after the last eruption (Campanian Ignimbrite, 39 ka) in the Late Pleistocene
Reconstructing Vegetation Temperature Condition Index Based on the Savitzky–Golay Filter
No full textInternational audienceVegetation temperature condition index (VTCI) is a near-real-time drought monitoring approach which is derived from normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) changes in a given region to land surface temperature (LST) changes of pixels with a given NDVI value. It can be physically explained as the ratio of temperature differences among the pixels which have the same NDVI values. Due to the noise in the NDVI and LST, results of VTCI have much deviation. The Savitzky.Golay filter, a weighted moving average filter as a polynomial of a certain degree, is applied to smooth out noise in NDVI and LST time-series. VTCI were taken into Guanzhong Plain of Shaanxi Province of each 10-days from March to May in 2007 and 2008 as the study data. In order to reconstruct VTCI space-time (temporal and spatial) series data, the Savitzky.Golay filter was used to reconstruct the VTCI time-series of each pixel in remote sensing images. Then, the results were extended to the surface from the point. The results show that the Savitzky.Golay filter could improve the quality of VTCI and could get a better drought monitoring result

The specific name “ parametacarp ” derived from the Latin prefix “para” and the name of speciesgroup metacarp, referring to it is relatively close to metacarp -group of the genus Apanteles. Remarks. This species is similar to D. mycale Nixon but differs from the latter by the following: horizontal surface of T1 smooth to uneven or sparsely shallowly punctate (the latter conspicuously rugose all over); inner spur of hind tibia distinctly longer than outer one (the latter hardly longer); and penultimate antennomere more than 1.5× longer than wide, usually twice (the latter varying from one-and-one-third to one-and-a-half).Published as part of Liu, Zhen, He, Jun-Hua & Chen, Xue-Xin, 2018, The laevigata - group of the genus Dolichogenidea Mason, 1981 from China, with descriptions of 26 new species, pp. 1-74 in Zootaxa 4436 (1) on pages 44-47, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4436.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/129268
