The ability of an organism to sense and respond to environmental redox fluctuations relies on a signaling network that is incompletely understood in apicomplexan parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii.The impact of changes in redox upon the development of this intracellular parasite is not known.Here, we provide a revised collection of 58 genes contai

During advanced meditative practices, unusual perceptions can arise including the sense of receiving information about unknown people who are deceased (discarnates).The reported experience of initiating mental communication with the deceased, may involve a state of consciousness similar to that achieved in contemplative ceiling fan with 18 inch dow

We investigated structure optimization, mechanical stability, electronic and bonding properties of the nanolaminate compounds Ti2PbC, Zr2PbC, and Hf2PbC using the first-principles calculations.These structures display nanolaminated edifices where MC layers are interleaved with Pb.The calculation of formation energies, elastic moduli and phonons rev
