Toll-like receptors are part of the innate immune defense system of sponges (demospongiae: Porifera).

2006

During evolution and with the emergence of multicellular animals, the need arose to ward off foreign organisms that threaten the integrity of the animal body. Among many different receptors that participate in the recognition of microbial invaders, toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an essential role in mediating the innate immune response. After binding distinct microbial components, TLRs activate intracellular signaling cascades that result in an induced expression of diverse antimicrobial molecules. Because sponges (phylum Porifera) are filter feeders, they are abundantly exposed to microorganisms that represent a potential threat. Here, we describe the identification, cloning, and deduced …

Biaxial deformation and ductility domains for engineered rectangular RC cross-sections: A parametric study highlighting the positive roles of axial l…

2016

Abstract Axial load and biaxial bending strongly influence the deformation capacity of column cross-sections, in most cases causing a non-negligible loss of curvature and ductility with respect to the case of pure bending along principal axes, commonly assumed as the basic condition to assess the inelastic capacity. In consideration of this the paper investigates the biaxial deformation performance of RC rectangular cross-sections belonging to one-dimensional elements, focusing on the influence of some parameters as the cross-section aspect ratio and the distribution of the rebars, as well as the mechanical characteristics of concrete and steel and the impact of biaxial/axial stresses. In t…

Caracterisation of the mecanisms regulating membrane structuration modifications induced during defense response signalisation in plants

2020

Spatial distribution of pasma membranes (PM) components is tightly regulated to provide the cell an optimal physiological state. The level of order degree is a suitable parameter to study PM organization, reflecting the intensity of interactions taking place between PM components and so the level of their packing. During our work, we used the environment sensitive probe di-4-ANEPPDHQ to assess the level of order degree of tobacco BY-2 cells PM in different situations: during the time-course of cell regeneration and in the particular case of an elicitation by cryptogein.We measured that the level of order degree of PM is modulated during the slow process of cell regeneration. This regulation…

Synthesis, Chirality, and Magnetic Properties of Bimetallic Cyanide-Bridged Two-Dimensional Ferromagnets

2006

The assembly of hexacyanoferrate(III) anions and nickel(II) bis-diamino complexes of the chiral ligand trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine (trans-chxn) yields cyanide-bridged two-dimensional ferromagnets of the general formula [Ni(trans-chxn)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2‚2H2O. Their crystal structure is built from cyanide-bridged bimetallic planes separated by the bulky chxn ligands, giving rise to a large interlayer distance ( d ) 11.7 A). These materials order ferromagnetically at the Curie temperature TC ) 14 K. AC susceptibility measurements evidence an unusual magnetic behavior below TC, with a marked frequency dependence. A thorough magnetic analysis demonstrates that this complex behavior is due to the pi…

DOMAIN AND MOLECULAR SUPERLATTICE STRUCTURE OF DODECANETHIOL SELF-ASSEMBLED ON AU(111)

1994

Annealed organic monolayers of dodecanethiol (CH3(CH2)11SH) self-assembled on Au(111) have been investigated by scanning tunnelling microscopy. By using very high tunnelling resistances (TOMEGA) we find evidence of well-ordered molecular domains at room temperature and observe two different types of c(4 x 2) superlattice structures with the same rectangular unit cell. In contrast to theoretical calculations each unit cell contains four inequivalent molecules. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed.

Prefatory RemarksWhen hypertext was made available on the Internet after 1994 it shaped the concepts of public domain and free access. The web server and browsing system that Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau designed, determined the future digital, editorial and cultural developments for traditional audiences and digital natives alike. They quickly became the generalized interface tools and thus contributed to today's editorial standards. As they helped to create this innovative environment called the Internet, they also helped to establish many standards such as URL, URI, HTTP HTML or XML, which provided interoperability amongst different platforms and allowed internationalization.Shake…
