Elucidating severe urban haze formation in China
- S. Guo, M. Hu, +9 authors R. Zhang
- Geography, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 24 November 2014
Significance We illustrate the similarity and difference in particulate matter (PM) formation between Beijing and other world regions. The periodic cycle of PM events in Beijing is regulated by… Expand
Occurrence of brominated flame retardants (BFRs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in agricultural soils in a BFR-manufacturing region of North China.
- Zhicheng Zhu, S. Chen, +4 authors B. Mai
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- The Science of the total environment
- 15 May 2014
We investigated the occurrence of brominated flame retardants (BFRs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the surface soils from the largest BFR-manufacturing… Expand
Markedly enhanced absorption and direct radiative forcing of black carbon under polluted urban environments
- Jianfei Peng, M. Hu, +13 authors R. Zhang
- Geography, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 28 March 2016
Significance Although black carbon (BC) represents a key short-lived climate forcer, its direct radiative forcing remains highly uncertain. The available results from available studies of absorption… Expand
Levels and sources of brominated flame retardants in human hair from urban, e-waste, and rural areas in South China.
- J. Zheng, Xiaojun Luo, +5 authors Zhong-Yi Yang
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Environmental pollution
- 1 December 2011
Human hair and indoor dust from urban, e-waste, and rural areas in south China were collected and analyzed for brominated flame retardants (BFRs). BFRs concentrations in hair from occupational… Expand
Prestin-Based Outer Hair Cell Motility Is Necessary for Mammalian Cochlear Amplification
It is a central tenet of cochlear neurobiology that mammalian ears rely on a local, mechanical amplification process for their high sensitivity and sharp frequency selectivity. While it is generally… Expand
Requirement of TORC1 for Late-Phase Long-Term Potentiation in the Hippocampus
Late-phase long-term potentiation (L-LTP) and long-term memory depend on the transcription of mRNA of CRE-driven genes and synthesis of proteins. However, how synaptic signals propagate to the… Expand
Thuricin CD, a posttranslationally modified bacteriocin with a narrow spectrum of activity against Clostridium difficile
- M. C. Rea, C. S. Sit, +6 authors C. Hill
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 30 April 2010
The last decade has seen numerous outbreaks of Clostridium difficile-associated disease (CDAD), which presented significant challenges for healthcare facilities worldwide. We have identified and… Expand
The C-terminus of prestin influences nonlinear capacitance and plasma membrane targeting
Prestin is a unique molecular-motor protein expressed in the lateral plasma membrane of outer hair cells (OHC) in the organ of Corti of the mammalian cochlea. It is thought that prestin undergoes… Expand
The relationship between patient safety culture and adverse events: a questionnaire survey.
BACKGROUND
Patient safety culture is an important factor in the effort to reduce adverse events in the hospital and improve patient safety. A few studies have shown the relationship between patient… Expand
Effects of cyclic nucleotides on the function of prestin
- Levente Deák, J. Zheng, +4 authors P. Dallos
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of physiology
- 1 March 2005
Outer hair cells (OHCs) in the mammalian organ of Corti display electromotility, which is thought to provide the local active mechanical amplification of the cochlear response. Prestin is the key… Expand
