This study is the first modeling exercise to assess the impacts of climate change on the current and future global distribution of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). Bt is a common Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium widely distributed in various environments, including soil and water. It is widely recognized as a source of effective and safe agricultural biopesticides for pest management in various climatic regions globally.

At cryogenic temperatures, the photoluminescence spectrum of CdSe nanoplatelets (NPLs) usually consists of multiple emission lines, the origin of which is still under debate. While there seems to be consensus that both neutral excitons and trions contribute to the NPL emission, the prominent role of trions is rather puzzling. In this work, we demonstrate that Förster resonant energy transfer in stacks of NPLs combined with hole trap states in specific NPLs within the stack trigger trion formation, while single NPL spectra are dominated by neutral excitonic emission.

Article Synopsis
  • CABG surgery helps improve blood flow to the heart, but patients often struggle with recovery, influenced by factors like self-efficacy and depression.
  • This study compared the effects of telephone and WhatsApp follow-up interventions on self-efficacy and depression among CABG patients in a randomized controlled trial involving 99 participants.
  • Results showed significant benefits from both follow-up methods, with WhatsApp showing greater improvements in self-efficacy and depression compared to telephone follow-ups, offering insights for better patient care.

Background And Objective: The HEART pathway serves as a tool for predicting major adverse cardiac events (MACE) among patients presenting with acute chest pain, aiding in early discharge of low-risk patients and reducing unnecessary cardiac investigations. This study aimed to evaluate physician-nurse reliability of the HEART pathway. Moreover investigates the efficacy of HEART pathway to predict 3-month MACE in patients with acute chest pain.
