The anomalous state of Uranus's magnetosphere during the Voyager 2 flyby.

The Voyager 2 flyby of Uranus in 1986 revealed an unusually oblique and off-centred magnetic field. This single in situ measurement has been the basis of our interpretation of Uranus's magnetosphere as the canonical extreme magnetosphere of the solar system; with inexplicably intense electron radiation belts and a severely plasma-depleted magnetosphere. However, the role of external forcing by the solar wind has rarely been considered in explaining these observations.

Preparation and characterisation of novel foamed porous glass-ceramics on the basis of bioglass 45S5.

This study determines the possibilities of synthesis of porous glass-ceramic materials based on Bioglass 45S5 using different methods obtained porous materials. In this work used foaming with sintering method for the set: bioglass 45S5 + glass cullet (CRT) + glass water (WG) and method sintering with forming-pore agents for the: bioglass + glass water (WG) + dried banana peels. The sets were melting and the next step sintering process.

Discovery of New 3-(Benzo[]Thiophen-2-yl)Pyrrolidine-2,5-Dione Derivatives as Potent Antiseizure and Antinociceptive Agents-In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation.

: To address the unmet clinical needs in the treatment of epilepsy and pain, the continued development of more effective and safer anticonvulsants and analgesics is still necessary. Therefore, herein we report synthesis and antiseizure/antinociceptive evaluation of a focused series of 3-(benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)pyrrolidine-2,5-dione derivatives. : The anticonvulsant properties were investigated in acute models of seizures, namely the maximal electroshock (MES), the 6 Hz (32 mA), and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) seizure models, whereas analgesic activity was tested in the model of a tonic pain/formalin test and oxaliplatin-induced neuropathic pain (in CD-1-mice, i.

Size dependent uptake and trophic transfer of polystyrene microplastics in unicellular freshwater eukaryotes.

Microplastics (MP) have become a well-known and widely investigated environmental pollutant. Despite the huge amount of new studies investigating the potential threat posed by MP, the possible uptake and trophic transfer in lower trophic levels of freshwater ecosystems remains understudied. This study aims to investigate the internalization and potential trophic transfer of fluorescent polystyrene (PS) beads (0.
