A Form of Non-Volatile Solid-like Hexadecane Found in Micron-Scale Silica Microtubule.

Anomalous solid-like liquids at the solid-liquid interface have been recently reported. The mechanistic factors contributing to these anomalous liquids and whether they can stably exist at high vacuum are interesting, yet unexplored, questions. In this paper, thin slices of silica tubes soaked in hexadecane were observed under a transmission electron microscope at room temperature.

The first mitogenome of Lesser Whitethroat, Ticehurst & Whistler, 1933 (Passeriformes: Sylviidae) and its phylogenetic implications for the genus .

The complete mitogenome of the Lesser Whitethroat, Ticehurst & Whistler, 1933 was determined, which belongs to Sylviidae, Passeriformes. The mitogenome had a length of 17,959 bp and consisted of 37 genes including 13 PCGs, 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNA) genes, and 22 transfer RNAs (tRNA) genes. In addition, two control regions (CRs) were also existed in the mitogenome, with Sylvioidea typcial gene arrangement of cytb-trnT-CR1-trnP-nad6-trnE-CR2-trnF-rrnS.
