During a check-up of a driver by a police patrol in the Czech Republic by means of a breath analyzer of Dräger Co. an alcohol blood level of 0.50 g/kg was assessed. Later the driver reported that before the test he used at 30- and 5-minute intervals the drug Stopangin spray. In the Institute of Forensic Medicine the authors made an experiment which revealed that 22 minutes after administration of the drug the apparatus gave a negative result. Agreement with these conclusions was expressed also by a representative of Dräger Co. and the results were published as an expert opinion with a recommended procedure for the police of the Czech Republic in the South Moravian region.

SHATTERPROOF 2 regulates TAA1 expression for the establishment of the gynoecium valve margins. Gynoecium development and patterning play a crucial role in determining the ultimate structure of the fruit and, thus, seed production. The MADS-box transcription factor SHATTERPROOF 2 (SHP2) contributes to valve margin differentiation and plays a major role in fruit dehiscence and seed dispersal.

Understanding the molecular mechanisms of pore formation is crucial for elucidating fundamental biological processes and developing therapeutic strategies, such as the design of drug delivery systems and antimicrobial agents. Although experimental methods can provide valuable information, they often lack the temporal and spatial resolution necessary to fully capture the dynamic stages of pore formation. In this study, we present two novel collective variables (CVs) designed to characterize membrane pore behavior, particularly its energetics, through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.

Dry skin is a common condition that is experienced by many. Besides being particularly present during the cold season, various diseases exist all year round, leading to localized xerosis. To prevent it, the skin is provided with natural moisturizing factors (NMFs).

Phase contrast imaging is well-suited for studying weakly scattering samples. Its strength lies in its ability to measure how the phase of the electron beam is affected by the sample, even when other imaging techniques yield low contrast. In this study, we explore via simulations two phase contrast techniques: integrated center of mass (iCOM) and ptychography, specifically using the extended ptychographical iterative engine (ePIE).

Somion occarium is a wood-decaying bracket fungus belonging to an order known to be rich in useful chemical compounds. Despite its widespread distribution, S. occarium has been assessed as endangered on at least one national Red List, presumably due to loss of old-growth forest habitat.
