Inelastic x-ray scattering experiments have been performed on incommensurately modulated Te-III at high pressure and reveal a pronounced phonon anomaly. The anomaly is reproduced in first-principles lattice dynamics calculations of unmodulated, body-centered monoclinic (bcm) Te, which is shown to be dynamically unstable. The calculated Fermi surface of bcm Te exhibits surprisingly effective nesting for a simple, electronically three-dimensional metal. The combined experimental and theoretical results corroborate recent proposals that the modulated crystal structure of Te-III and other chalcogens is the manifestation of a pressure-induced charge-density wave state.

Pre-immunization of diet-induced obese male mice with inactivated pathogens increases power in a liraglutide intervention study.

Pre-immunization with inactivated antigens has been developed as an alternative to the use of 'dirty' mice, which in contrast to specific pathogen free (SPF) mice, harbour a range of pathogens. Within certain research areas, such mice are considered better models for humans than SPF mice, as they have an immune system that better mirrors human immunity. We inactivated murine adenovirus type 1 (FL), minute virus of mice, mouse hepatitis virus (A59), respirovirus muris (Sendai), Theiler's encephalomyelitis virus (GD7) and by ultraviolet irradiation.

Prostatic adenocarcinomas with large cribriform glands/intraductal carcinoma (LC/IDC), or the recently proposed unfavorable histology, are associated with adverse outcomes after radical prostatectomy. However, Gleason pattern 4 carcinomas without LC/IDC (or unfavorable histology) have minimal risk for aggressive clinical behavior after prostatectomy. As proof-of-principle study, we collected a cohort of 485 radical prostatectomy specimens to assess correlations between different subtypes of Gleason pattern 4 disease and the presence of adjacent high-risk prostatic adenocarcinoma, defined as LC/IDC or unfavorable histology.

Lesions and pharmacological inactivation of the hippocampus have long been important tools for assessing the critical role of the hippocampus in learning and memory. Such studies often require a substantial investment of time and resources and, so, a tool for estimating lesion extent and screening animals prior to histological verification would be of considerable utility. Mice with bilateral hippocampal lesions have previously been observed to be deficient at nest building.

Charge density wave (CDW) is the phenomenon of a material that undergoes a spontaneous lattice distortion and modulation of the electron density. Typically, the formation of CDW is attributed to Fermi surface nesting or electron-phonon coupling, where the CDW vector (Q) corresponds to localized extreme points of electronic susceptibility or imaginary phonon frequencies. Here, we propose a new family of multiple CDW orders, including chiral Star-of-David configuration in nine 2D III-VI van der Waals materials, backed by first-principles calculations.

Accurate scientific information is critical for undertaking appropriate conservation and management practices for imperiled species. One source of concern is that research findings might vary for non-biological reasons, including experimental design and analytical methods. To illustrate, we provide detailed modern analysis of reproductive data for leatherback turtles ().
