Growing the Rhinophorid Tree: Three New Species and Their Phylogenetic Implications (Diptera: Rhinophoridae).

Insects

Dipartimento di Biologia e Biotecnologie "Charles Darwin", Sapienza Università di Roma, Piazzale A. Moro 5, 00185 Rome, Italy.

Published: November 2020

Three new species of Rhinophoridae (, from the Oriental Region, and from the Afrotropical Region) are described, illustrated and compared with congeners. Genus-level affiliation of the new species is based on a morphology-based phylogeny, preliminarily accepting a paraphyletic Robineau-Desvoidy awaiting incorporation of molecular data. Keys to the species of the genus Pape & Shima as well as to the Afrotropical species of the genus Robineau-Desvoidy are given.

A crude oil aggregation-forming, strictly anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive, spore-forming, rod-shaped, motile and mesophilic bacterium, named strain SH18-2, was isolated from marine sediment near Sado Island in the Sea of Japan. The temperature, salinity and pH ranges of this strain for the growth were 15-40 °C (optimum 35 °C), 0.5-6.

Increased entropy is a common cause of disease and aging. Lifespan entropy is the overall increase in disorder caused by a person over their lifetime. Aging leads to the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which damage the antioxidant system and disrupt redox balance.

Atomically precise nanoclusters (NCs) can serve as an excellent platform for a comprehensive understanding of structure-property relationships. Herein, three structurally similar Cu NCs (Cu-1, Cu-2 and Cu-3) have been prepared for the photocatalytic phenylacetylene self-coupling reaction. It was found that Cu-1 NC achieved the highest turnover number (TON) of 524.

A High-Efficiency Autocatalysis-Oriented Cascade Circuit via Reciprocal Hug-Amplification for Assay-to-Treat Application.

Anal Chem

Key Laboratory of Luminescence Analysis and Molecular Sensing (Southwest University), Ministry of Education; Chongqing Engineering Laboratory of Nanomaterials & Sensor Technologies; School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Southwest University, Chongqing 400715, PR China.

Developing a DNA autocatalysis-oriented cascade circuit (AOCC) via reciprocal navigation of two enzyme-free hug-amplifiers might be desirable for constructing a rapid, efficient, and sensitive assay-to-treat platform. In response to a specific trigger (), seven functional DNA hairpins were designed to execute three-branched assembly (TBA) and three isotropic hybridization chain reaction (3HCR) events for operating the AOCC. This was because three new inducers were reconstructed in TBA arms to initiate 3HCR (TBA-to-3HCR) and periodic repeats were resultantly reassembled in the tandem nicks of polymeric nanowires to rapidly activate TBA in the opposite direction (3HCR-to-TBA) without steric hindrance, thereby cooperatively manipulating sustainable AOCC progress for exponential hug-amplification (1:3).

Targeting Ru(III) and Ru(I) η2-alkyne species, 2,2'-(iPr2E)2-substituted diphenylacetylenes (1-E, E = P, As) were em-ployed for the pre-paration of [ECCE]-coordinated ruthenium com-plexes. The re-actions between 1-E and cis-(MeCN)2(COD)RuCl2 led to the required Ru(II) starting materials cis-[ECCE]RuCl2(MeCN) (3-E). Upon oxi-dation of 3-E with PhICl2, the Ru(III) target com-plexes [ECCE]RuCl3 (7-E) were detectable for E = P and E = As, but only the arsa-deriva-tive 7-As was obtained in a pure form, namely via oxi-da-tion of cis-[AsCCAs]RuCl2(THT) (THT = tetrahydrothiophene).
