A mutant MT of Micrococcus lysodeikticus (luteus) IFO 3333, whose minimum growing unit is not a single cell, but a tetrad unlike the wild-type divides by binary fission of each monococcus, and then separates first into two daughter tetrads, second into four tetrads and third into eight tetrads. The three planes of either the cell division or the cell separation are equivalent to one another and oriented at right angles in three dimensions, respectively. The process of consecutive cell divisions and separations of the mutant tetrads was schematically illustrated.

This study proposes a simple and cost-effective approach to enhance the performance of supercapacitors based on laser-induced graphene (LIG). The use of two consecutive laser passes using the same CO engraver on polyimide film led to the expansion in the size of the pores, the increase in the graphitization degree, and the densification of the produced material. These changes in the morphology and chemical structure of the LIG impacted positively its electrochemical performance when it was used as an electrode for supercapacitors.

Background: Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) can be an effective treatment for highly selected patients with severe emphysema but only half of carefully selected patients derive clinical benefit. Two commercially available platforms exist to help determine candidacy for BLVR via quantitative analysis of computed tomography (CT) scans.
Objectives: To determine if the two commercially available quantitative platforms identified the same patient population that may benefit from BLVR.

Exam protocoling is a significant non-interpretive task burden for radiologists. The purpose of this work was to develop a natural language processing (NLP) artificial intelligence (AI) solution for automated protocoling of standard abdomen and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams from basic associated order information and patient metadata. This Institutional Review Board exempt retrospective study used de-identified metadata from consecutive adult abdominal and pelvic MRI scans performed at our institution spanning 2.

A growing body of literature has confirmed the within-person process from interpersonal conflict to adolescent mood on a day-to-day timescale. However, research on how, when and for whom adolescent interpersonal conflict relates to their daily mood is underdeveloped. This study examined whether interpersonal conflict is related to mood through threat appraisal and self-blaming attribution and whether these relationships would be moderated by daily social support and psychological capital.

An imaging biomarker that more strongly correlates with post-EVT functional outcome would be helpful for clinical prognosis and serve as a surrogate outcome measure in trials of EVT-adjuvant therapies. Here, we aimed to validate a novel MRI-based metric, infarct density, which leverages post-EVT apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) as a marker of infarct severity.
