TL;DR: In this article, aniline degradation in acidic medium of pH≈3 under photocatalytic and electrochemical conditions has been investigated, and the role of Fe(II) ions and H 2 O 2 has been made.
Abstract: The aniline degradation in acidic medium of pH≈3 under photocatalytic and electrochemical conditions has been investigated. The efficiency for substrate mineralization in each process has been comparatively analysed by the decrease in TOC of aniline solutions. Particular emphasis has been made on the role of Fe(II) ions and H 2 O 2 . The electrochemical experiments performed in the presence of both species (electro-Fenton conditions) leads to a fast aniline mineralization, which is notably increased by UVA irradiation (photoelectro-Fenton process). In photocatalysis with TiO 2 suspensions, the presence of H 2 O 2 and Fe(II) ions in solution notably increases the aniline degradation rate at the initial stages of the process, whereas the opposite effect occurs at long irradiation times. Benzoquinone, hydroquinone, nitrobenzene, phenol and 1,2,4-benzenetriol were detected as intermediates by HPLC in both, electrochemical and photocatalytic experiments. Short chain aliphatic acids, such as maleic and fumaric acids, were only found in the electrochemical experiments. Ammonium ions (75–80% of initial nitrogen) were generated in all solutions tested. A general reaction pathway that accounts for aniline mineralization to CO 2 involving those products is proposed.

TL;DR: It is shown that synaptic genes are exceptionally well conserved and less tolerant to mutations than other genes, and among de novo variants associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, including schizophrenia.

TL;DR: This review presents the main pro- and anti-apoptotic mechanisms regulated by MAPKs, as well as the crosstalk observed between some MAPKS, and describes the basic signaling properties ofMAPKs (ultrasensitivity, hysteresis, digital response), and the presence of different positive feedback loops in apoptosis.
Abstract: MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) signaling pathways regulate a variety of biological processes through multiple cellular mechanisms. In most of these processes, such as apoptosis, MAPKs have a dual role since they can act as activators or inhibitors, depending on the cell type and the stimulus. In this review, we present the main pro- and anti-apoptotic mechanisms regulated by MAPKs, as well as the crosstalk observed between some MAPKs. We also describe the basic signaling properties of MAPKs (ultrasensitivity, hysteresis, digital response), and the presence of different positive feedback loops in apoptosis. We provide a simple guide to predict MAPKs’ behavior, based on the intensity and duration of the stimulus. Finally, we consider the role of MAPKs in osmostress-induced apoptosis by using Xenopus oocytes as a cell model. As we will see, apoptosis is plagued with multiple positive feedback loops. We hope this review will help to understand how MAPK signaling pathways engage irreversible cellular decisions.

TL;DR: The authors identify the top-ten unresolved questions in the field and find that most questions relate to the precise role blue carbon can play in mitigating climate change and the most effective management actions in maximising this.
Abstract: The term Blue Carbon (BC) was first coined a decade ago to describe the disproportionately large contribution of coastal vegetated ecosystems to global carbon sequestration. The role of BC in climate change mitigation and adaptation has now reached international prominence. To help prioritise future research, we assembled leading experts in the field to agree upon the top-ten pending questions in BC science. Understanding how climate change affects carbon accumulation in mature BC ecosystems and during their restoration was a high priority. Controversial questions included the role of carbonate and macroalgae in BC cycling, and the degree to which greenhouse gases are released following disturbance of BC ecosystems. Scientists seek improved precision of the extent of BC ecosystems; techniques to determine BC provenance; understanding of the factors that influence sequestration in BC ecosystems, with the corresponding value of BC; and the management actions that are effective in enhancing this value. Overall this overview provides a comprehensive road map for the coming decades on future research in BC science.

TL;DR: In this article, a structural equation model supported by Krueger & Brazeal's Model was tested with different groups of students and found that most university students consider it desirable to create a new firm, although the perception of feasibility is not positive.
Abstract: There is general agreement that attitudes towards entrepreneurship are determinant factors to decide to be an entrepreneur. In this context, this research is focused on analyzing the relationship between desirability and feasibility on university student’s intentions to create a new firm in Catalonia. A structural equation model supported by Krueger & Brazeal’s Model was tested with different groups of students. The main results reveal most of university students consider desirable to create a new firm, although the perception of feasibility is not positive. Also, there is a statistical significant and positively relationship between credibility and the intention to create a new firm.
