TL;DR: It is found that vegetation type characterized by a more complex structure and by the absence of management had a higher capacity to provide the ecosystems services of air purification and climate regulation in urban green spaces, in particular the case of urban parks.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the corrosion resistance of two novel alloys developed for aircraft industry (AA2198-T851 and 7081-T73511) to that presented by the alternative base alloys (AA2524-T3 and 7050-T 7451, respectively).

TL;DR: In this paper, different thin films were prepared with small structural differences to help understand how the amines structure influences the membranes nanofiltration performance, surface charge and morphology, and the average water permeability of the samples was correlated with hydrophobic/hydrophilic character of the monomers by use of the octanol-water partition coefficient.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Givental formula for the ancestor formal Gromov-Witten potential with a version of the topological recursion procedure for a collection of isolated local germs of the spectral curve was identified.
Abstract: We identify the Givental formula for the ancestor formal Gromov–Witten potential with a version of the topological recursion procedure for a collection of isolated local germs of the spectral curve. As an application we prove a conjecture of Norbury and Scott on the reconstruction of the stationary sector of the Gromov–Witten potential of \({\mathbb{C}{\rm P}^1}\) via a particular spectral curve.

TL;DR: Although the antibiotic pipeline is still lackluster, especially of new classes and novel mechanisms of action, in the post-genomic era, there is an increasingly large set of information available on microbial metabolism, which will result in the discovery of new and better therapeutics, which can sway the war on infectious diseases back in the authors' favor.
Abstract: Given the increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria, alongside the alarmingly low rate of newly approved antibiotics for clinical usage, we are on the verge of not having effective treatments for many common infectious diseases. Historically, antibiotic discovery has been crucial in outpacing resistance and success is closely related to systematic procedures—platforms—that have catalyzed the antibiotic golden age, namely the Waksman platform, followed by the platforms of semi-synthesis and fully synthetic antibiotics. Said platforms resulted in the major antibiotic classes: aminoglycosides, amphenicols, ansamycins, beta-lactams, lipopeptides, diaminopyrimidines, fosfomycins, imidazoles, macrolides, oxazolidinones, streptogramins, polymyxins, sulphonamides, glycopeptides, quinolones and tetracyclines. During the genomics era came the target-based platform, mostly considered a failure due to limitations in translating drugs to the clinic. Therefore, cell-based platforms were re-instituted, and are still of the utmost importance in the fight against infectious diseases. Although the antibiotic pipeline is still lackluster, especially of new classes and novel mechanisms of action, in the post-genomic era, there is an increasingly large set of information available on microbial metabolism. The translation of such knowledge into novel platforms will hopefully result in the discovery of new and better therapeutics, which can sway the war on infectious diseases back in our favor.
