Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter describes methods for studying the morphology of cell death and the criteria used in identifying apoptosis and necrosis. Electron microscopy provides the most reliable method for recognizing the two processes; in many cases, however, they can be identified confidently using light microscopy alone. The recognition of apoptosis and necrosis is based primarily on the distinctive changes that take place within the affected cells. However, when these two processes occur in vivo, they also differ in their distribution and in the tissue reactions that are associated with them. These latter features may be of subsidiary use in identification. Thus, apoptosis involves scattered individual cells in a tissue, whereas necrosis involves groups of adjoining cells. Necrosis is accompanied by an acute inflammatory response with exudation of neutrophil leukocytes and monocytes; this event is characteristically absent in apoptosis. The light microscopic recognition of apoptosis depends on the detection of discrete well-preserved apoptotic bodies. Although convoluted budding cells are sometimes observed in smears, they are rarely seen in paraffin sections of immersion-fixed tissue.

TL;DR: It is found that an integrative model has substantially higher explanatory power than traditional bivariate analyses and several surprising findings that conflict with classical models are revealed.
Abstract: How ecosystem productivity and species richness are interrelated is one of the most debated subjects in the history of ecology. Decades of intensive study have yet to discern the actual mechanisms behind observed global patterns. Here, by integrating the predictions from multiple theories into a single model and using data from 1,126 grassland plots spanning five continents, we detect the clear signals of numerous underlying mechanisms linking productivity and richness. We find that an integrative model has substantially higher explanatory power than traditional bivariate analyses. In addition, the specific results unveil several surprising findings that conflict with classical models. These include the isolation of a strong and consistent enhancement of productivity by richness, an effect in striking contrast with superficial data patterns. Also revealed is a consistent importance of competition across the full range of productivity values, in direct conflict with some (but not all) proposed models. The promotion of local richness by macroecological gradients in climatic favourability, generally seen as a competing hypothesis, is also found to be important in our analysis. The results demonstrate that an integrative modelling approach leads to a major advance in our ability to discern the underlying processes operating in ecological systems.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used room-temperature liquid metals as a reaction environment for the synthesis of oxide nanomaterials with low dimensionality, which can be used to create 2D materials that were previously inaccessible with preexisting methods.
Abstract: Two-dimensional (2D) oxides have a wide variety of applications in electronics and other technologies. However, many oxides are not easy to synthesize as 2D materials through conventional methods. We used nontoxic eutectic gallium-based alloys as a reaction solvent and co-alloyed desired metals into the melt. On the basis of thermodynamic considerations, we predicted the composition of the self-limiting interfacial oxide. We isolated the surface oxide as a 2D layer, either on substrates or in suspension. This enabled us to produce extremely thin subnanometer layers of HfO2, Al2O3, and Gd2O3. The liquid metal–based reaction route can be used to create 2D materials that were previously inaccessible with preexisting methods. The work introduces room-temperature liquid metals as a reaction environment for the synthesis of oxide nanomaterials with low dimensionality.

TL;DR: The work in this paper highlights a suggested framework for strategic and balanced local government performance measurement and highlights the importance of a focus on both results and the means of achieving these results, which can be seen as a reflection of the fact that the focus in this system of local government has been on the results of council work and to a lesser extent on how the community views performance.
