TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that GO dispersions exhibit unique viscoelastic properties, making them a new class of soft materials, and the fundamental insights accrued here provided the basis for the development of fabrication protocols for these two-dimensional soft materials.
Abstract: Here, we show that graphene oxide (GO) dispersions exhibit unique viscoelastic properties, making them a new class of soft materials. The fundamental insights accrued here provide the basis for the development of fabrication protocols for these two-dimensional soft materials, in a diverse array of processing techniques.

TL;DR: Overall, the findings suggest that mixed forests are more resistant to natural disturbances that are relatively small-scale and selective in their effect, however, benefits provided by mixtures are less evident for larger-scale disturbances.
Abstract: Forests are frequently exposed to natural disturbances, which are likely to increase with global change, and may jeopardize the delivery of ecosystem services. Mixed-species forests have often been shown to be more productive than monocultures, but it is unclear whether this results from mixed stands being in part more resistant to various biotic and abiotic disturbance factors. This review investigates the relationships between tree diversity and stand resistance to natural disturbances and explores the ecological mechanisms behind the observed relationships. Mixed forests appear to be more resistant than monocultures to small mammalian herbivores, soil-borne fungal diseases and specialized insect herbivores. Admixing broadleaves to conifers also increases the resistance to fire and windstorms when compared to pure conifer stands. However, mixed forests may be more affected by drought depending on the species in the mixture. Overall, our findings suggest that mixed forests are more resistant to natural disturbances that are relatively small-scale and selective in their effect. However, benefits provided by mixtures are less evident for larger-scale disturbances. Higher tree diversity translates into increased resistance to disturbances as a result of ecological trait complementarity among species, reduction of fuel and food resources for herbivores, enhancement of diversion or disruption processes, and multi-trophic interactions such as predation or symbiosis. To promote resistance, the selection of tree species with different functional characteristics appears more important than increasing only the number of species in the stand. Trees with different levels of susceptibility to different hazards should be intermixed in order to reduce the amount of exposed resources and to generate barriers against contagion. However, more research is needed to further improve associational resistance in mixed forests, through a better understanding of the most relevant spatial and temporal scales of species interactions and to optimize the overall provision of ecosystem services.

TL;DR: By this method it was possible to detect, in the same sample and at the same time, intact cells, cells undergoing apoptosis, and dead cells resulting from apoptotic and/or necrotic processes.
Abstract: A flow cytometric method to detect apoptotic cells is described. This method is based on the detection of differences in chromatin condensation with Hoechst 33342 as a probe and the detection of dead cells with propidium iodide as a probe for membrane damage. By this method it was possible to detect, in the same sample and at the same time, intact cells, cells undergoing apoptosis, and dead cells resulting from apoptotic and/or necrotic processes. The method was successfully applied to the detection of apoptotic cells in two human cell models: cultured polymorphonuclear cells and the U937 cell line treated with antitumoral drugs. Staining specificity for apoptotic cells was controlled by cell sorting of the presumed apoptotic population, followed by morphologic examination or DNA analysis of the sorted populations. The usefulness of such a method is discussed in terms of applications in the analysis of heterogeneous clinical samples, populations with low DNA degradation during apoptosis, and cell cycle position of the apoptotic cells.

TL;DR: Femtosecond pump-probe experiments performed in the low-perturbation regime demonstrate a strong increase of the intrinsic electron-phonon interaction for nanoparticles smaller than 10 nm due to a confinement effect.
Abstract: Electron-lattice energy exchanges are investigated in gold and silver nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 30 to 2.2 nm embedded in different environments. Femtosecond pump-probe experiments performed in the low-perturbation regime demonstrate a strong increase of the intrinsic electron-phonon interaction for nanoparticles smaller than 10 nm due to a confinement effect.
