TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical composition of the extracts of Andryala glandulosa spp. and their antioxidant capacity were established; the presence of potentially harmful lactones, so commonly associated with related species used for the same purposes was also evaluated.

TL;DR: It was found that the cone conformer of the title calixarene derivative forms stable complexes with all phenols of the p-substituted series, and the free enthalpy changes show very high complex stability of cone calixrene with p-nitro and p-chloro-subStituted phenols.
Abstract: Considering the importance of the polarizability of the rings of calixarenes in the entropy-driven interaction processes, we examined the effect of entropy compensation on the complex formation of ...

TL;DR: The Fe3O4@SiO2-C18 NPs-based sorbent extraction combined with GC-qMS revealed that the new nanosorbent had a strong ability to retain the target metabolites providing a new, reliable and high throughput strategy for isolation of targeted EVOMs in human urine, suggesting their potential to be applied in otherEVOMs.

25 Aug 2013TL;DR: An explorative study that evaluates narrowcasting as an approach to sharing in online social media, test a narrowcasting prototype for Facebook with 54 participants over a four-week period, and outlines the various strategies that participants used to appropriate narrowcasting.
Abstract: Narrowcasting refers to the targeted segmentation of media dissemination, and has been proposed as a counterpart to broadcasting. We present an explorative study that evaluates narrowcasting as an approach to sharing in online social media. We test a narrowcasting prototype for Facebook with 54 participants over a four-week period. We outline the various strategies that participants used to appropriate narrowcasting, and report on participants' use and perceptions. We also report on the effects of default sharing options and gender on sharing behavior. Our work provides implications for online sharing, suggesting that narrowcasting is an effective strategy for online social platforms.

TL;DR: Ch Chromosomal and restriction‐map variation of the rp49 region in D. guanche and D. madeirensis clearly indicate that the Canary Islands underwent at least two colonization events from the nearby continent.
Abstract: Nucleotide variation at the nuclear ribosomal protein 49 (rp49) gene region has been analysed by fine restriction mapping in a sample of 47 lines from a population from Madeira. Five restriction-site (out of 37 sites scored) and 3 length polymorphisms have been detected, resulting in 14 different haplotypes. This population shows less variation than both continental and Canary Island populations. The population from Madeira shows some differentiation from mainland populations, which does not favor the idea of extensive migration between the continent and Madeira. Chromosomal and restriction-map variation of the rp49 region in D. subobscura populations, together with data on sequence comparison of this nuclear region in D. guanche and D. madeirensis clearly indicate that the Canary Islands underwent at least two colonization events from the nearby continent. Although the data for Madeira are compatible with a single colonization event by a continental sample polymorphic for gene arrangements O3 and O3 + 4, an alternative scenario with at least two colonization events seems more likely.
