TL;DR: This tutorial review focuses on the use of metal-based complexes for the direct amination of aryl halides with ammonia.
Abstract: The traditional homogeneous access to aromatic amine derivatives is a nucleophilic aromatic substitution of the corresponding aryl halides. The halogen atom is usually relatively inert to amination reaction unless it is activated by the presence of electron withdrawing groups. Consequently, there has been particular emphasis over the past decade on the synthesis of metal complexes that are active catalysts for the preparation of aromatic amines. This tutorial review focuses on the use of metal-based complexes for the direct amination of aryl halides with ammonia.

TL;DR: Whether atrophy of the EC evaluated by the quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method is correlated with the epileptogenicity of this structure in TLE is determined.
Abstract: Summary: Purpose: Several studies have demonstrated diminution in the volume of entorhinal cortex (EC) ipsilateral to the pathologic side in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). The relation between the degree of EC atrophy and the epileptogenicity of this structure has never been directly studied. The purpose of the study was to determine whether atrophy of the EC evaluated by the quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method is correlated with the epileptogenicity of this structure in TLE.
Methods: Intracerebral recordings (SEEG method) of seizures from 11 patients with mesial TLE were analyzed. Seizures were classified according to patterns of onset: pattern 1 was the emergence of a low-frequency, high-amplitude rhythmic spiking followed by a tonic discharge, and pattern 2 was the emergence of a tonic discharge in the mesial structures. A nonlinear measure of SEEG signal interdependencies was used to evaluate the functional couplings occurring between hippocampus (Hip) and EC at seizure onset. MRI volumetric analysis was performed by using a T1-weighted three-dimensional gradient-echo sequence in TLE patients and 12 healthy subjects.
Results: Significant interactions between Hip and Ec were quantified at seizure onset. The EC was found to be the leader structure in most of the pattern 2 seizures. Volumetric measurements of EC demonstrated an atrophy in 63% of patients ipsilateral to the epileptic side. A significant correlation between the strength of EC–Hip coupling and the degree of atrophy was found. In addition, in those patients that had a normal EC volume, the EC was never the leader structure in Ec–Hip coupling.
Conclusions: These results validate the potential role of volumetry to predict the epileptogenesis of the EC in patients with hippocampal sclerosis and MTLE.

TL;DR: A comparative analysis of these phenomena in mammals, amphibians and fish suggests a specific role of GH in the physiology of puberty, gametogenesis and fertility, and shows the original contribution made by studies on the fish model in this field of investigations.
Abstract: Interaction between growth and reproduction occurs in many vertebrates and is particularly obvious at certain stages of the life cycle in fish. Endocrine interactions between the gonadotropic axis and the somatotropic axis are described, the potential role of GH being emphasised. A comparative analysis of these phenomena in mammals, amphibians and fish, suggests a specific role of GH in the physiology of puberty, gametogenesis and fertility. It also shows the original contribution made by studies on the fish model in this field of investigations.

TL;DR: In this article, the importance of plant uptake and denitrification in litter for N retention in riparian buffers was investigated, showing that annual nitrogen retention in the vegetation and litter compartment is substantial, making up 13-99% of the total N mitigation.
Abstract: Plant uptake and denitrification are considered to be the most important processes responsible for N retention and mitigation in riparian buffers. In many riparian buffers, however, nutrients taken up by plants remain in the system only temporarily and may be gradually released by mineralization later. Still, plants increase the residence time of nutrients considerably by reducing their mobility. We investigated the importance of plant N uptake and N immobilization in litter for N retention in riparian buffers. Nitrogen uptake in vegetation and N dynamics in litter were measured over a two-year period in a range of forested and herbaceous riparian buffers along a climatic gradient in Europe, receiving different loadings of N-enriched groundwater. Plant production, nitrogen uptake, and N retention were significantly higher in the forested buffer sites compared to the herbaceous buffer sites. However, in herbaceous buffers, periodic harvesting of herbaceous biomass contributed considerably to the N retention. No relationship between lateral N loading and plant productivity or N uptake was observed; this indicated that plant growth was not N-limited. In the winter period, decaying leaf litter had a small but significant role in N retention in a majority of the riparian ecosystems studied. Moreover, no responses to the climatic gradient were found. Generally, we can state that annual N retention in the vegetation and litter compartment is substantial, making up 13–99% of the total N mitigation.
