This study was carried out to assess the carbon budget of local governments in South Korea.The carbon budget was obtained from the difference between net ecosystem productivity (NEP) that the natural ecosystem displays, and carbon dioxide emissions calculated from energy consumption in each local government.NEP was obtained from the difference betw
Migration of human plasmablast to the bone marrow is essential for the final differentiation of plasma cells and maintenance of effective humoral Briefs immunity.This migration is controlled by CXCL12/CXCR4-mediated activation of the protein kinase AKT.Herein, we show that the CXCL12-induced migration of human plasmablasts is dependent on glucose o
Concurrent macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel) and branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) have not been described before and can pose a diagnostic dilemma.The current report highlights the role of multicolour (MC) imaging and blue reflectance (BR) beeswax wrap imaging in diagnosing this multi-pathology.A 60-year-old male presented with diminution
Abstract This paper analyses the determinants of firm participation in the Swiss COVID-19 loan programme, which aims to bridge firms’ liquidity shortfalls that have resulted from the pandemic.State-guaranteed COVID-19 loans are widely used by Swiss firms, with 20% of all firms participating, resulting in a sizeable programme of 2.4% of GDP.We use
Five pairs of alkaloid enantiomers (1a/1b−5a/5b) were obtained Personal Protection from Isatis indigotica (I.indigotica) roots.Among them, 1a/1b, 2a/2b and 3a/3b were determined as three pairs of new alkaloid enantiomers.Their structures were elucidated by physicochemical properties and spectroscopic methods.The absolute configurations were d
