BACKGROUND: The optimal range of sodium intake for cardiovascular health is controversial. METHODS: We obtained morning fasting urine samples from 101,945 persons in 17 countries and estimated 24-hour sodium and potassium excretion (used as a surrogate for intake). We examined the association betwee...

Abstract Cesium tin chloride (CsSnCl 3 ) is a potential and competitive absorber material for lead-free perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The full potential of CsSnCl 3 not yet been realized owing to the possible challenges of defect-free device fabrication, non-optimized alignment of the electron tran...

Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) is the major receptor for high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (HDL-C). In humans, high amounts of HDL-C in plasma are associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Mice that have depleted Scarb1 (SR-BI knockout mice) have markedly elevated HDL-C l...

To dissect the genetic architecture of blood pressure and assess effects on target organ damage, we analyzed 128,272 SNPs from targeted and genome-wide arrays in 201,529 individuals of European ancestry, and genotypes from an additional 140,886 individuals were used for validation. We identified 66 ...

Today East Asia harbors many "relict" plant species whose ranges were much larger during the Paleogene-Neogene and earlier. The ecological and climatic conditions suitable for these relict species have not been identified. Here, we map the abundance and distribution patterns of relict species, showi...

The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of cesium lead halide (CsPbX3, X = l, Br, and Cl)-based all-inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is still struggling to compete with conventional organic–inorganic halide perovskites. A combined material and device-related analysis is much needed to understan...

Most popular vegetables and fruits and their corresponding soil from the sub-urban industrial area of Bangladesh were collected and the concentration of carcinogenic (Pb, As, and Cd) and non-carcinogenic (Fe, Co, V, Cu, Cr, Zn, Mn, and Ni) heavy metals was determined. Health risk was evaluated by es...

Coccinia indica leaves were extracted with 60% ethanol, solvents were evaporated and the residue was suspended in water. This suspension was administered orally at a dose of 200 mg/kg body wt. after 18 h of fasting to normal fed and streptozotocin-induced male diabetic rats (180-250 g). After 90 min...

Cs3Bi2I9 as a solar absorber material is a strong contender for lead-free perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The presence of bismuth (Bi) in Cs3Bi2I9 leads to the origin of interesting optoelectronic properties along with a suitable optical band gap and high absorption coefficient. However, further anal...

In the present work, device modeling of tungsten disulfide-based thin-film solar cell with copper iodide as hole transport layer has been performed using the Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator in One Dimension software program (SCAPS-1D). The SCAPS-1D simulator is also utilized to investigate the phot...

Abstract Although nucleotides ( NT ) have long been implicated as feed attractants in both vertebrate and invertebrate species, research into potential growth and health benefits of dietary NT in aquaculture species has just been implemented in early 2000s. To date, research pertaining to NT supplem...

Abstract The gene numbers and evolutionary rates of birds were assumed to be much lower than those of mammals, which is in sharp contrast to the huge species number and morphological diversity of birds. It is, therefore, necessary to construct a complete avian genome and analyze its evolution. We co...
