Two new indolizidine alkaloids, crepidatumines C (1) and D (2), together Short jeans femme with crepidine (3), isocrepidamine (4), and crepidamine (5) were isolated from the Dendrobium crepidatum Lindl.ex Paxt.X-ray diffraction experiments established the absolute configurations of known compounds 3 and 4.The planar structures and relative configur
World-volume effective theories of locally non-geometric branes
Abstract We study world-volume effective theories of five-branes in type II string theories.We determine the bosonic zero-modes of the NS5-brane, the Kaluza-Klein monopole, the exotic Q5-, R5-branes and a space-filling brane, by direct calculations within the formalism of double field theory Sleep Aid (DFT).We show that these zero-modes are Nambu-G
Chagas disease and systemic autoimmune diseases among Bolivian patients in Switzerland
BACKGROUND Chronic cardiomyopathy occurs in 20-40% of the patients with Enamel Flower Tea Cup Chagas disease.Autoimmune mechanisms may contribute to its pathogenesis.We diagnosed several cases of systemic autoimmune diseases among Bolivian migrants in Geneva with a high prevalence of Chagas disease.OBJECTIVES We tested the hypothesis of a clinical
Circular and L50-like leaderless enterocins share a common ABC-transporter immunity gene
Abstract Microbes live within complex communities of interacting populations, either free-living in waters and soils or symbionts of animals and plants.Their interactions include the production of antimicrobial peptides (bacteriocins) to antagonize competitors, and these producers must carry their own immunity gene for self-protection.Whether other
