Leadership in Architectural Research: Between Academia and the Profession
Recent decades have witnessed a notable expansion of architectural research activities, with respect to both subject and methodology.This expansion can be mostly credited to an increase in government and private funding of primarily academic research initiatives.More recently, however, a noticeable increase in research activities Cushion within the
Clinical efficacy and safety in head lice infection by Pediculus humanis capitis De Geer (Anoplura: Pediculidae) of a capillary spray containing a silicon-oil complex*
Head lice are endemic worldwide.Resistance to permethrin and doubts about the safety of pesticides promoted the use of physical therapies (wet-combing, dry-on suffocation).The aim of our study was to test the pediculicidal and ovicidal effects of one application of a silicon-oil complex composed of dimethiconol and castor oil.The study was a prospe
Beyond stomatal development: SMF transcription factors as versatile toolkits for land plant evolution
As master transcription factors of stomatal development, SPEECHLESS, MUTE, and FAMA, collectively termed SMFs, are primary targets of molecular genetic analyses in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.Studies in other model systems identified SMF orthologs as key players in evolutionary developmental biology studies on stomata.However, recent studi
