BIOGEOGRAPHIC PATTERNS IN MEMBERS OF GLOBALLY DISTRIBUTED AND DOMINANT TAXA FOUND IN PORT MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES

Biogeographic Patterns in Members of Globally Distributed and Dominant Taxa Found in Port Microbial Communities

ABSTRACT We conducted a global characterization of the microbial communities of shipping ports to serve as a novel system to investigate microbial biogeography.The community structures of port microbes from marine and freshwater habitats house relatively similar phyla, despite spanning large spatial scales.As part of this project, we collected 1,21

Congenital giant cardiac tumor with severe left-ventricular inflow and outflow obstruction and arrhythmia treated with pulmonary artery banding and long-term amiodarone infusion

We report a congenital giant cardiac tumor Liquid Candles that occupied the majority of left ventricular cavity with severe left ventricular inflow and outflow obstruction.The hemodynamics were similar to univentricular physiology.He was treated with prostaglandins and bilateral pulmonary artery banding.He had frequent supraventricular tachycardia

Highly Stable White Light-Emitting Diodes Based on Quantum-Dots Dispersed Into the Backlight Lens for Display Backlight

A novel package structure has been developed to fabricate quantum-dot (QD) white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) by dispersing QDs into the backlight lens and integrating them with blue light-emitting diode to form white light.For this in-lens encapsulation structure, the luminous efficiency and lifetime of QD-WLEDs can reach 90 Runs lm/W and 1000 h,
