TRIAL ASSAY FOR SAFE FIRST-AID PROTOCOL FOR THE STINGING SEA ANEMONE ANEMONIA VIRIDIS (CNIDARIA: ANTHOZOA) AND A SEVERE TOXIC REACTION

Trial Assay for Safe First-Aid Protocol for the Stinging Sea Anemone Anemonia viridis (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) and a Severe Toxic Reaction

Anemonia viridis is an abundant and widely distributed temperate sea anemone that can form dense congregations of individuals.Despite the potential severity of its sting, few detailed cases have been reported.We report a case of a severe toxic reaction following an Boxes A.viridis sting in a 35-year-old oceanographer.She developed severe pain, itch

Gene delivery to neurons in the auditory brainstem of barn owls using standard recombinant adeno-associated virus vectors

Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors are a commonly used tool for gene delivery.There is a large choice of different serotypes whose transduction efficiency varies for different animal species.In this study, three rAAV vectors were tested for transduction efficiency in the auditory brainstem of adult barn owls (Tyto alba) which are not

Highly Efficient Bifacial Silicon/Silicon Tandem Solar Cells

Silicon-based tandem solar cells with efficient use of the solar spectrum are desirable for a next generation-commercial photovoltaic system.It has been widely investigated elsewhere using perovskites or III-V cells as top cell materials for high efficiency and stability.However, perovskite and III-V top cells are still unsuitable for mass producti
