A Golgi Apparatus-Targeting, Naphthalimide-Based Fluorescent Molecular Probe for the Selective Sensing of Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde (FA) is a colorless, flammable, foul-smelling chemical used in building materials and in the production of numerous household chemical goods.Herein, a fluorescent chemosensor for FA is designed and prepared using a selective organ-targeting probe containing naphthalimide as a fluorophore and hydrazine as a FA-binding site.The amine gro

Representation of motion concepts in occipitotemporal cortex: fMRI activation, decoding and connectivity analyses

Embodied theories of semantic cognition predict that brain regions involved in motion perception are engaged when people comprehend motion concepts expressed in language.Left lateral occipitotemporal cortex (LOTC) is implicated in both motion perception and motion concept processing but prior studies have produced mixed findings on which parts of t

When combining injunctive and descriptive norms strengthens the hypocrisy effect: A test in the field of discrimination

The induced-hypocrisy is a paradigm in which people promote a normative behavior (normative salience step) and then recall their past transgressions (transgression salience step).It Eyebrow Crayon is an effective two-step procedure for encouraging prosocial behaviors.This study aims to explore whether discrimination can be reduced using the hypocri

Effects of Dietary n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Selenomethionine on Meat Quality and Fatty Acid Composition in Finishing Pigs

The interaction between selenomethionine (SeMet) and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) in producing n-3 PUFA-enriched pork remains unknown.This study investigates the effect of different n-3 PUFA sources (linseed oil vs.fish oil) and SeMet supplementation on meat quality and fatty acid composition in finishing pigs.Key findings demonstrate
