Activity of gold supported catalysts strongly depends on the type and composition of support, which determine the size of Au nanoparticles (Au NPs), gold-support interaction influencing gold properties, interaction with the reactants and, in this way, the reaction pathway. The aim of this study was to use two types of zeolites: the three dimensional HBeta and the layered two-dimensional MCM-36 as supports for gold, and modification of their properties towards the achievement of different properties in oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid with molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. Such an approach allowed establishment of relationships between the activity of gold catalysts and different parameters such as Au NPs size, electronic properties of gold, structure and acidity of the supports. The zeolites were modified with (3-aminopropyl)-trimethoxysilane (APMS), which affected the support features and Au NPs properties. Moreover, the modification of the zeolite lattice with boron was applied to change the strength of the zeolite acidity. All modifications resulted in changes in glucose conversion, while maintaining high selectivity to gluconic acid. The most important findings include the differences in the reaction steps limiting the reaction rate depending on the nature of the oxidant applied (oxygen vs. H2O2), the important role of porosity of the zeolite supports, and accumulation of negative charge on Au NPs in catalytic oxidation of glucose.

Role of transition metals (Ni, Cu, Fe, and Zn) on MoS2 supported alumina was studied for the HDO of propylguaiacol (PG) to produce aromatics, cycloalkanes, and phenolics. A kinetic model was proposed elucidating the reaction pathway for HDO of PG.

: HOX genes belong to the highly conserved homeobox superfamily, responsible for the regulation of various cellular processes that control cell homeostasis, from embryogenesis to carcinogenesis. The abnormal expression of HOX genes is observed in various cancers, including breast cancer; they act as oncogenes or as suppressors of cancer, according to context. In this review, we analyze HOX gene expression patterns in breast cancer and examine their relationship, based on the three-dimensional genome structure of the HOX locus. The presence of non-coding RNAs, embedded within the HOX cluster, and the role of these molecules in breast cancer have been reviewed. We further evaluate the characteristic activity of HOX protein in breast cancer and its therapeutic potential.

Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a rare, benign, fibro-osseous lesion of the jawbone characterised by replacement of the normal bone with fibrous tissue. The fibrous tissue shows varying amount of calcified structures resembling bone and/or cementum. The central variant of OF is rare, and shows predilection for mandible among the jawbone. Although it is classified as fibro-osseous lesion, it clinically behaves as a benign tumour and can grow to large size, causing bony swelling and facial asymmetry. This paper reports a case of large central OF of mandible in a 40-year-old male patient. The lesion was treated by segmental resection of mandible. Reconstruction of the surgical defect was done using avascular fibula bone graft. Role of three-dimensional printing of jaw and its benefits in surgical planning and reconstruction are also highlighted.

Abstract The gravitational charge algebra of generic asymptotically locally (A)dS spacetimes is derived in n dimensions. The analysis is performed in the Starobinsky/Fefferman-Graham gauge, without assuming any further boundary condition than the minimal falloffs for conformal compactification. In particular, the boundary structure is allowed to fluctuate and plays the role of source yielding some symplectic flux at the boundary. Using the holographic renormalization procedure, the divergences are removed from the symplectic structure, which leads to finite expressions. The charges associated with boundary diffeomorphisms are generically non-vanishing, non-integrable and not conserved, while those associated with boundary Weyl rescalings are non-vanishing only in odd dimensions due to the presence of Weyl anomalies in the dual theory. The charge algebra exhibits a field-dependent 2-cocycle in odd dimensions. When the general framework is restricted to three-dimensional asymptotically AdS spacetimes with Dirichlet boundary conditions, the 2-cocycle reduces to the Brown-Henneaux central extension. The analysis is also specified to leaky boundary conditions in asymptotically locally (A)dS spacetimes that lead to the Λ-BMS asymptotic symmetry group. In the flat limit, the latter contracts into the BMS group in n dimensions.
