Low levels of tetracyclines select for a mutation that prevents the evolution of high-level resistance to tigecycline. by Jennifer Jagdmann, Dan I Andersson, Hervé Nicoloff

“…Our work demonstrates how low concentrations of tetracyclines, such as those found in contaminated environments, can enrich and select for a mutation that generates an evolutionary dead-end that precludes the evolution towards high-level, clinically relevant tigecycline resistance.…”

Improvement of salt rejection efficiency of cellulose acetate membrane through modification by poly(amidoamine) dendrimer-functionalized graphene oxide by Y. Heidari, E. Noroozian, Sh Maghsoudi

“…Hence, the rejection and permeability tests of the prepared membrane were examined by Na2SO4 (98.40%), NaCl (52%), and MgCl2 (57%) solutions through a lab dead-end cell. According to the results, the value of salt rejection established more permeability and rejection than neat cellulose acetate membrane.…”

Scientific review of psychophysiological detection of deceit by Igor Areh, Kaja Jaklin

“…It remains unstandardized and unscientific, separated from science and mainly without attempts to escape from the dead-end. The most influential theoretical backgrounds of CQT technique are examined; however, none of them represents a satisfactory scientific foundation of the technique. …”

Of light and limits: Philosophy matters by M.E. Botha

“…This perennial search for the elusive universal reaches a dead-end in post-modernism. If Christian philosophy wants to shed light on this issue so central to the heart of theorizing, it needs to develop a dynamic understanding of the notion of law, order, limits and boundaries and the way such an understanding could inform the discussions concerning scientific realism and the end(s) of philosophy.…”

Micropatterning of planar metal electrodes by vacuum filling microfluidic channel geometries by Stelios Chatzimichail, Pashiini Supramaniam, Oscar Ces, Ali Salehi-Reyhani

“…By introducing aqueous solutions of metal into reversibly adhered PDMS devices by desiccation instead of flow, we are able to produce difficult to pattern “dead end” or discontinuous features with ease. We characterize electrodes fabricated using this method and perform electrical lysis of mammalian cancer cells and demonstrate their use as part of an antibody capture assay for GFP. …”

On the Problem of the Semantic Structure of Consciousness by G.G. Kravtsov, O.G. Kravtsov

“…They point out the impossibility of a mechanical transfer of the paradigm and explanatory principles of natural science to the field of psychology, in which such an approach inevitably leads to a methodological dead end. A person becomes part of a deterministic relationship, losing their most important trait — their freedom. …”

Harnessing the protective potential of HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies [version 1; referees: 2 approved] by S Abigail Smith, Cynthia A Derdeyn

“…While there are practical and technological barriers blocking a clear path from broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAb) to a protective vaccine, this is not a dead end. Scientists are revisiting old approaches with new technology, cutting new trails through unexplored territory, and paving new roads in the hopes of preventing HIV-1 infection. …”

Risk of exposure to eastern equine encephalomyelitis virus increases with the density of northern cardinals. by Laura K Estep, Christopher J W McClure, Patrick Vander Kelen, Nathan D Burkett-Cadena, Stephen Sickerman, José Hernandez, Joseph Jinright, Brenda Hunt, John Lusk, Victor Hoover, Keith Armstrong, Lillian M Stark, Geoffrey E Hill, Thomas R Unnasch

“…The proposed mechanism driving this pattern is an increased likelihood in species-rich communities that infectious individuals will encounter dead-end hosts. Mosquito-borne pathogen systems potentially are exceptions to such "dilution effects" because mosquitoes vary their rates of use of vertebrate host species as bloodmeal sources relative to host availabilities. …”
