The multicomponent exchange of metals between magmatic fluids and silicate melts by Gion, AM, Gaillard, F

“…The equilibrium concentrations of each species were then used to calculate apparent equilibrium constants and characterize the exchange of 42 cations between the fluid and silicate melts for 129 aqueous species. We find that these apparent equilibrium constants vary as a function of the HCl and HF content of the experimental fluid. …”

New multi-target based therapeutics against an opportunistic superbug by Premkumar, Jayaraman.

“…Additionally, expansion of the phytochemical-antibiotic interaction profiles were also carried out with various classes of antibiotics and phytochemicals to understand the interaction patterns by establishing a novel interaction network that provides a baseline to identify the mechanism of action of the phytochemicals and molecular mechanism of synergy. The above findings have potential implications in delaying the development of resistance as the antibacterial effect is achieved with lower concentrations of both drugs (antibiotics and phytochemicals). …”
