BackgroundAging can impair the ability of elderly individuals to fight infections and trigger persistent systemic inflammation, a condition known as inflammaging.However, the mechanisms underlying the development of inflammaging remain unknown.MethodsWe conducted 16S rRNA sequencing of intestinal contents from young and old C57BL/6J mice to elucida
As a measure of the degree of coupling between the solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere systems, the rate at which the size Eye Masks of the polar cap (the region corresponding to ionospheric termini of open magnetic flux tubes) varies is of prime importance.However, a reliable technique by which the extent of the polar cap might be routinely monito
Color change is often used as a proxy for the mineralogical transformations occurring in pottery according to their firing temperature.In this study we employed the non-destructive technique of Visible Near Infrared Spectroscopy (VNIR) to obtain a quantitative color recording on fired clay briquettes.These were prepared using clayey raw materials c
