We report on an easy, fast, eco-friendly, and reliable method for the synthesis of reduced graphene oxide/SnO2 nanocomposite as cathode material application in microbial fuel cells (MFCs). The was prepared starting from oxide that has been to during hydrothermal nanocomposite, carried out a microwave system. Structural morphological characterizations evidenced formation sheets, with SnO2 crystals few nanometers integrated matrix. Physico-chemical analysis revealed nanoparticles, well...
The study of hand and finger movement is an important topic with applications in prosthetics, rehabilitation, ergonomics. Surface electromyography (sEMG) the gold standard for analysis muscle activation. Previous studies investigated optimal electrode number positioning on forearm to obtain information representative activation robust movements. However, sEMG spatial distribution during movements its changes due different positions has never been quantified. aim this work quantify 1)...
Rab5 is a small GTPase known to regulate vesicular trafficking during interphase. Here, we show that also plays an unexpected role mitotic progression. RNAi-mediated silencing of caused defects in chromosome congression and extensive prometaphase delay, it correlated with severe reduction the localization centromere-associated protein CENP-F kinetochores. component nuclear matrix required for that, at entry, localizes envelope assembles on kinetochores, contributing establishment kinetochore...
Abstract The present work investigates the fluid dynamic distribution in two different geometries of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs), a squared shape MFC and drop‐like one, explores their use as possible biosensors. For both architectures, air‐cathode single chamber microbial fuel cells (SCMFCs) with an inner volume 12.5 mL have been developed. Simulations based on Navier‐Stokes equations were used to investigate motion fluid, i.e., electrolyte, inside MFCs. aim was define effective exposed area...
Integrin-mediated cell adhesion stimulates a cascade of signaling pathways that control proliferation, migration, and survival, mostly through tyrosine phosphorylation molecules. p130Cas, originally identified as major substrate v-Src, is scaffold molecule interacts with several proteins mediates multiple cellular events after mitogen treatment. Here, we describe novel p130Cas-associated protein named p140Cap (Cas-associated protein) new phosphorylated involved in integrin- epidermal growth...
The Cdc14 family of dual specificity phosphatases regulates key mitotic events in the eukaryotic cell cycle. Although extensively characterized yeast, little is known about function mammalian members. Here we report a genetic substrate-trapping system designed to identify substrates human Cdc14A (hCdc14A) phosphatase. Using this approach, RN-tre, GTPase-activating protein for Rab5 GTPase, as novel physiological target hCdc14A. As protein, RN-tre has previously been implicated control...
The aim of this work is to investigate the properties biofilms, spontaneously grown on cathode electrodes single-chamber microbial fuel cells, when used as catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). To purpose, a comparison between two sets different carbon-based carried out. first one (Pt-based biocathode) based proliferation biofilm onto Pt/C layer, leading thus creation biohybrid catalyst. second set (Pt-free bare material, which grows and acts sole catalyst ORR. Linear sweep...
Abstract A green approach to the synthesis of nitrogen‐doped, carbon‐based aerogels with good conductivity and catalytic properties is presented. With aim design an easily sustainable process, starting precursors are selected from abundant waste‐related organic materials. The naturally derived polysaccharide agar acts as carbon source in a water solution amino acid, glycine or lysine, used nitrogen source. Using this approach, defects created 3D porous aerogel. They shown act active sites...
Abstract A binder‐free electrospinning‐on‐electrode (EoE) assembly is proposed for the decoration of nonflat electrodes with nanostructured catalysts. EoE exploits modulation electric field induced by conducting protrusions. Using as collectors, allows arrangement catalyst optimized electrochemical interfaces. This work discusses carbon paper manganese oxide to catalyze oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Carbon fibers on top act conductive protrusions, locally enhancing field, and thus...
Sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) are energy harvesting devices where the anode is buried inside marine sediment, while cathode stays in an aerobic environment on surface of water. To apply this SCMFC as a power source, it crucial to have efficient management system, leading development effective technique suitable for such biological devices. In work, we demonstrate method improve extraction with SMFCs based anodes alternation. We altered setup traditional SMFC include two working same...
