The U.S. Department of Energy and the National Renewable Laboratory are developing technologies to produce hydrogen from renewable, sustainable sources. A cost goal $2.00–$3.00 kg−1 has been identified as range at which delivered becomes competitive with gasoline for passenger vehicles. Electrolysis water is a standard commercial technology producing hydrogen. Using wind solar resources electricity process creates renewable system. Biomass-to-hydrogen processes, including gasification,...
Abstract Boreal peatlands in Canada have harbored relict permafrost since the Little Ice Age due to strong insulating properties of peat. Ongoing climate change has triggered widespread degradation localized across continental Canada. Here, we explore influence differing regimes (bogs with no surface permafrost, features and internal lawns representing areas degradation) on rates peat accumulation at southernmost limit Net organic matter generally was greater unfrozen bogs than landforms,...
1 We separated the effects of plant species controls on decomposition rates from environmental in northern peatlands using a full factorial, reciprocal transplant experiment eight dominant bryophytes four distinct peatland types boreal Alberta, Canada. Standard fractionation techniques as well compound-specific pyrolysis molecular beam mass spectrometry were used to identify biochemical mechanism underlying any interspecific differences rates. 2 found that over 3-year field incubation,...
The conversion of pine pyrolysis vapors over fixed beds HZSM-5 catalyst was studied as a function deactivation the catalyst, presumably by coking.
T cell activation involves not only recognition of antigen presented by the MHC, but also nonspecific interactions termed "costimulation."The costimulatory molecules B7- 1 and B7-2 are ligands on antigen-presenting cells for CD28 CTLA-4 receptors cells.Previously, a fusion protein consisting human linked to Fc was shown bind B7-1 with high avidity prevent specific activation.Here we investigated effects recombinant extracellular domain bound mouse IgG2a (CTLA4-Fc) upon experimental...

Owing to the prevalence of JAK2V617F mutation in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), its constitutive activity, and ability recapitulate MPN phenotype mouse models, kinase is an attractive therapeutic target. We report discovery initial characterization orally bioavailable imidazopyridazine, LY2784544, a potent, selective ATP-competitive inhibitor janus 2 (JAK2) tyrosine kinase. LY2784544 was discovered characterized using JAK2-inhibition screening assay tandem with biochemical cell-based...
ABSTRACT The central nervous system (CNS) has specific barriers that protect the brain from potential threats and tightly regulate molecular transport. Despite critical functions of CNS barriers, mechanisms underlying their development function are not well understood, there very limited experimental models for study. Claudin 5 is a tight junction protein required blood barrier (BBB) and, probably, choroid plexus (CP) structure in vertebrates. Here, we show gene claudin 5a zebrafish...
Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen and a leading cause of fungal-infection-related fatalities, especially in immunocompromised hosts. Several virulence factors are known to play major role the pathogenesis cryptococcal infections, including enzyme phospholipase B1 (Plb1). Compared other well-studied such as polysaccharide capsule melanin production, very little about contribution Plb1 virulence. Phospholipase phospholipid-modifying that has been implicated multiple...
Stokstad et al. (1949) reported that the animal protein factor was multiple in nature and evidence presented showing a whole fermented mash resulting from growth of Streptomyces aureofaciens deep aerobic culture contained an unidentified chick factor(s). Since fermentation product employed it occurred to us this material may have significant quantities antibiotic aureomycin which conceivably could influenced profound manner. The concept antibiotics playing role effect brought mind by report...
