Abstract. The first KErguelen Ocean and Plateau compared Study (KEOPS1), conducted in the naturally iron-fertilised Kerguelen bloom, demonstrated that fecal material was main pathway for exporting carbon to deep ocean during summer (January–February 2005), suggesting a limited role of direct export via phytodetrital aggregates. KEOPS2 project reinvestigated this issue spring bloom initiation (October–November 2011), when zooplankton communities may exert grazing pressure, further explored...
A new polyclonal antibody to the human erythrocyte urea transporter UT-B detects a broad band between 45 and 65 kDa in erythrocytes 37 51 rat erythrocytes. In erythrocytes, protein is Kidd (Jk) antigen, Jk(a+b+) express 45- 65-kDa band. However, Jk null [Jk(a-b-)], only faint at 55 detected. kidney medulla, 41 54 kDa, as well larger 98 Human show staining nonfenestrated endothelial cells descending vasa recta. mRNA are detected brain, colon, heart, liver, lung, testis. When medulla or liver...
Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) technology has attracted vast attention for combined heat and power (CHP) application on low or zero carbon emissions because of its high efficiency multi-fuel selectivity. Due to the operation temperature, a commercial SOFC system requires complex thermal balance stack self-heating ability which are dramatically influenced by inlet reaction radiation stack. Multi-fuel selectivity is further distinct advantage when considering future variety renewable fuel...
Many remote communities are reliant on fossil fuels to produce electricity and/or heat. The environmental impact from these generation systems in regions have significant emissions the transportation of fuel site and only exacerbate effects climate change communities. Power via sustainable methods is a priority avoid further damage sustain local (aligns with UNSDG 7, 11 13). A life cycle assessment for deployment renewable device (ORPC, Rivgen®) Alaska, USA as case study comparison against...
Abstract Herein, cotton stalk biomass was initially characterized to understand its physicochemical properties as a raw material for biochar production. Furthermore, thermal analysis conducted using thermogravimetric (TGA), and the results were further utilized evaluate stalk's kinetic behavior under decomposition in an inert environment. Advanced kinetics technology solutions (AKTS) software first time employed compute parameters of pyrolysis, well provide predictions isothermal conditions....
Infrastructure at sea to accommodate a transition renewable energy and meet global climate commitments is proliferating around the world. Although there seemingly more space than on land for these new developments, anticipated existing conflict with marine users such as fishing industry have raised concerns. Yet, countries world committed just transition, which should avoid disproportionate impacts specific communities. This study introduces framework that considers three dimensions of...
In this paper, an experimental investigation on the wave loads and structural motions of two semi-fixed semi-immersed horizontal cylinders type rafts in free surface zone is conducted. The physical models are tested at 1:4.5 scale exposed to a range regular irregular waves flume Queen's University Belfast. setup discussed alongside hydrodynamic phenomena, surge forces, dynamic responses that each structure exhibits coastal climates. Furthermore, into attenuation by both carried out. results...
Progress in the development of commercially available non-enzymatic glucose sensors continues to be problematic due issues regarding selectivity, reproducibility and stability. Overcoming these is a research challenge significant importance. This study reports novel fabrication process using double-layer self-assembly (3 mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTS) on gold substrate co-deposition platinum–copper alloy. The subsequent electrochemical dealloying less noble copper resulted nanoporous...
Urea transporters have been cloned from kidney medulla (UT-A) and erythrocytes (UT-B). We determined whether UT-A proteins could be detected in heart their abundance was altered by uremia or hypertension human failure. In normal rat heart, bands were at 56, 51, 39 kDa. uremic rats, the of 56-kDa protein increased 1.9-fold compared with pair-fed, sham-operated whereas 51- 39-kDa unchanged. also UT-A2 mRNA hearts control rats. Because is accompanied hypertension, effects per se studied...
Mammalian urea transporters are facilitated membrane transport proteins belonging to two families, UT-A and UT-B. They best known for their role of maintaining the renal inner medullary urinary concentrating gradient. Urea have also been identified in tissues not typically associated with metabolism. The purpose this study was survey major organs rat determine distribution UT-B mRNA transcripts protein forms cellular localization. Five kidney subregions 17 extrarenal were screened by...
Abstract. The first KErguelen Ocean and Plateau compared Study (KEOPS1), conducted in the naturally iron-fertilised Kerguelen bloom, demonstrated that fecal material was main pathway for exporting carbon to deep ocean during summer (January–February~2005), suggesting a~limited role of direct export via phytodetrital aggregates. KEOPS2 project re-investigated this issue spring bloom initiation (October–November 2011), when zooplankton communities may exert limited grazing pressure, explored...
Seaweed aquaculture is a growing industry due to the multiple uses of macroalgae. One such use bioenergy, which raises uncertainties concerning economic feasibility and social implications. Most industries likely have an impact on environment people are subjected resistance from communities interest local communities. People now empowered communicate their expectations influence industrial activities by granting or withholding license operate (SLO). For new like seaweed cultivation for it...
The effectiveness of a once-weekly vancomycin dosing protocol for patients receiving long-term high-flux hemodialysis (HFHD) in the outpatient setting was studied.Eligible were at least 18 years old, required two months before study enrollment, and not known to have any active infection. All received dialysis 1000-bed urban teaching hospital three times per week through synthetic dialyzer. 35 mg/kg, rounded nearest 250 mg, administered during rate 1 g/hr via an infusion pump scheduled end...
