Bi- to tetravalent glycoclusters: synthesis, structure-activity profiles as lectin inhibitors and impact of combining both valency and headgroup tailoring on selectivity.
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2012-06-29)The emerging functional versatility of cellular glycans makes research on the design of synthetic inhibitors a timely topic. In detail, the combination of ligand (or headgroup or contact site) structure with spatial ... -
Bimodular rubber buckles early in bending
(Elsevier, 2009-12-03)A block of rubber eventually buckles under severe flexure, and several axial wrinkles appear on the inner curved face of the bent block. Experimental measurements reveal that the buckling occurs earlier - at lower compressive ... -
Bioassay models with natural mortality and random effects
(2011)In fitting dose-response models to entomological data it is often necessary to take account of natural mortality and/or overdispersion. The standard approach to handle natural mortality is to use Abbott¿s formula. Standard ... -
Bioassays with natural mortality: handling overdispersion using random effects
(2011)In fitting dose-response models to entomological data it is often necessary to take account of natural mortality and/or overdispersion. The standard approach to handle natural mortality is to use Abbott's formula (Abbott, ... -
Bioelectrochemical Haber-Bosch process: An ammonia-producing H-2/N-2 fuel cell
(Wiley, 2017-02-03)Nitrogenases are the only enzymes known to reduce molecular nitrogen (N-2) to ammonia (NH3). By using methyl viologen (N, N'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium) to shuttle electrons to nitrogenase, N-2 reduction to NH3 can be ... -
Bioinformatic identification and analysis of extensins in the plant kingdom
(Public Library of Science, 2016-02-26)Extensins (EXTs) are a family of plant cell wall hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs) that are implicated to play important roles in plant growth, development, and defense. Structurally, EXTs are characterized by the ... -
Biological phosphorus removal during high-rate, low-temperature, anaerobic digestion of wastewater
(Frontiers Media, 2016-03-03)We report, for the first time, extensive biologically mediated phosphate removal from wastewater during high-rate anaerobic digestion (AD). A hybrid sludge bed/fixed-film (packed pumice stone) reactor was employed for ... -
Bioreactor scalability: laboratory-scale bioreactor design influences performance, ecology, and community physiology in expanded granular sludge bed bioreactors
(Frontiers Media, 2017)Studies investigating the feasibility of new, or improved, biotechnologies, such as wastewater treatment digesters, inevitably start with laboratory-scale trials. However, it is rarely determined whether laboratory-scale ... -
Bleustein-Gulyaev waves in some functionally graded materials
(Elsevier, 2006-02-28)Functionally Graded Materials are inhomogeneous elastic bodies whose properties vary continuously with space. Hence consider a half-space (x2>0) occupied by a special Functionally Graded Material made of an hexagonal (6 ... -
The BMR freeness conjecture for the 2-reflection groups
(American Mathematical Society, 2016-10-12)We prove the freeness conjecture of Broue, Malle and Rouquier for the Hecke algebras associated to the primitive complex 2-reflection groups with a single conjugacy class of reflections. -
Bodipy-ruthenium(II) tris-bipyridyl dyads for homogeneous photochemical oxidations
(Elsevier, 2014-10-28)Two Bodipy-ruthenium(II) tris-bipyridyl dyads were synthesized for use as sensitizers in photochemical oxidation reactions of organic substrates. The synthetic strategy involved the use of a simple ‘click’ CuAAC reaction ... -
Bordetella pertussis expresses a functional type III secretion system that subverts protective innate and adaptive immune responses
(American Society for Microbiology, 2008-01)Certain bacteria use a type III secretion system (TTSS) to deliver effector proteins that interfere with cell function into host cells. While transcription of genes encoding TTSS components has been demonstrated, studies ... -
The bosonic vertex operator algebra on a genus g Riemann surface
(2011-08)We discuss the partition function for the Heisenberg vertex operator algebra on a genus g Riemann surface formed by sewing handles to a Riemann sphere. In particular, it is shown how the partition can be computed by means ... -
A Bpp-based dinuclear ruthenium photocatalyst for visible light-driven oxidation reactions
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-11-05)A diruthenium dyad molecule consisting of a 2,2-(1H-pyrazole-3,5-diyl)dipyridine (Hbpp) bridging ligand with the formula out-/in-[(bpy)2Ru(bpp)Ru(L)(tpy)]n+ (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, tpy = 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine, L = Cl, ... -
Building a European exposure science strategy
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-12-02)Exposure information is a critical element in various regulatory and non-regulatory frameworks in Europe and elsewhere. Exposure science supports to ensure safe environments, reduce human health risks, and foster a sustainable ... -
Building blocks from monosaccharides for synthesis of scaffolds, including macrocycles. Application of allylic azide rearrangement, azide-alkyne cycloaddition and ring closing metathesis
(Elsevier, 2020-09-18)Synthesis of compounds with characteristics of natural products are required to increase the diversity and biological relevance of compounds for screening. These include new frameworks/scaffolds, with multiple stereogenic ... -
Bumblebee colony development following chronic exposure to field-realistic levels of the neonicotinoid pesticide thiamethoxam under laboratory conditions
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-08-20)Neonicotinoid pesticides are used in agriculture to reduce damage from crop pests. However, beneficial insects such as bees can come into contact with these pesticides when foraging in treated areas, with potential ... -
Bumblebee learning and memory is impaired by chronic exposure to a neonicotinoid pesticide.
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-11-16)Bumblebees are exposed to pesticides applied for crop protection while foraging on treated plants, with increasing evidence suggesting that this sublethal exposure has implications for pollinator declines. The challenges ... -
