HSP72 Protects Cells from ER Stress-induced Apoptosis via Enhancement of IRE1¿-XBP1 Signaling through a Physical Interaction
(2010)
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a feature of secretory cells and of many diseases including cancer, neurodegeneration, and diabetes. Adaptation to ER stress depends on the activation of a signal transduction pathway ...
Mechanisms of ER Stress-Mediated Mitochondrial Membrane Permeabilization
(2010)
During apoptosis, the process of mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) represents a point-of-no-return as it commits the cell to death. Here we have assessed the role of caspases, Bcl-2 family members and ...
Head-to-nerve analysis of electromechanical impairments of diffuse axonal injury
(Springer, 2018-11-14)
The aim was to investigate mechanical and functional failure of diffuse axonal injury (DAI) in nerve bundles following frontal head impacts, by finite element simulations. Anatomical changes following traumatic brain injury ...
The Poynting effect
(American Association of Physics Teachers, 2020-11-19)
Intuition suggests that twisting a cylinder will shorten it, but here it is shown that for a cylinder of an incompressible material, like rubber, twisting will always produce elongation.
Characterization of an amplified piezoelectric actuator for multiple reference optical coherence tomography
(Optica, 2018-08-30)
The characterization of an amplified piezoelectric actuator (APA) as a new axial scanning method for multiple-reference optical coherence tomography (MR-OCT) is described. MR-OCT is a compact optical imaging device based ...
Microplastics in corals: An emergent threat
(Elsevier, 2020-11-01)
This article seeks to present a summary of knowledge and thus improve awareness of microplastic impacts on corals. Recent research suggests that microplastics have a variety of species-specific impacts. Among them, a reduced ...
Ignition delay time measurements of diesel and gasoline blends
(Elsevier, 2020-09-23)
Blends of diesel and gasoline can be used to achieve certain desired ignition characteristics in advanced compression ignition engine concepts. In this work, ignition delay times were measured for two blends of diesel and ...
A chemical kinetic perspective on the low-temperature oxidation of propane/propene mixtures through experiments and kinetic analyses
(Elsevier, 2020-10-21)
Our understanding of fuel oxidation has improved with rigorous experimental and theoretical investigations being performed in recent years. As investigation methods evolve, our understanding of fundamental fuel chemistry ...
Organic waste biorefineries: Looking towards implementation
(Elsevier, 2020-07-16)
The concept of biorefinery expands the possibilities to extract value from organic matter in form of either bespoke crops or organic waste. The viability of biorefinery schemes depends on the recovery of higher-value ...
Fermentative hydrogen production from cheese whey with in-line, concentration gradient-driven butyric acid extraction
(Elsevier, 2020-08-01)
Hydrogen (H2) generation from cheese whey with simultaneous production and extraction of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) was studied in UASB reactors at two temperatures (20 and 35 °C) and pH values (5.0 and 4.5). The extraction ...
