Towards a kinetic understanding of the NOx promoting-effect on ignition of coalbed methane: A case study of methane/nitrogen dioxide mixtures
(Elsevier, 2016-05-03)
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is an important impurity in coal-bed methane (CBM) and a dominant component of NOx pollution in practical engines. Its promoting effect on methane ignition has been studied in the current experimental ...
Pollination ecology of Desmodium setigerum (Fabaceae) in Uganda; do big bees do it better?
(2016-09)
Explosive pollen release is documented in many plant families, including the Fabaceae. Desmodium setigerum E. Mey (Fabaceae) is a perennial herb with single trip explosive pollen release found in eastern Africa, and the ...
An experimental and modeling study of nitromethane + O2 + N2 ignition in a shock tube
(Elsevier, 2016-09-09)
The ignition of nitromethane/O-2/N-2 mixtures was investigated via shock tube experiments in the temperature range 947-1333 K at reflected shock pressures near 8, 16 and 32 atm. The ignition was recorded as the intensity ...
Nerve growth factor (NGF)-mediated regulation of p75(NTR) expression contributes to chemotherapeutic resistance in triple negative breast cancer cells
(Elsevier, 2016)
Triple negative breast cancer [TNBC] cells are reported to secrete the neurotrophin nerve growth factor [NGF] and express its receptors, p75 neurotrophin receptor [p75(NTR)] and TrkA, leading to NGF-activated pro-survival ...
Conformations of myoglobin-derived peptides at the air-water interface
(NUI Galway, 2016-12-12)
Simulation files, analysis scripts, and output data to accompany article:
Cheung, David L. (2016). Conformations of Myoglobin-Derived Peptides at the Air–Water Interface. Langmuir, 32(18), 4405-4414. doi: 10.1021/acs.la ...
The integrated stress response
(EMBO Press, 2016-09-14)
In response to diverse stress stimuli, eukaryotic cells activate a common adaptive pathway, termed the integrated stress response (ISR), to restore cellular homeostasis. The core event in this pathway is the phosphorylation ...
In vivo correlation mapping microscopy
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2016-03)
To facilitate regular assessment of the microcirculation in vivo, noninvasive imaging techniques such as nailfold capillaroscopy are required in clinics. Recently, a correlation mapping technique has been applied to optical ...
Kernel principal component analysis residual diagnosis (KPCARD): an automated method to remove cosmic ray artefacts in Raman spectra.
(2016)
A new, fully automated, rapid method, referred to as kernel principal component analysis residual diagnosis (KPCARD), is proposed for removing cosmic ray artifacts (CRAs) in Raman spectra, and in particular for large Raman ...
Development of a joint hydrogen and syngas combustion mechanism based on an optimization approach
(Wiley, 2016-05-20)
A comprehensive and hierarchical optimization of a joint hydrogen and syngas combustion mechanism has been carried out. The Keromnes et al. (Combust Flame, 2013, 160, 995-1011) mechanism for syngas combustion was updated ...
Enhanced photostability of a Ruthenium(II) Polypyridyl Complex under highly oxidizing aqueous conditions by its partial inclusion into a cyclodextrin
(Wiley, 2016-01-08)
The complex [Ru(bpy)2L]2+, where bpy=2,2′-bipyridine, L=4-(phenylethynyl)-2,2′-bipyridine, was prepared in its racemic and resolved forms (Δ and Λ). The phenylethynyl unit on the bipyridine for the complex acts as a binding ...
