Adenosine A(1) receptors control the metabolic recovery after hypoxia in rat hippocampal slices

João Miguel das Neves Duarte

Adenosine is a neuromodulator that protects neurons from hypoxia. This effect is attributed to the ability of adenosine A(1) receptors (A(1)R) to inhibit excitatory synaptic transmission. However, A(1)R activation also protects non-brain tissues from hypox ...

A novel crude glycerol assisted surfactant pretreatment strategy of chili post-harvest residue for bioethanol production

Edgard Gnansounou, Binod Parameswaran

A novel crude glycerol assisted surfactant pretreatment was evaluated for bioethanol production from chili post-harvest residue. Among the various surfactants screened crude glycerol assisted polyethylene glycol (PEG) pretreatment was found to be more effe ...

Modeling enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic substrates using confocal fluorescence microscopy I: Filter paper cellulose

Jeremy Luterbacher

Enzymatic hydrolysis is one of the critical steps in depolymerizing lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars for further upgrading into fuels and/or chemicals. However, many studies still rely on empirical trends to optimize enzymatic reactions. An ...

Biphasic Model Describing Soybean Oil Epoxidation with H2O2 in Continuous Reactors

Albert Renken

Epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) is produced in industry by reacting soybean oil, at 60-70 degrees C, with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of formic or acetic acid. A small amount of sulphuric or phosphoric acid is necessary to catalyze the oxidation of the ...
