Photocatalytic performance of TiO2 impregnated polyester for the degradation of Reactive Green 12: Implications of the surface pretreatment and the microstructure
In the present work, we investigate the degradation of recalcitrant industrial textile dye (Reactive green 12) in aqueous solution by TiO2 impregnated polyester at room temperature. The TiO2 loading on polyester was optimized using different polyester pret ...
Elsevier2017CDK4 Phosphorylates AMPK alpha 2 to Inhibit Its Activity and Repress Fatty Acid Oxidation
Anita Nasrallah, Caterina Collodet, Judit Castillo Armengol
The roles of CDK4 in the cell cycle have been extensively studied, but less is known about the mechanisms underlying the metabolic regulation by CDK4. Here, we report that CDK4 promotes anaerobic glycolysis and represses fatty acid oxidation in mouse embry ...
Cell Press2017Bioinspired Selective Surface Deposition of Fragrance Delivery Systems
The perception of pleasantness in many of the consumer goods is provided by volatile chemical compounds called fragrances. While the volatility of fragrances is essential to provide a pleasant olfactory response, it presents at the same time a technologi ...
EPFL2016Hydrophobic Meshes for Oil Spill Recovery Devices
Widespread use of petrochemicals often leads to accidental releases in aquatic environments, occasionally with disastrous results. We have developed a hydrophobic and oleophilic mesh that separates oil from water continuously in situ via capillary action, ...
Amer Chemical Soc2013Biphasic Model Describing Soybean Oil Epoxidation with H2O2 in Continuous Reactors
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 ...
2012Epiphyseal chondro-progenitors provide a stable cell source for cartilage cell therapy
Dominique Pioletti, Corinne Scaletta, Salim Elias Darwiche
Articular cartilage regeneration poses particularly tough challenges for implementing cell-‐based therapies. Many cell types have been investigated looking for a balanced combination of responsiveness and stability, yet techniques are still far from defin ...
2012Development of bioreporter assays for the detection of bioavailability of long chain alkanes based on the marine bacterium Alcanivorax borkumensis strain SK2
Jeremy Samuel Arey, Rebecca Rutler
Long-chain alkanes are a major component of crude oil and therefore potentially good indicators of hydrocarbon spills. Here we present a set of new bacterial bioreporters and assays that allow to detect long-chain alkanes. These reporters are based on the ...
2011Flow boiling characteristics and flow pattern visualization of refrigerant/lubricant oil mixtures
A comprehensive review of flow boiling characteristics and flow pattern visualization of refrigerant/lubricant oil mixtures is presented in this paper. First, various parameters influenced by the lubricant oil in convective boiling of refrigerants, such as ...
Elsevier2009Combined to Study Cell Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells
A biological assay was designed and developed to study the effect of excreted morphogens of mechanically stimulated mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) on neighboring cells. Physical contact of different cell pop- ulations is prevented by patterning the cell ...
2009Device for measuring the quality and/or degradation of a fluid, particularly a food oil
The invention relates to a device for measuring the quality and/or degradation of a fluid, especially an oil, comprising a sensor consisting of at least one pair of electrodes which are distanced from each other. Said sensor is immersed in the fluid which ...
