Altitudinal gradients are useful to study the potential effects of climate change on ecosystems. Historically, studies on elevation gradients have primarily focused on macro-organisms and ecosystem processes, while microorganisms have been mostly ignored d ...
Alcs. instead of aldehydes were used in the Passerini three-component reaction under catalytic aerobic conditions. Mixing alcs., isocyanides, and carboxylic acids in toluene in the presence of a catalytic amt. of cupric chloride, NaNO2, and TEMPO afforded, ...
Driven by the commercial success of recombinant biopharmaceuticals, there is an increasing demand for novel, cost-effective mammalian cell culture bioreactor systems for the production of biologicals requiring mammalian protein processing. Recently, orbita ...
We have studied ischemic tolerance induced by the serine protease thrombin in two different models of experimental ischemia. In organotypic hippocampal slice cultures, we demonstrate that incubation with low doses of thrombin protects neurons against a sub ...
Dielectric Barrier Discharges (DBD) have been used for more than a century, especially for ozone production. Research conducted within the last twenty years has investigated the discharge mechanisms involved and the different discharge regimes observable ( ...
The aim of this study is to analyze the use of Ag-doped activated carbon aerogels for bromide and iodide removal from drinking water and to study how the activation of Ag-doped aerogels affects their behavior. It has been observed that the carbonization tr ...
The main objectives of this work are 2-fold : The development of a novel type of composite material based on carbon nanofibers supported on sintered metal fibers filters (CNF/SMF) and to explore the use of this material as a catalytic support for a model r ...
This paper addresses the origin of the decrease in the external electrical bias required for water photoelectrolysis with hematite photoanodes, observed following surface treatments of such electrodes. We consider two alternative surface modifications: a c ...
The thermochemical production of hydrogen from lignocellulosic biomass is systematically analyzed by developing environomic models combining thermodynamics with economic analysis, process integration techniques and optimization strategies for the conceptua ...
Virus removal and inactivation is still a major challenge for water treatment facilities in both industrialised nations and developing countries. This may seem surprising as chlorine disinfection started to spread broadly over a century ago. However, many ...
