Trans‐seeding of Alzheimer‐related tau protein by a yeast prion

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Zhiva Skachokova

Abnormal tau protein aggregates constitute a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. The mechanisms underlying the initiation of tau aggregation in sporadic neurodegeneration remain unclear. Here we investigate whether a non-human prion can seed tau aggregation. ...

Homoeolog Inference Methods Requiring Bidirectional Best Hits or Synteny Miss Many Pairs

Shaoline Sheppard

Homoeologs are pairs of genes or chromosomes in the same species that originated by speciation and were brought back together in the same genome by allopolyploidization. Bioinformatic methods for accurate homoeology inference are crucial for studying the e ...

Mechanisms of Plasma-Seed Treatments as a Potential Seed Processing Technology

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Alexandra Waskow

Plasma treatments are currently being assessed as a seed processing technology for agricultural purposes where seeds are typically subjected to pre-sowing treatments to improve the likelihood of timely and uniform germination. The aim of this review is to ...

Parameters affecting thermal risk through a kinetic model under adiabatic condition: Application to liquid-liquid reaction system

Thierry Meyer

Risk of thermal runaway for epoxidation is not negligible and should be analyzed and assessed. In industry, epoxidation of vegetable oils is carried out by the oxidation of Prileschajew, involving the in situ production of percarboxylic acid from hydrogen ...

Resolving biodegradation patterns of persistent saturated hydrocarbons in weathered oil samples from the Deepwater Horizon disaster

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Jonas Gros

Biodegradation plays a major role in the natural attenuation of oil spills. However, limited information is available about biodegradation of different saturated hydrocarbon classes in surface environments, despite that oils are composed mostly of saturate ...

Impact of biofuels production on land-use change and greenhouse gas emissions

Luis Alberto Panichelli

This research assesses the effect of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission constraints imposed in biofuel importing countries on the export potential of biofuel producing countries. Several countries are promoting the introduction of biofuels on their energy matri ...

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 ...

An Enantiomerically Pure Alleno-Acetylenic Macrocycle: Synthesis and Rationalization of Its Outstanding Chiroptical Response

Pablo Rivera Fuentes

First enantiomerically pure alleno-acetylenic macrocycles were synthesized. The origin of the main CD band proposed by calcns. was found to be in accordance with the exptl. conclusion obtained from the g-factor plot. The unique combination of geometric and ...

Chiral Induction from Allenes into Twisted 1,1,4,4-Tetracyanobuta-1,3-dienes (TCBDs): Conformational Assignment by Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy

Pablo Rivera Fuentes

The mechanism of chiral induction in an optically pure 1,3-diethynylallene, from the central chiral allene moiety into directly adjacent TCBD chromophores, was confirmed and clarified. Only one low-energy conformer is found in calcns. of the potential ener ...

Life Cycle Assessment of Soybean-Based Biodiesel in Argentina for Export

Edgard Gnansounou, Arnaud Dauriat, Luis Alberto Panichelli

Background, aim and scope. Regional specificities are a key factor when analyzing the environmental impact of a biofuel pathway through a life cycle assessment (LCA). Due to different energy mixes, transport distances, agricultural practices and land use c ...
