Continuous stirred-tank reactorThe continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR), also known as vat- or backmix reactor, mixed flow reactor (MFR), or a continuous-flow stirred-tank reactor (CFSTR), is a common model for a chemical reactor in chemical engineering and environmental engineering. A CSTR often refers to a model used to estimate the key unit operation variables when using a continuous agitated-tank reactor to reach a specified output. The mathematical model works for all fluids: liquids, gases, and slurries.
Prolifération cellulaireLa prolifération cellulaire est le fait que les cellules se multiplient rapidement et en abondance. Les cellules se reproduisent par mitose c’est-à-dire par division d'elles-mêmes, donc une cellule saine continue une lignée de cellules saines. Par contre, des cellules malades peuvent produire par exemple un cancer par division cellulaire. À l'inverse, l'expression du gène « aile vestigiale » inhibe cette prolifération cellulaire lors de la formation de l'aile de la drosophile.
High-fructose corn syrupHigh-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), also known as glucose–fructose, isoglucose and glucose–fructose syrup, is a sweetener made from corn starch. As in the production of conventional corn syrup, the starch is broken down into glucose by enzymes. To make HFCS, the corn syrup is further processed by D-xylose isomerase to convert some of its glucose into fructose. HFCS was first marketed in the early 1970s by the Clinton Corn Processing Company, together with the Japanese Agency of Industrial Science and Technology, where the enzyme was discovered in 1965.
