A carbon for every nitrogen

A carbon for every nitrogen.

Biology and the environment interact, one shaping the other (1). In the oceans, the chemistry of seawater and the chemistry of life are intimately linked (2). In 1958, Alfred Redfield (3) noted that the microscopic plankton of the surface ocean contain carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous atoms in a stoichiometry of ∼105:16:1 and that as these organisms sink and decay, the deep waters of the ocean...

Modules for which every non-cosingular submodule is a summand

‎A module $M$ is lifting if and only if $M$ is amply supplemented and‎ ‎every coclosed submodule of $M$ is a direct summand‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we are‎ ‎interested in a generalization of lifting modules by removing the condition‎"‎amply supplemented‎" ‎and just focus on modules such that every non-cosingular‎ ‎submodule of them is a summand‎. ‎We call these modules NS‎. ‎We investigate some gen...

Nitrogen-fixation catalyst based on graphene: every part counts.

The catalytic profile and function of each component of a molybdenum-graphene based catalyst (Mo/N-doped graphene) for nitrogen fixation, which combines the merits of these two components, is evaluated computationally. The Mo/N part acts as an active centre for N2 bond breaking and the graphene part works as an electron transmitter and electron reservoir.

Nitrogen-Containing Carbon Nanotubes - A Theoretical Approach

Optimization of Carbon and Nitrogen Sources for Extracellular Polymeric Substances Production by Chryseobacterium indologenes MUT.2

Background: Bacterial Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) are environmental friendly and versatile polymeric materials that are used in a wide range of industries such as: food, textile, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. To make the production process of the EPS cost-effective, improvements in the production yield is required which could be implemented through application of processes such a...
