The total cross section for the near threshold η production in proton-proton collisions has been investigated with the assumption that the production mechanism is due to the emission of a meson x(π, η, σ) from one of the nucleons followed by a xN → ηN transition on the second one. The xN → ηN amplitudes are generated from the unitary multi-channel multi-resonance model which has recently been c...

The objective was to study the effect of phosphate salts and fixation solutions on the proton dynamics in articular cartilage in vitro. Microscopic magnetic resonance imaging (μMRI) T(2) anisotropy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) double quantum-filtered (DQF) spectroscopy were used to study the full-thickness articular cartilage from several canine humeral heads. The in-plane pixel size ac...

Proton transfer reactions are one of the most fundamental processes in biochemistry. We present a simplistic approach for estimating proton probabilities membrane protein, cytochrome c oxidase. combine short molecular dynamics simulations at discrete protonation states with Monte Carlo to exchange between those states. Requesting existence hydrogen-bonded connection two source and target residu...

Dual M-Z interferometer is the sensitive element of three-component acceleration seismic geophone, while Y branch waveguide is the basic optical components composed of dual M-Z interferometer, so the design of Y branch waveguide directly affects the performance of threecomponent acceleration seismic geophone. Firstly, branch waveguide and S-shaped bent waveguide are introduced, and symmetrical ...

The tyrosine decarboxylase operon of Lactobacillus brevis IOEB9809 contains, adjacent to the tyrosine decarboxylase gene, a gene for TyrP, a putative tyrosine transporter. The two genes potentially form a proton motive tyrosine decarboxylation pathway. The putative tyrosine transporter gene of L. brevis was expressed in Lactococcus lactis and functionally characterized using right-side-out memb...

Water loss and the coincident increase in membrane resistance to proton conduction are significant barriers to high performance operation of traditional proton exchange membrane fuel cells at elevated temperatures where the relative humidity may be reduced. We report here approaches to the development of high temperature membranes for proton exchange membrane fuel cells; composite perfluorinate...

Fuel cells hold great promise for wide applications in portable, residential, and large-scale power supplies. For low temperature fuel cells, such as the proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs), proton-exchange membranes (PEMs) are a key component determining the fuel cells performance. PEMs with high proton conductivity under anhydrous conditions can...

The novel oriented electrospun nanofiber membrane composed of MOFs and SPPESK has been synthesized for proton exchange membrane fuel cell operating at high temperature and anhydrous conditions. It is clear that the oriented nanofiber membrane displays the higher proton conductivity than that of the disordered nanofiber membrane or the membrane prepared by conventional solvent-casting method (wi...
