The entangled “measurement state” (MS), predicted by von Neumann to arise during quantum measurement, seems display paradoxical properties such as multiple macroscopic outcomes. But analysis of interferometry experiments using photon pairs shows that states differ surprisingly from simple superposition states. Based on standard theory, this paper the MS (i) does not represent detector readings ...

Hybrid networks, including physical and chemical cross-links, were synthesized from biosourced fatty acid fragments, linked to each other by a controlled number of nonexchangeable ether bonds, exchangeable ester noncovalent hydrogen bonds. The mechanical properties these networks are tuned the ratio di- versus tetraepoxide stoichiometry acid/epoxy. Creep tests insolubility demonstrated vitrimer...

Lipid rafts are regions of the plasma membrane that are enriched in cholesterol, glycosphingolipids and acylated proteins, and which have been proposed as sites for the proteolytic processing of the Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein (APP). Lipid rafts can be isolated on the basis of their insolubility in Triton X-100 at 4 degrees C, with the resulting low-density, detergent-insoluble glycol...

In recent years, there has been increasing concern about the safety of additives used to extend shelf-life food products. As a result, lycopene, natural phytochemical compound, attracted attention, as it demonstrated be potential alternative traditional artificial antioxidants, with significant health benefits when applied preservation. Based on this, this review introduces specific forms lycop...

The anaerobic digestion (AD) of biomass is a green technology with known environmental benefits for biogas generation. yield from existing substrates and the biodegradability biomasses can be improved by conventional or novel enhancement techniques, such as addition iron-based nanoparticles (NPs). In this study, effect different concentrations Fe2O3-based NPs on AD brown macroalga Sargassum spp...

The CCS copper chaperone is critical for maturation of Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) through insertion of the copper co-factor and oxidization of an intra-subunit disulfide. The disulfide helps stabilize the SOD1 polypeptide, which can be particularly important in cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) linked to misfolding of mutant SOD1. Surprisingly, however, over-expressed CCS was...

Syndecan heparan sulphate proteoglycans directly mediate a novel endocytic pathway. Using Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing the human syndecan 1 core protein or a chimaeric receptor, FcR-Synd, consisting of the ectodomain of the IgG Fc receptor Ia linked to the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of syndecan 1, we previously reported that efficient internalization is triggered by ligand ...
