the photocatalytic decolorization of aqueous solutions brown ng, a commercial textile dye, was studied using titana degussa p-25 as a catalyst for the first time. the experiments were carried out in a batch reactor with the use of artificial light sources (uv-c). the effects of various process variables on decolorization performance of the process have been investigated. the photodegradation of...

mixed clayey soils occur as mixtures of sand (or gravel) and clay in widely varying proportions. their engineering behavior has not been comprehensively studied yet. an experimental program, comprising monotonic, cyclic, and post-cyclic triaxial tests was undertaken on compacted clay-granular material mixtures, having different proportions of clay and sand or gravel. this paper presents the res...

The degradation of poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) by means of ultrasound irradiation and itscombination with heterogenous photocatalysis (TiO2 nanoparticles) was investigated. Emphasiswas given on the effect of additive on degradation rate constants. 24 kHz of ultrasoundirradiation was provided by a sonicator, while an ultraviolet source of 30 W was used for UVirradiation. To increase the effic...

the photocatalytic degradation of a common analgesic (acetaminophen) with titanium dioxide irradiated with low energy ultraviolet light (365 nm) was studied in order to determine the effect of several parameters such as catalyst’s weight, photochemical effect, and initial concentration. the results indicate that acetaminophen is degraded in the order of 4% by the photochemical effect. the pres...

In recent years, the use of genome-wide technologies has revolutionized the study of eukaryotic transcription producing results for thousands of genes at every step of mRNA life. The statistical analyses of the results for a single condition, different conditions, different transcription stages, or even between different techniques, is outlining a totally new landscape of the eukaryotic transcr...

Based on the above mechanisms of mRNA degradation, an integrated model of mRNA turnover can be proposed (Figure 1). In this model, all polyadenylated mRNAs would be degraded by the deadenylation-dependent pathway at some rate. In addition to this default pathway, another layer of complexity would come from degradation mechanisms specific to individual mRNAs or to classes of mRNAs. Such mRNA-spe...

The selective autophagy receptors Atg19 and Atg32 interact with two proteins of the core autophagic machinery: the scaffold protein Atg11 and the ubiquitin-like protein Atg8. We found that the Pichia pastoris pexophagy receptor, Atg30, also interacts with Atg8. Both Atg30 and Atg32 interactions are regulated by phosphorylation close to Atg8-interaction motifs. Extending this finding to Saccharo...

Proper protein turnover is required for cardiac homeostasis and, accordingly, impaired proteasomal function appears to contribute to heart disease. Specific proteasomal degradation mechanisms underlying cardiovascular biology and disease have been identified, and such cellular pathways have been proposed to be targets of clinical relevance. This review summarizes the latest literature regarding...
