Abstract The lack of anion exchange membranes (AEMs) that possess both high hydroxide conductivity and stable mechanical chemical properties poses a major challenge to the development high‐performance fuel cells. Improving one side balance between stability usually means sacrificing other. Herein, we used facile, high‐yield reactions design synthesize piperidinium polymer with polyethylene back...

Heparan sulphates are highly sulphated linear polysaccharides involved in many cellular functions. Their biological properties stem from their ability to interact with a wide range of proteins. An increasing number of studies, using heparan sulphate-derived oligosaccharides, suggest that specific structural features within the polysaccharide are responsible for ligand recognition and regulation...

Turtles possess a significant postcapillary CO2 partial pressure (PCO2) disequilibrium between arterial blood and alveolar gas. There are several possible explanations for this blood disequilibrium including a slow rate of erythrocyte physiological anion shift (Cl-/HCO3- exchange) or inaccessibility of plasma HCO3- to red blood cell or pulmonary carbonic anhydrase. The present study characteriz...

Microbial reverse electrodialysis cells (MRECs) combine power generation from salinity gradient energy using reverse electrodialysis (RED), with power generation from organic matter using a microbial fuel cell. Waste heat can be used to distill ammonium bicarbonate into high (HC) and low salt concentration (LC) solutions for use in the RED stack, but nitrogen crossover into the anode chamber mu...
