In this work we present a targeted gene expression strategy employing trinucleotide threading (TnT) amplification and massive parallel sequencing. We have previously shown that TnT combined with array readout accurately monitors expression levels. However, with this detection strategy spurious products go undetected. Accordingly, we adapted the TnT protocol to massive parallel sequencing to acq...

A Pt@TNT catalyst with Pt nanoparticles entrapped in titanate nanotubes (TNT) was prepared by hydrophobic modification of the exterior surface of the TNT and impregnation with hexachloroplatinic acid (H2PtCl6) aqueous solution. The catalyst's enhanced activity towards the hydrogenation of phenol (as high as ∼3200 gphenol h(-1) gPt(-1) of qTOF) can be ascribed to the confinement effect.

Limitations of creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) have led to alternative biochemical markers, including troponin T (TnT), to detect myocardial necrosis. Limited data are available regarding the predictive value of this new marker in patients with chest pain of uncertain etiology. Therefore, we prospectively compared CK-MB and TnT in a broad population with suspected acute coronary syndromes, including...

[We report of the procedures of developing a large representative corpus of 50,000 sentences taken from clinical notes. Previous reports of annotated corpus of clinical notes have been small and they do not represent the whole domain of clinical notes. The sentences included in this corpus have been selected from a very large raw corpus of ten thousand documents. These ten thousand documents ar...

Composition B is a melt-castable explosive consisting of RDX crystals in a TNT matrix. At elevated temperatures, the TNT can flow or even melt, which affects the particle distribution and therefore the detonation propagation. To study this phenomenon, rate stick experiments were conducted at ambient conditions, at temperatures below the TNT melt, and at temperatures above the TNT melt. We field...

This work reports a rapid, simple and low-cost voltammetric sensor based on dummy molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) that uses 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) as template for the quantification of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) DNP, identification related substances. Once was synthesised by thermal precipitation polymerisation, it integrated onto graphite epoxy composite (GEC) electrode via sol–gel immob...

In this study titanium dioxide nanotube (TNT) arrays were prepared by an anodic oxidation process with post-calcination. The morphology and structure of the TNT films were studied by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Photocatalytic activity of the TNT films was evaluated in terms of the degradation of 2,3-di...
