We propose here a program of searches for degenerate electro-weakinos in various final state search topologies. In particular we emphasize the usefulness of searching for mass degenerate charginos and neutralinos in the mono-Z search channel. We demonstrate that the mono-Z search supercedes the mono-jet and mono-photon search topologies and present arguments using effective operators to explain...

Glycerol kinase plays a critical role in metabolism by converting glycerol to glycerol 3-phosphate in an ATP dependent reaction. In humans, glycerol kinase deficiency results in a wide range of phenotypic variability; patients can have severe metabolic and CNS abnormalities, while others possess hyperglycerolemia and glyceroluria with no other apparent phenotype. In an effort to help understand...

Candida albicans accumulates large amounts of the polyols glycerol and d-arabitol when the cells are exposed to physiological conditions relevant to stress and virulence in animals. Intracellular concentrations of glycerol are determined by rates of glycerol production and catabolism and of glycerol uptake and efflux through the plasma membrane. We and others have studied glycerol production in...

Molecular dynamics simulations and infrared spectroscopy were used to determine the hydrogen bond patterns of glycerol and its mixtures with water. The ability of glycerol/water mixtures to inhibit ice crystallization is linked to the concentration of glycerol and the hydrogen bonding patterns formed by these solutions. At low glycerol concentrations, sufficient amounts of bulk-like water exist...

The levels of 1,3-propanediol dehydrogenase and of the glycerol dehydrogenase in Clostridium butyricum grown on glucose-glycerol mixtures were similar to those found in extracts of cells grown on glycerol alone, which can explain the simultaneous glucose-glycerol consumption. On glycerol, 43% of glycerol was oxidized to organic acids to obtain energy for growth and 57% to produce 1,3-propanedio...

Glycerolysis-interesterification can be used for the synthesis of products containing high total Mono- and Diacylglycerol (MDAG). Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate rich in MDAG content using glycerolysis-interesterification method High Shear Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (HS-CSTR). The impact varying material flow rates (6, 10, 14, 18, 22 mL/min) processing time on concentration MDAG, p...

High impact polystyrene (HIPS)/corn starch blends were prepared in presence of glycerol as a plasticizer via melt extrusion process by a twin-screw extruder. The novelty of this work is first, because of the use of pre-gelatinized corn starch as modified one and second, the procedure of making blends by extruder which makes it ease of access and also industrially possible. The blends were then ...
