The introduction of glyphosate-tolerant (GT) crops is expected to mitigate the environmental contamination by herbicides because glyphosate is less persistent and toxic than the herbicides used on non-GT crops. Here, we compared the environmental balances of herbicide applications for both crop types in three French field trials. The dynamic of herbicides and their metabolites in soil, groundwa...

This paper presents a comprehensive overview on the current status of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) energy systems technology with deep insight into techno-energy performance. In recent years, SOFCs have received growing attention in scientific landscape high efficiency technologies. They are flexible, highly efficient, and environmentally sustainable. The working temperature makes it possible t...

Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are diverse enzymes organized into 65 families. X-ray crystallography and in silico studies have shown many of these to belong to two structural superfamilies: GT-A and GT-B. Through application of fold recognition and iterated sequence searches, we demonstrate that families 60, 62, and 64 may also be grouped into the GT-A fold superfamily. Analysis of conserved acidi...

Recent studies suggest that genetic polymorphisms of the estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha) gene may be associated with breast cancer risk. To evaluate the role of this gene in the risk of breast cancer, we genotyped a newly identified GT dinucleotide repeat [(GT)(n)] polymorphism located in the promoter region (6.6 kb upstream of the transcription start site) in 947 breast cancer cases and 993...

Precise modification by gene targeting (GT) provides an important tool for studies of gene function in vivo. Although routine with many organisms, only isolated examples of GT events have been reported for flowering plants. These were at low frequencies precluding reliable estimation of targeting efficiency and evaluation of GT mechanisms. Here we present an unambiguous and straightforward syst...

<p>This paper presents an approach for optimal generation capacity mix to fulfill future power demand using a micro-grid model which is operated in both the on-grid and off-grid modes. This achieved solar photovoltaic (PV) system, fuel-cell, battery energy storage system (BESS) with without grid-connected mode. Different control approaches size of generators are presented. Proposed micro ...

Mutations in the FAM161A gene were previously identified as the cause for autosomal-recessive retinitis pigmentosa 28. To study the effects of Fam161a dysfunction in vivo, we generated gene-trapped Fam161a(GT/GT) mice with a disruption of its C-terminal domain essential for protein-protein interactions. We confirmed the absence of the full-length Fam161a protein in the retina of Fam161a(GT/GT) ...

Background: Breast is a sensitive organ for women. In addition to pain, breast cancer can cause many psychological problems for the patient. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Gestalt Therapy (GT) and Gestalt therapy combined with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (GT-CBT) on the hope and pain intensity of women with breast cancer. Methods: It was a quasi-experimental study w...

Abstract The work is a case study of cruise ship supplied by liquefied natural gas (LNG) and equipped with solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). It supposed that 20 MW SOFC plant installed on-board to supply hotel loads assisting three dual-fuel (DF) diesel/LNG generator sets. LNG consumption emissions are estimated both for the DF results use LNG-SOFC in comparison sets allows limit significantly SO x...

Objective: In a grid-interactive (PV-SOFC) generation system, the inverter is main constituent. Further, quality of injected signal in utility depends upon control and synchronization. Thus, objective thispaper to single-phase for hybrid DC system obtain synchronization between grid renewable energy source (RES) inverted output signal. Methods/Statistical analysis: This paper suggests software ...
