These experiments were designed to give the dynamic electrolysis conditions of fluidized beds by the use of small palladium particles. Both direct current electrolysis and pulse power electrolysis methods were used in this study. The excess power observed was 90 mW for direct current electrolysis in D2O + 0.1 M LiOD (I=0.300 to 0.400 A). For pulse electrolysis (pulse width 1.0 μs, pulse frequen...

Water electrolysis is one of the simplest methods used for hydrogen production. It has the advantage of being able to produce hydrogen using only renewable energy. To expand the use of water electrolysis, it is mandatory to reduce energy consumption, cost, and maintenance of current electrolyzers, and, on the other hand, to increase their efficiency, durability, and safety. In this study, moder...

Objective(s): As T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (TIM-3) is an immune regulatory molecule; its blocking or stimulating could alter the pattern of immune response towards a desired condition. Based on the unique features of nanobodies, we aimed to construct an anti-TIM-3 nanobody as an appropriate tool for manipulating immune responses for future therapeutic purposes. Materials and Meth...

Due: Thursday Dec 14, 2006 Late penalties: The term ends on Dec 15, 2006.

This paper deals with the application of electrolysis technology for the selective control of marine algal species. The sensitivity of different marine algal species to electrolysis may be different due to their size and structural differences. Electrolysis experiments were conducted using four algal species, namely Chlorella spp., Chaetoceros spp., Isochrysis spp. and Tetraselmis spp. Batch an...

background: multiple sclerosis (ms) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (cns) caused by autoreactive t cells against myelin antigens. t-cell immunoglobulin mucin -3 (tim-3) is a negative regulator glycoprotein expressed by a range of immune cells, including, th1 cells, activated cd8+ t cells and in a lower level on th17 cells. a defect in tim-3 regulation has been shown in mu...

The development of the Chinese neodymium oxide electrolysis which replaced the chloride and fluoride electrolysis in the 1980s is described. Industrial data of the running neodymium electrolysis are given with scientific research references about the process. The new Chinese development of a horizontal electrode cell design is presented and concluded with a worldwide outlook.

Ovomucoid (OMC) is the most prominent allergen causing hen's egg allergy, containing disulfide (S-S) bonds that may be responsible for its allergic action. As S-S bonds may be reduced during electrolysis, this study was undertaken to evaluate modulation of the allergic action of OMC after electrolysis. Electrolysis was carried out for 1% OMC containing 1% sodium chloride for 30 minutes with a v...

By the use of Cr-39 particle track detectors immersed in the electrolyte, we confirm that a nuclear reaction of as-yet unknown nature can take place during electrolysis. With Li2SO4 dissolved in D2O or H2O and either Pd or Ni as cathodes, a very large statistical difference in nuclear track generation is found between detector chips immersed during electrolysis and the control chips immersed in...

Coupled electro-thermal field exists widely in chemical batteries and electrolysis industry. In this study, a three-dimensional numerical model, which is based on the finite-element software ANSYS, has been built to simulate the electro-thermal field in a magnesium electrolysis cell. The adjustment of the relative position of the anode and cathode can change the energy consumption of the magnes...
