Abstract The construction of a SnO 2 and ZnO thin film heterostructure is an efficient way to improve the photocatalytic properties ZnO. However, current techniques produce it, for instance, chemical physical vapor deposition are expensive therefore not affordable everyone. Several efforts have been made in order obtain high quality films with lower cost using sol-gel base techniques. aim this ...

introduction: the pagat polymer gel dosimeter melts at 30 ˚c and even at room temperature during the summer, so it needs to be kept in a cool place such as a refrigerator. to increase the stability of the pagat gel, different amounts of agarose were added to the pagat gel composition and the pagata gel was manufactured. material and methods: the pagata gel vials were irradiated using a co-60 ma...

•COFs are shown to be frequently unstable in-plane mechanical shear•A method of COF monolith formation that enables hierarchical porosity is presented•Hierarchical mesopores enable improved gas uptake and selectivity•Hierarchical can accurately modeled via lattice-gas methods Porous materials used industrially as macroscopic pellets exhibiting interstitial space porosity. Although conventional ...

VGF mRNA is induced in specific hypothalamic areas of the Siberian hamster upon exposure to short photoperiods, which is associated with a seasonal decrease in appetite and weight loss. Processing of VGF generates multiple bioactive peptides, so the objective of this study was to determine the profile of the VGF-derived peptides in the brain, pituitary and plasma from Siberian hamsters, and to ...

conclusions our successful extraction of purified lps from e. coli isolates of uti patients’ urine samples can be an important step to understand the uti disease conditions. results the silver-stained gel demonstrated both smooth and rough type lps by showing trail-like band patterns with the presence and lacking o-antigen region, respectively. coomassie blue staining showed no band assuring th...

For intensive economy Republic Azerbaijan, gas production from fields in Caspian Sea basin onshore. In this regard, efficiency offshore onshore fields, improve system, work w...

BACKGROUND The appearance of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in the blood is ultimately caused by proteolytic processing of its precursor, proBNP. The mechanisms leading to the high plasma concentration of unprocessed proBNP are still poorly understood. The goals of the present study were to examine whether processing of proBNP takes place in the circulation and to evaluate the clearance rate ...

Mass spectrometry (MS) coupled to affinity purification is a powerful approach for identifying protein-protein interactions and for mapping post-translational modifications. Prior to MS analysis, affinity-purified proteins are typically separated by gel electrophoresis, visualized with a protein stain, excised, and subjected to in-gel digestion. An inherent limitation of this series of steps is...

This study investigated the effects of microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) and pH-shift processing on the functional properties of porcine myofibrillar proteins (MP). The pH-shift processing was carried out by decreasing the pH of MP suspension to 3.0, followed by re-adjustment to pH 6.2. The native (CM) and pH-shifted MP (PM) was reacted with and without MTGase, and the gelling and emulsion ch...
