Nitrogen dioxide is formed during delivery of inhaled nitric oxide for the treatment of patients with pulmonary hypertension. Soda lime has been shown to absorb nitrogen dioxide. We tested three different commercially available soda lime preparations (Sodasorb, Drägersorb 800 and Sofnolime) for their efficacy in absorbing nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide during simulated nitric oxide inhalatio...

Lymphocyte membrane rafts contain molecules critical for immunoreceptor signaling. Here, we report identification of a new raft-associated adaptor protein LIME (Lck-interacting molecule) expressed predominantly in T lymphocytes. LIME becomes tyrosine phosphorylated after cross-linking of the CD4 or CD8 coreceptors. Phospho-LIME associates with the Src family kinase Lck and its negative regulato...

A lime kiln is used to convert lime mud into lime for reuse in the causticizing plant of the kraft recovery process. Many of the problems encountered in lime kiln operations can be related to kiln chemistry, including TRS and SO2 emissions, dusting, ringing and refractory brick thinning. Understanding the composition and thermal behaviour of lime mud and the major chemical reactions involved is...

LIME (Lck-interacting membrane protein) is a transmembrane adaptor that associates with the Lck and Fyn protein tyrosine kinases and with the C-terminal Src kinase (Csk). To delineate the role of LIME in vivo, LIME-deficient mice were generated. Although Lime transcripts were expressed in immature and mature B and T cells, the absence of LIME impeded neither the development nor the function of ...

Soft marine clays are very sensitive to changes in the stress system, moisture content and system chemistry of the pore fluid. Geotechnical engineers feel a necessity to improve the behavior of these deposits using anyone of the available ground improvement techniques. In the present investigation an attempt has been made to improve the permeability of a marine clay using the lime column techni...

Alcohol dispersions of Ca(OH)2 nanoparticles, the so-called nanolimes, are emerging as an effective conservation material for the consolidation of stone, mortars, and plasters present in old masonry and/or mural paintings. To better understand how this treatment operates, to optimize its performance and broaden its applications, here we study the nano and microstructural characteristics, carbon...

The treatment of spent oil-in-water emulsion (SOWE) from a non-ferrous metal-processing plant by using aluminum sulfate and hydrated lime was studied in order to determine the purification efficiency, optimize the operating conditions and scale up the treatment process. The purification efficiency was estimated by comparing the compositions of the SOWE and the processed wastewater. The treatmen...

In this study, we identify and characterize a novel transmembrane adaptor protein, designated Lck-interacting membrane protein (LIME), as a binding partner of the Lck Src homology (SH)2 domain. LIME possesses a short extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail containing five tyrosine-based motifs. The protein is primarily expressed in hematopoietic cells and lung.
