Ni-doped Mo carbide with Ni/Mo atomic ratio of 0.1 was supported on SiO2, Al2O3, and a porous carbon material (C), using combination gel combustion impregnation methods. XRD, XPS, XANES, EXAFS analyses indicated that the main active sites for catalysts were metallic nickel carbides. The evaluated in furfural hydrogenation to produce 2-methylfuran (2-MF) batch reactor at 150 °C under hydrogen pr...

straightforward indexes of identity. This lacks analytic validity but reveals the linguistic ideologies upon which the politics of nationalism often turn (Bauman and Briggs 2003). Following Stewart (2001), we should be cautious of modern notions that linguistic form (e.g., Bengali discourse full of Sanskritor Perso-Arabic-derived words) directly reflects an author’s politico-religious stance or...

Chemical Buffering Extracellular buffers, including plasma proteins, phosphates, and bicarbonate, are the earliest defense against acidosis. The most prominent extracellular buffer is bicarbonate, which is highly abundant and acts as a dynamic buffer by independently regulating Pco2 through changes in alveolar ventilation. This feature increases buffering capacity by more than 10-fold. Bufferin...

An enzymatic assay for plasma homocysteine was developed that uses a crude lysate of E. coli containing the recombinant enzyme, methionine γ-lyase. The assay uses a commercially available fluorophore and 96-well microtiter plates; it can be performed manually or with the TECAN automated analyzer. The CVs for within-run and between-run precision are <10%. Close correlation (r >0.9) was obtained ...

Although the abundant sterile alpha motif (SAM) domain was originally classified as a protein-protein interaction domain, it has recently been shown that certain SAM domains have the ability to bind RNA, defining a new type of post-transcriptional gene regulator. To further understand the function of SAM-RNA recognition, we determined the solution structures of the SAM domain of the Saccharomyc...

Micrographia is a common symptom in Parkinson’s disease, which manifests as either a consistent or progressive reduction in the size of handwriting or both. Neural correlates underlying micrographia remain unclear. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate micrographia-related neural activity and connectivity modulations. In addition, the effect of attention and dopaminergic ...

Ephrin-Eph signaling is involved in axon guidance during development, but it may also regulate synapse development after the axon has contacted the target cell. Here we report that the activation of ephrin-B reverse signaling in the developing Xenopus laevis optic tectum promotes morphological and functional maturation of retinotectal synapses. Elevation of ephrin-B signaling increased the numb...
