Brazil’s large biofuels industry generates significant amounts of effluents, e.g., vinasse from bioethanol, that can effectively be used as substrate for production biogas via Anaerobic Digestion (AD). The Oxidative Coupling Methane (OCM) is the heterogeneous catalytic oxidation methane into ethylene, which a main building block chemical industry. This work investigates potential and competitiv...

PURPOSE Prostate cancer metastasizes to the skeleton to form osteoblastic lesions. Androgen ablation is the current treatment for metastatic prostate cancer. This therapy is palliative, and the disease will return in an androgen-independent form that is preceded by a rising titer of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Here, we investigated the possibility that human osteoblasts might secrete facto...

Gabor-domain optical coherence microscopy (GD-OCM) is a volumetric high-resolution technique capable of acquiring three-dimensional (3-D) skin images with histological resolution. Real-time image processing is needed to enable GD-OCM imaging in a clinical setting. We present a parallelized and scalable multi-graphics processing unit (GPU) computing framework for real-time GD-OCM image processin...

We report the enhancement in imaging performance of a spectral-domain optical coherence microscope (OCM) in turbid media by incorporating an optical parametric amplifier (OPA). The OPA provides a high level of optical gain to the sample arm, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the OCM by a factor of up to 15 dB. A unique nonlinear confocal gate is automatically formed in the OPA, whi...

Selective coupling of methyl radicals to produce C 2 species (C H 4 and 6 ) is a key challenge for oxidative methane (OCM). In traditional OCM reaction systems, homogeneous transformation in O -containing gases are uncontrollable, resulting limited selectivity yield. Herein, we demonstrate that generated by La 3 at low temperature can selectively couple on the surface 5 wt% Na WO /SiO . The con...

We report an imaging study using integrated 3D-OCT and OCM for the assessment of various human thyroid and breast pathologies. The 3D-OCT data sets enable en face projection imaging, which provides large field of view with uniform focus and signal level, while OCM provides high magnification that enables cellular resolution imaging. We have demonstrated that the integrated 3D-OCT and OCM techno...

for more than three decades, oxidative coupling of methane (ocm) process has been comprehensively investigated as an attractive alternative for the commercially available ethylene production technologies such as ethane and naphtha cracking. developing a suitable catalyst and proper reactor feeding policy, reviewing and deploying the efficient methods in the separation and purification of the un...

One-carbon metabolism (OCM) is linked to DNA synthesis and methylation, amino acid metabolism and cell proliferation. OCM dysfunction has been associated with increased risk for various diseases, including cancer and neural tube defects. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ∼ 22 nt RNA regulators that have been implicated in a wide array of basic cellular processes, such as differentiation and metabolism. Ac...

In this paper we present an approach to building a monitoring environment which underlies performance visualization for distributed applications. Our focus is to make the J-OCM monitoring system and the TAU-Paravis performance visualization system to collaborate. J-OCM, based on the J-OMIS interface, provides services for on-line monitoring of distributed Java applications. The system uses J-OC...
