Exergy analysis of an integrated molten carbonate fuel cell-turbo expander-steam turbine hybrid cycle has been presented in this study. The proposed cycle has been used as a sustainable energy approach to provide a micro hybrid power plant with high exergy efficiency. To generate electricity by the mentioned system, an externally reformed molten carbonate fuel cell located upstream of the combi...

secreted cytokines of th1 (t-helper)/th2 cells play an important role in the pathogenesis of many diseases. th1 cells secrete predominantly ifn-γ and il-2 which regulate cell-mediated immunity against intracellular pathogens and tumors. in this study, expression of ifn-γ was studied using semiquantitative rt-pcr. in brief, lymphocytes of a healthy donor were stimulated with pha (1μg/106 cell/ml...

the ple2scx vector was developed for the stable expression of exogenous genes in the protozoan parasite leishmania. the ple2scx construct contains three independent selection markers: herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (hsv-tk), cytosine deaminase (cd) and streptothericin acetyltransferase gene (sat) in multiple cloning site, flanking by 5’ and 3’ untranslated regions of the previously clone...

a rapid isocratic method of high performance liquid chromatography system (hplc) with a glassy carbon working electrode of electrochemical detector is set up for quantitative detection of  trace amount of nitrite ion (no2¯) in aqueous protein containing cell lysate, cell media, plasma, serum, urine and other body fluids. the solid extraction  reversed phase cartridges (sep-pak) are used for dep...
