The basolateral Na-H antiporter of the turtle colon exhibits both conductive and electroneutral Na+ transport (Post and Dawson. 1992. American Journal of Physiology. 262:C1089-C1094). To explore the mechanism of antiporter-mediated current flow, we compared the conditions necessary to evoke conduction and exchange, and determined the kinetics of activation for both processes. Outward (cell to e...

Proton exchange membranes for fuel cells were synthesized from the blend of copolymers of vinyl acetate-acrylic ester and styrene-acrylic ester, which were modified by sulfonation and addition of silica gel. Water uptake, ion exchange capacity, infrared spectroscopy and tensile tests were applied to characterize the prepared membranes. The results show that the prepared membranes with the proce...

output characteristics of fuel cells are affected by a large number of parameters such as geometry, dimensions, construction materials and conditions of supplying fluids. in this paper a mathematical model followed by a two-dimensional numerical approach has been presented to study the fuel cell parametrically. effect of oxygen concentration at gas diffusion layer entrance, temperature and pres...

We show that the asymmetry in the fractional energy of charm versus an-ticharm jets produced in high energy diffractive photoproduction is sensitive to the interference of the Odderon (C = −) and Pomeron (C = +) exchange amplitudes in QCD. We predict the dynamical shape of the asymmetry in a simple model and estimate its magnitude to be of the order 15% using an Odd-eron coupling to the proton ...

The experimental evidence presented in this manuscript suggest against the widely accepted single electron/proton transfer mechanism for P450 catalyzed N-dealkylations and provides strong support for a hydrogen atom abstraction mechanism.
