This paper presents an experimental investigation on a four-stroke single cylinder diesel engine fuelled with the blends of Mahua oil methyl ester (MOME) and diesel. The performance emission, energy, and exergy analysis has been carried out in B20 (mixture of 80% diesel by volume with 20% MOME). From energy analysis, it was observed that the fuel energy input as well as energy carried away by e...

Consummatory feeding behaviors in Aplysia californica are controlled by a polymorphic central pattern generator (CPG) circuit. Previous investigations have demonstrated colocalization of markers for GABA and catecholamines within two interneurons, B20 and B65, that participate in configuring the functional output of this CPG. This study examined the contributions of GABA and dopamine (DA) to ra...

Currently, the main crop for biodiesel in Malaysia is palm oil. Recently, Jatropha curcas has drawn the attention of the Malaysian Government. This paper aims to study the feasibility of Jatropha as a potential biodiesel feedstock for Malaysia. Physico-chemical properties of Jatropha biodiesel and its blends with diesel followed by engine performance and emissions characteristics of B10, B20 an...

We used a nude mouse xenograft tumor model to compare the efficacy of unconjugated CD19 and CD20 mAbs (IgG2a subclass) in mediating antilymphoma effects. Treatment with the CD20 mAbs NKI-B20 and BCA-B20 resulted in a drastic decrease in tumor take rate (P < 0.0001) in comparison to controls, whereas the CD19 mAb CLB-CD19 was ineffective. Tumor growth rates were reduced by both CD19 and CD20 (P ...

With the vision and leadership of Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, the Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority (TARTA) and the Intermodal Transportation Institute (ITI) at The University of Toledo developed a long-term, large-scale comprehensive research project to understand and assess the impacts of using a mixture of renewable bio-fuel and diesel fuel (B20: 20% bio-fuel and 80% diesel) compared to...

Peroral cholangioscopy (PCS) has been performed in 22 cases using XCHF-B200 (Olympus Optical Co.) since June 1995 and in 77 cases using CHF-B20 (Olympus Optical Co.) after EST from Jan. 1989. XCHF-B200 has a longer rigid portion of distal end and a smaller channel diameter than CHF-B20. The successful rate of PCS using XCHF-B200 (82%) was lower than that of CHF-B20 (89%). The vascular pattern a...

Single crystals of the new compound Cu2Cd(B20 5) 0 have been prepared by B20 3/V 20 5 flux technique in a closed silver tube. Their structure is isotypic with Cu2Co(B20 5) 0 but its preparation is quite different. X-ray investigations on single crystals led to the space group C |h-P 2 !/c (Nr. 14), a = 339.9(2); b = 1509.8(2); c 927,0(1) pm; ß = 93.19(1)°; Z 4. The structure contains isolated B...

Byssochlamys sp. strain AF001 is a filamentous fungus isolated from fouled B20 biodiesel. Its growth on B20 biodiesel results in the degradation and fouling of the fuel and higher rates of corrosion in affected storage tanks. The genome of Byssochlamys sp. AF001 is 35.9 Mbp and is composed of 10 scaffolds, with a G+C content of 45.89%.

Single crystals of the new compounds CuLn2[B20 5]2 (Ln = Er3+(I), Lu3+(II)) were ob­ tained by a B9O 3 flux-technique. They crystallize in the space group C ih-P 2 \lc with I: a = 453.14(6); b = 721.94(5); c = 929.5(4) pm; ß = 90.01(3)°; Z = 2 und II: a = 451.4(4); b = 718.3(1); c = 928.1(3) pm; ß = 90.00(6)°; Z = 2. The compounds are isotypic to CuTm2[B20 5 ] 2 as well as to the mineral Gadoli...
