in this research we used heavy propylene tetramer (hpt) and a1c13 —bf3 (lewis acids) ascatalyst and ethanol, n-propanol and n-butanol as co-catalyst. using lewis acids as catalyst, thehpts form molecules with higher molecular weight. since the raw materials of the reaction are byproducts of other reactions, are not pure and contain various compounds with different m.w andalso different chemical...

Two-stage riser catalytic cracking of heavy oil for maximizing propylene yield (TMP) process proposed by State Key Laboratory of Heavy oil Processing, China University of Petroleum, can remarkably enhance the propylene yield and minimize the dry gas and coke yields, and obtain high-quality light oils (gasoline and diesel). It has been commercialized since 2006. Up to now, three TMP commercial u...

The size, shape and distribution of different phases in thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) blends and composites are critical to the properties of the materials, but can be difficult to characterise. Here we report the combination of heavy metal staining and focused ion beam - scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) to reveal the three-dimensional (3D) structure of an elastomer-modified poly(propyle...

OBJECTIVE The leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor (LILR) family includes inhibitory and stimulatory members which bind to classical and non-classical HLA-class I. The ligands for many LILR including LILRB5 have not yet been identified. METHODS We generated C-terminal eGFP and N-terminal FLAG-tagged fusion constructs for monitoring LILR expression. We screened for LILR binding to HLA-class ...

MHC/peptide tetramer technology has been widely used to study antigen-specific T cells, especially for identifying virus-specific CD8+ T cells in humans. The tetramer molecule is composed of HLA heavy chain, beta2-microglobulin (beta2m), an antigenic peptide, and fluorescent-labeled streptavidin. To further investigate the HLA-A*1101-restricted CD8+ T cell responses against human cytomegaloviru...

Spectrin is a protein which serves to form the cytoskeletal network in cells for structural support. The protein forms tetramers consisting of two α and β subunits. This study’s objective is to investigate the possibility that β-heavy spectrin functions independently of α-spectrin to form higher order structures contrary to the classical tetramer-based structure found in erythrocytes. An in vit...
