Abstract:
... In this report accelerated weathering characteristics of a novel poly(phenylene ether) (PPE)-based thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), i.e. a blend of styrene–ethylene–butylenes–styrene (SEBS)/ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and PPE-polystyrene (PS), were studied in detail. Exterior and interior accelerated weathering protocols were followed during photooxidative weathering to simulate outdoor and indoor ...

Abstract:
... Gas circulation and fed-batch fermentation were applied for enhancing acetate production by mixed culture in a novel syntrophic acetogenesis and homoacetogenesis coupling system. The results show that the acetate yield in the fed-batch test with gas circulation is about 47% higher than that in the batch test without gas circulation. The fed-batch method helps to increase acetate yield by balancing ...

Abstract:
... Phenylanthraquinones belong to the quite rare class of fully unsymmetric biaryls, consisting of two different molecular portions, an anthraquinone part, chrysophanol, and a phenyl part, 2,4-dihydroxy-6-methoxyacetophenone, linked together by phenol-oxidative coupling. The biosynthesis of these two moieties, from eight and four acetate units, respectively, bears some unique features: Chrysophanol i ...

Abstract:
... The chloroplast ATP synthase gates the flow of protons out of the thylakoid lumen. In Chlamydomonas reinhardtii deletion of any of the genes for the ATP synthase subunits, or misfolding of the peptides results in photosynthetic membranes devoid of the enzyme (Lemaire and Wollman, J Biol Chem 264:675-685, 1989).

Abstract:
... Blood sausages are traditional products in many parts of the world. In most cases, a very short shelf-life limits their consumption to the areas in which they are produced. In this work, different mild preservation methods were applied to Morcilla de Burgos, a Spanish blood sausage, consisting of a range of organic acid salts (OAS) and high-pressure processing (HPP), with the aim of increasing its ...
