Nanospace-engineered carbons for reversible storage of natural gas and hydrogen by Romanos, J.

“…Early results on optimization of gravim. excess adsorption for undoped carbons, with KOH activation: 1.Excess adsorption and gravimetric storage capacity both increase with increasing KOH:C ratio and activation temperature. Excess adsorption dominated by KOH:C ratio. 2.Volumetric storage capacity decreases with increasing activation temperature. 3. 2.5K activated at 700 oC has record volumetric storage capacity of 132 g CH4/liter carbon at 35 bar and 22 oC (200 V/V, 110% of DOE target of 118 g/liter). …”

Fixed-interval versus OCT-guided variable dosing of intravitreal bevacizumab in the management of neovascular age-related macular degeneration by El-Mollayess, Georges M.

“…Results Compared to baseline, variable dosing had a mean improvement in BCVA of 11.0 letters after 12 months vs 9.2 letters for fixed-interval dosing (P = .81). Similarly, CRT decreased after 12 months by 80.7 μm for variable dosing vs 100.5 μm for fixed-interval dosing (P = .37). …”

The Effect of Atorvastatin (and Subsequent Metformin) on Adipose Tissue Acylation-Stimulatory-Protein Concentration and Inflammatory Biomarkers in Overweight/Obese Women With Polyc... by Thozhukat Sathyapalan (704787)

“…This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study where 40 medication-naive women with PCOS and biochemical hyperandrogenaemia were randomized to either atorvastatin 20 mg daily or placebo for 12 weeks. Following the 12 week randomization; both group of women with PCOS were subsequently started on metformin 1,500 mg daily for further 12 weeks to assess whether pre-treatment with atorvastatin potentiates the effects of metformin on markers of adipose tissue function We conducted a post-hoc review to detect plasma ASP and the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL6 and MCP-1 before and after 12 and 24 weeks of treatment.…”

Two-stage optimisation for malachite green removal using activated date pits by M. Hijab (14152095)

“…The surface areas and maximum malachite green adsorption capacities of the natural date stone and the phosphoric acid–treated date stone were 86 and 909 m2/g, respectively, and maximum malachite green adsorption capacities were 31.5 and 64.7 mg/g, respectively. A two-stage batch adsorber model was developed to optimize the two-step adsorption process to remove malachite green and minimize the amount of adsorbent used for both untreated and treated date stones. …”

Angiotensin II AT1 receptor internalization, translocation and de novo synthesis modulate cytosolic and nuclear calcium in human vascular smooth muscle cells by Sleiman, S.

“…Overexpression of hAT1R and hAT1R GFP decreased both basal cytosolic and nuclear Ca2+. In normal hVSMCs and low hAT1R GFP overexpressing hVSMCs, Ang II (10 15 to 10 4 M) induced a dose-dependent sustained increase of [Ca]c and [Ca]n with an EC50 near 5 × 10 11 and 5 × 10 9 M, respectively. …”

Methane production enhancement from Tetraselmis biomass co-digestion using frying oil residue as co-substrate and ultrasonication as pretreatment by Firas, Feki

“…Interestingly, compared to untreated Tetraselmis biomass, sonication pretreatment using specific energy of 1.6 kJ/g VS significantly improved specific methane production by 60.5%. However, increasing specific energy sonication to 3.2 kJ/g VS decreased the positive energy balance of whole process from 8.6 to 5.5 ± 0.3 kJ/g VS. …”
