Exploring carbon dioxide sequestration in desalination reject brine via NaOH reaction: A kinetics study by Nafis Mahmud (14150004)

“…The effect of various operating parameters, such as the temperature, CO₂ concentration, NaOH dosage, brine salinity, CO₂ flowrates and inert particles volume percent were investigated by varying them within the range of 15–55 °C, 3–20 %, 6–16 g/L, 5–72 g/L, 1–5 L/min and 0–20%, respectively. The experimental data showed that the overall rate of CO₂ conversion is equal to the sum of the rates observed for Ca2+ and Mg²+ carbonation reactions and increases proportionally with the increase in CO₂ concentration. …”

Cytotoxicity of Anthrax Lethal Toxin to Human Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells Is Nonapoptotic and Dependent on Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase 1/2 Activity by Abi-Habib, Ralph J.

“…Flow cytometry analysis of MAPK pathway activation revealed the presence of phospho-ERK1/2 only in LeTx-sensitive cells. Staining for Annexin V/propidium iodide and active caspases showed an increase in double-positive cells and the absence of caspase activation following treatment, indicating that LeTx-induced cell death is caspase-independent and nonapoptotic. …”
