Multibiomass and Natural Marine Waste Catalyst Copyrolysis: Exploring Synergy, Isoconversional Kinetics, Thermodynamics, and Mechanism by Sabah Mariyam (14150859)

“…Mixing the feeds led to positive synergistic effects, particularly at a heating rate of 10 K/min or higher. By employing three model-free kinetic methods, the estimated activation energy (Ea) was lower for the ternary feed than the single feeds, and 20 wt.% of the feed with SS and CB catalysts was added. …”

PGE2 induces COX-2 expression in podocytes via the EP4 receptor through a PKA-independent mechanism by Faour, Wissam

“…Time course experiments carried out in conditionally-immortalized mouse podocytes revealed that PGE2 transiently increased phosphorylated p38 MAPK levels at 10 min, and induced COX-2 protein expression at 4 h. siRNA-mediated knockdown of EP4 receptor expression, unlike treatment with the EP1 receptor antagonist SC 19220, completely abrogated PGE2-induced p38 phosphorylation and COX-2 upregulation suggesting the involvement of the EP4 receptor subtype. …”

Effects of natural organic matter on aggregation kinetics of boron nanoparticles in monovalent and divalent electrolytes by Liu, Xuyang

“…However, the attachment efficiency kept increasing in the presence of CaCl2 and alginate with the increase in the electrolyte concentration and was greater than unity at >4 mM CaCl2. The destabilization was attributed to bridging of the nanoparticles by the alginate–Ca2+ system. …”
