Understanding the Landscape of Oil and Gas Transportation

The oil and gas transportation sector plays a vital role in ensuring that raw materials and refined products reach markets and end users safely and efficiently. This part of the energy value chain involves a complex network of pipelines, trucks, ships, and railways that move petroleum…Read more

In addition, the in-plane biaxial strain can monotonically tune the band gap of the boron-phosphide monolayer. The band gap increases with the increasing tension strain, while it decreases as the compression strain increases. Our results suggest that the defects and in-plane strain are effective for tuning the electronic properties of the…Read more

These data suggest a novel role of TWIST1 in the regulation of SMC homeostasis by modulating p68/microRNA-143/145 axis.

Myelomeningocele (MMC) is the most severe and frequent type of spina bifida. Its etiology remains poorly understood. The Hedgehog (Hh), Wnt, and planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling pathways are essential for normal tube…Read more

A ‘turn-on’ fluorescence method for detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) in marine food samples is presented in this article. Using this method, a carbon dots (CDs)-MnO2 probe was formed in which fluorescence intensity (FI) of CDs was quenched through fluorescence resonance energy transfer by addition of MnO2 nanosheets. When H2 O2 was added…Read more

Surfactant-enhanced remediation (SER) is an efficient and low-cost technology for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contaminated sites. This study assessed the desorption processes and effects of Heterogemini surfactant (Dodecyldimethylammonium bromide/tetradecyldimethylammonium bromide, DBTB), two traditional surfactants (Hexadecyl…Read more

RNA polymerase II subunit A Carboxy-Terminal Domain Phosphatase 1 (CTDP1), a member of the haloacid dehalogenase superfamily phosphatases, has a defined role in transcriptional regulation, but emerging evidence suggests an expanded functional repertoire in the cell cycle and DNA damage response. In humans, a splice site mutation in CTDP1 gives…Read more

The most pronounced differences in functional distance during nitrous oxide sedation were observed in the alpha1 and alpha2 frequency bands. Change in 1/f dynamics indicates that changes in brain network systems occur during nitrous oxide administration. Changes in network parameters imply that nitrous oxide interferes with the efficiency of…Read more

Local administration of growth-inhibiting substances such as paclitaxel or sirolimus could reduce the risk of restenosis. In the drug coated balloon (DCB) technology the coating and the applied dose seem to play a major role. The aim of the present preclinical studies was to investigate the efficacy and safety of a specific DCB with paclitaxel as…Read more
