Coastal environment is controlled by a complex interaction of physical, chemical, biological, and geological processes. Physical processes are responsible for controlling the transport and distribution of all dissolved and suspended matters in coastal waters. A comprehensive understanding of these processes is crucial to the design and implementation of management strategies that track ecosyste...

Modern China has been linked with the proliferation of nuclear, chemical, and missile weapons technology to states of proliferation concern, and its compliance with arms control and disarmament is seen as key to the effectiveness of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) nonproliferation efforts. In this context, the answer to Gerald Segal’s question, “Does China really matter?” is most definitely, ...

The usefulness of the radiomicrometer in the study of reactions involving a marked color change was indicated in a previous paper (1). It was there shown that the starch-iodine reaction could be investigated in this way. The present paper reports further observations on the reaction, which bear upon the problem of the chemical specificity of some starches and upon the nature of starch-iodide. T...

Sulfhydryl reagents, as well as mild hydrogen peroxide oxidation, do not inhibit the activity of yeast phosphoglycerate kinase, indicating that the single thiol group and 3 methionine residues present in the enzyme are not essential for activity. Nitration of phosphoglycerate kinase by tetranitromethane inhibits the enzyme by reaction with a single tyrosine residue. Substrates provide partial p...

The MIT Faculty has made this article openly available. Please share how this access benefits you. Your story matters. DNA alkylation can cause mutations, epigenetic changes, and even cell death. All living organisms have evolved enzymatic and non-enzymatic strategies for repairing such alkylation damage. AlkB, one of the Escherichia coli adaptive response proteins, uses an α-ketoglutarate/Fe(I...

Abstract Condensed matters with high ionic conductivities are crucial in various solid devices such as solid-state batteries. The conduction is characterized by the cooperative motion associated carrier density. However, cost of computing correlated has forced almost all ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) to rely on Nernst–Einstein dilute-solution approximation, which ignores cross-correlation e...

Background & Aims of the Study: Pharmaceutical wastewater is one of the major complex and toxic industrial effluents that contain little or no biodegradable organic matters. Materials & Methods: In this study, H2O2/UV base advance oxidation process (AOP) was used to remove organic materials from pharmaceutical industry effluent. Experiments were conducted for the chemical...
