The purpose of this study is to investigate hot spots along roadways where high values of emissions are observed based upon real-world, on-road vehicle emissions measurements. A portable instrument, the OEM-2100 manufactured by Clean Air Technologies International, Inc., was used to measure on-road tailpipe emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), hydrocarbons (HC), and carbon diox...

The reconstruction of higher-dimensional NMR spectra from projections can provide significant savings in instrument time. Here, we demonstrate its application to the (4,3)D HC(CCO)NH and intra-HC(C)NH experiments. The latter experiment contains a novel intra-residue filter element, which selectively correlates the side chain resonances with the corresponding intra-residue amide resonances. Comp...

Recruitment of endogenous progenitors is critical during tissue repair. The inner ear utricle requires mechanosensory hair cells (HCs) to detect linear acceleration. After damage, non-mammalian utricles regenerate HCs via both proliferation and direct transdifferentiation. In adult mammals, limited transdifferentiation from unidentified progenitors occurs to regenerate extrastriolar Type II HCs...

The hippocampus is critical for forming new long-term memories, but the contributions of the hippocampal commissure (HC) to memory function and hippocampal synaptic plasticity are unclear. To shed light on this issue, we characterized behavioral memory and hippocampal synaptic plasticity in two inbred mouse strains. BALB/cWah1 mice display a range of corpus callosal defects and an intact HC, wh...

An innovative foam-based method for Fenton reagents (FR) and bacteria delivery was assessed the in situ remediation of a petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated unsaturated zone. The surfactant foam first injected, then reagent solutions were delivered propagated through network lamellae with piston-like effect. Bench-scale experiments demonstrated feasibility various treatments hydrocarbon (HC) rem...

Previous studies have shown that people who develop psychopathology such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following stress exposure are characterized by reduced hippocampal (HC) volume and impaired HC functional connectivity with the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC). Nevertheless, the exact interrelationship between reduced HC volume and HC-vmPFC connectivity deficits in the contex...

Antioxidants improve endothelial function in hypercholesterolemia (HC); however, whether this includes improvement of the vascular smooth muscle response to NO is unknown. NO relaxes arteries, in part, by stimulating Ca(2+) uptake via sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) in aortic smooth muscle, and HC impairs SERCA function and the response to NO. HC induces oxidative stress, whic...

The objective of this study was to determine the chemical compounds of Iranian propolis (IP) extracts and to show flavonoids and phenol effects on methane production, fermentation characteristics and rumen microbial population (in vitro). In this study two diets with different concentrate: forage ratios as (HC: high concentrate) and (MC: middle concentrate), respectively as non-supplemented or ...

Interaksi sinergis antara tanaman-bakteri dapat digunakan untuk meningkatkan kinerja fitoremediasi tanah yang terkontaminasi hidrokarbon (HC). Penelitian bertujuan karakterisasi plant growth promoting rhizobacteria: Azotobacter sp. dan Pseudomonas dalam limbah minyak bumi menggunakan tanaman sorgum (Sorghum bicolor L.). rancangan acak kelompok faktorial (RAK-Faktorial) terdiri dari inokulasi se...
