The resource endowment structure of being coal-rich and oil-poor makes China’s production coal-based ammonia urea, with a low cost good market, competitive advantage. However, the process suffers from high CO2 emissions energy efficiency carbon utilization due to mismatch hydrogen-to-carbon ratio between raw coal chemicals. Based on coal-to-urea (CTU) chemical looping technology for urea proces...

Zebrafish mutant belladonna (bel) carries a mutation in the lhx2 gene (encoding a Lim domain homeobox transcription factor) that results in a defect in retinotectal axon pathfinding, which can lead to uncrossed optic nerves failing to form an optic chiasm. Here, we report on a novel swimming behavior of the bel mutants, best described as looping. Together with two previously reported oculomotor...

Hybrid direct carbon/coal fuel cells (HDCFCs) utilise an anode based upon a molten carbonate salt with an oxide conducting solid electrolyte for direct carbon/coal conversion. They can be fuelled by a wide range of carbon sources, and offer higher potential chemical to electrical energy conversion efficiency and have the potential to decrease CO2 emissions compared to coal-fired power plants. I...
