Analysis of the roles of the short chain fatty acid receptor, free fatty acid 3 receptor (FFA3), has been severely limited by the low potency of its endogenous ligands, the crossover of function of these on the closely related free fatty acid 2 receptor, and a dearth of FFA3-selective synthetic ligands. From a series of hexahydroquinolone-3-carboxamides, we demonstrate that 4-(furan-2-yl)-2-met...

This paper takes a doubting, though friendly, look at the hypotheses of “second generation deciine” and “segmented assimiiation” that have framed the emerging research agenda on the new second generation. We begin with a review of the basic approach, outlining the logic of argument, and specifying the central contentions.We then head toward the past, in search of material that will illuminate b...

A laboratory-scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) was fed with synthetic wastewater to investigate the possibility of simultaneous removal of organic, nitrogen and phosphorus by intermittent aeration. The MBR consists of two compartments using a microfiltration membrane with 0.2 μm pore size and a surface area of 0.35 m2. Hydraulic retention time was set at 24 hours and solid retention time 25 days....

The activity of invertase and its relation to growth were studied in the epicotyls of lentil seedlings incubated in the presence and absence of gibberellic acid (GA(3)).Invertase activity per epicotyl increases relatively more rapidly than does length, reaches a maximum during most active elongation, and declines upon cessation of growth.GA(3) enhances both growth and increase in invertase acti...

We present measurements of the transverse momentum spectra for K 0 S , Λ , Ξ − and their antiparticles in p+p collisions at √ s = 200 GeV. The extracted mid-rapidity yields and pT are in agreement with previous p + ¯ p experiments while they have smaller statistical errors. We compare the measured particle spectra and pT values to predictions from the PYTHIA leading order pQCD model (v6.221) an...
