The European Green Deal declares climate neutrality as a goal for the year 2050. It establishes an EU binding target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55 percent 2030 compared 1990. market, through Emissions Trading Scheme, will determine how member states contribute this target. Effort Sharing Regulation defines national targets remaining GHG not covered ETS. In paper, energy optimization ...

disordered t-shaped graphene nanodevice (tgn) was designed and studied in this paper. we demonstrated the intrinsic transport properties of the tgn by using landauer approach. knowing the transmission probability of an electron the current through the system is obtained using landauer-buttiker formalism. the effects of single disorder on conductance, current and on the transport length scales a...

We investigate the causes of electron-circular dichroism (ECD) in bromocamphor and dibromocamphor, focusing specifically on the electron helicity density of the target. Using electron transmission spectroscopy (ETS) and quantum chemical calculations, we have observed and assigned temporary negative ion states of bromocamphor and dibromocamphor. Further calculations were conducted to determine t...

Maladaptive activation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been shown to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are critical signals for many of the nonhemodynamic effects of angiotensin II (ANG II). We have demonstrated that ANG II increases mesangial and cortical cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and activity via NADPH oxidase...

The objective of the present study was to gain insight into the cooperative roles of Ets-1 and p300 in transcriptional regulation and expression of the Npr1 gene (coding for guanylyl cyclase-A/natriuretic peptide receptor-A). Overexpression of Ets-1 and p300 in mouse mesangial cells increased Npr1 promoter activity by 12-fold, natriuretic peptide receptor-A mRNA levels by 5-fold, and ANP-depend...

In this paper we show that transcription factors Ets-1 and Ets-2 recruit transcription adapter proteins p300 and CBP (cAMP-responsive element-binding protein) during the transcriptional activation of the human stromelysin promoter, which contains palindromic Ets-binding sites. Ets-2 and p300/CBP exist as a complex in vivo. Two regions of p300/CBP between amino acids (a.a.) 328 and 596 and a. a....

This study was designed to assess in situ the effects of sediment nearness on Crassostrea gigas metabolism. One year-old oysters were reared for 5 months (April-August) in plastic bags on metallic frames at 10 and 60 cm off the sediment at the beginning of April. The management of the energetic resources (storage, consumption) was estimated with respect to biochemical changes of proteins, lipid...

The introduction of nonpolar solvent extraction procedures by Nason and Lehman (1, 2) has led to the recognition of the role of lipids and fat-soluble vitamins in the electron transport system of mitochondria. In addition to neutral lipids, phospholipids, and cholesterol, a-tocopherol also has been detected in mitochondria (3-5). Although vitamin K1 has been implicated in oxidative phosphorylat...
