An analysis of the turnover of the major phospholipids of Micrococcus cerificans growing or nongrowing cultures. The turnover rates of (14)C-PE and (14)C-PE were 61.5% of the total phospholipid, exhibited no significant rate of turnover in either growing or nongrowing cultures. The turnover rates of PE-(14)C and PE-(32)P were 3.2% per hr and 1.2% per hr, respectively. Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) ...

Methods: Patients were randomized to receive either supplemental oxygen or compressed air by nasal cannula at 2 L per minute. Physicians were blinded to the gas used and end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) data. Respiratory depression was defined a priori as oxygen saturation less than 90%, ETCO2 level greater than 50 mm Hg, an absolute change from baseline of 10 mm Hg, or loss of the ETCO2 waveform.

Methane was oxidized to carbon dioxide in the absence of oxygen by water samples from Lake Mendota, Madison, Wis. The anaerobic oxidation of methane did not result in the assimilation of carbon from methane into material precipitable by cold 10% trichloracetic acid. Only samples taken at the suface of the sediment of Lake Mendota were capable of catalyzine the anaerobic oxidation of methane. Th...

The ratio of carbon accumulation to transpiration, W, of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings increased with increasing soil strength, measured as soil penetrometer resistance, and this was already apparent at the two leaf stage. The ratio was negatively correlated with carbon isotope discrimination, in accord with theory. This means that decrease in intercellular partial pressure of CO(2) ac...

x-ray photoelectron and electron energy loss spectroscopic (xps-eels) studies reveal that the following species are present when a mixture of co2 and water vapour is exposed to the clean mg(100) surface at 110k: co3(a), c(a) ch(a), oh(a). the reactive chemisorptions of co2 and h2o vapour coadsorbed on a mg surface leads to the formation of ch bond. increasing the temperature to 400 k shows the ...

In this study, modeling of hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, methane and carbon dioxide sorption on UTSA-16 framework extrudates in the pressure swing adsorption process was carried out. The pure gas adsorption of these gases at the pressure range (0 to 80) bars at (298, 313, and 338) K have also been measured in a fixed bed. Langmuir, Toth, Sips, UNILAN, Virial and Dubinin-Astakhov adsorpti...

Six species of grass (four C3 and two C4) from southeastern Australian native pastures were grown in controlled environment cabinets at current (~370 !!mol CO2 mol-I) and twice current (~750 !!mol CO2 mol-I) cabinet [C02l. Photosynthetic gas exchange and aboveground biomass were estimated after seven weeks. Cabinet [C02l had a highly significant impact on above-ground biomass (P<0.0003) with pl...
