A ZIF-9 membrane covered by ionic liquid (ILs) functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was grown using heat treatment of the layer-by-layer deposition method. This hybrid membrane exhibits a high selectivity for H2/CO2 due to the cooperative effect of ZIFs, CNTs and ILs.

In this paper, the thermal analysis of a membrane antenna structure is performed, and then, rigid-flexible coupling dynamic modeling control membrane-antenna-satellite system are studied with stress considered. The model derived based on finite element method by discretizing into 1D 2D elements. Considering stress, vibration modes obtained, hybrid coordinate method. To reduce caused attitude ma...

Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising hybrid thermal-membrane separation technology that can efficiently produce freshwater from seawater or contaminated wastewater. However, the relatively low flux and presence of fouling wetting agents in feed solution negate applicability MD for long term operation. In recent years, 'two-faced' membranes Janus have shown potential to decrease problem com...

A ZIF-9-67 hybrid membrane on α-Al(2)O(3) support was prepared using mixed-linker synthesis. The gas permeation and selectivity data demonstrate that this membrane may have potential applications for efficient CO(2) capture from several industrial mixtures.

The C2 domain of protein kinase Cα (PKCα) controls the translocation of this kinase from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane during cytoplasmic Ca signals. The present study uses intracellular co-imaging of fluorescent fusion proteins and an in vitro FRET membranebinding assay to further investigate the nature of this translocation. We find that Caactivated PKCα and its isolated C2 domain loca...

Here we introduce a form of chromatography that can be imposed on the membrane of a living cell. A cell-cell signaling interaction is reconstituted in a hybrid live cell-supported membrane junction. The chromatographic material consists of a hexagonally ordered array of gold nanoparticles (nanodot array), which is fabricated onto the underlying substrate. While individual membrane components mo...

This paper presents the application of membrane algorithms to broadcasting problems, which are regarded as NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. A membrane algorithm, called HPSOPS, is proposed by appropriately combining membrane systems and a hybrid particle swarm optimization with wavelet mutation (HPSOWM). HPSOPS is designed with the hierarchical membrane structure and transformation/...

Various aspects of the biogenetic mechanisms that are involved in the insertion of nascent plasma membrane proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane and their subsequent distribution through the cell have been investigated. For these studies chimeric genes that encode hybrid proteins containing carboxy-terminal portions of the influenza virus hemagglutinin (154 amino acids) or the v...

Pex19p is a protein required for the early stages of peroxisome biogenesis, but its precise function and site of action are unknown. We tested the interaction between Pex19p and all known Pichia pastoris Pex proteins by the yeast two-hybrid assay. Pex19p interacted with six of seven known integral peroxisomal membrane proteins (iPMPs), and these interactions were confirmed by coimmunoprecipitat...

Chitin is a major molecular pattern for various fungi, and its fragments, chitin oligosaccharides, are known to induce various defense responses in plant cells. A plasma membrane glycoprotein, CEBiP (chitin elicitor binding protein) and a receptor kinase, CERK1 (chitin elicitor receptor kinase) (also known as LysM-RLK1), were identified as critical components for chitin signaling in rice and Ar...
