Syntaxin is one of several proteins that may be involved in the docking of synaptic vesicles, synaptic vesicle recycling, and non-synaptic membrane trafficking. Presence of syntaxin has been reported in rat auditory and vestibular end organs. In the current study, we have examined the expression of message for syntaxin 1 in hair cells of the sacculus of the rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, w...

Anode activity in vacuum arc plays a very important role in both characteristics of vacuum arc and the interruption capacity of vacuum interrupters. In this paper, the transient thermal processes of anode in vacuum arc in a half of arc current cycle with frequency of 50 Hz are simulated by finite element analysis software, ANSYS. Some important phenomena of anode, e.g., the melt and solidificat...

An electrospray ionization ion source coupled to a time-of-flight mass analyzer incorporating a multi-anode time-to-digital converter is described. High-speed data acquisition (kHz mass spectral acquisition) rates are achieved. The four-anode detector produces a significant increase in detection/counting efficiency over that for a single-anode detector. In this work a 2.5 times increase in dete...

microbial electrolysis cell (mec) is one of the promising and cutting-edge technologies for generating hydrogen from wastewater through biodegradation of organic waste by exoelectrogenic microbes. in the mecs, the operational parameters, such as applied voltage (eap), anode surface area, anode-cathode distance, and n2/co2 volume ratio have a significant impact on the hydrogen yield and producti...

Sustainable fashion in all its guises, has been the preoccupation of many a recent campaign, article, research and initiative. Not only is the industry increasingly aware of the need to cut its environmental impact, but also consumers and consumer organisations are putting pressures on various parts of the supply chain to comply with environmental and ethical practices. Yet, from a management p...

in this paper, using a one-dimensional simulation model, the reforming process of sour gas, i.e. ch4, co2, and h2s, to the various charged particles and syngas in a dielectric barrier discharge (dbd) reactor is studied. an electric field is applied across the reactor radius, and thus a non-thermal plasma discharge is formed within the reactor. based on the space-time coupled finite element meth...

According to circumstance of kerman sarcheshmeh cooper complex that its anode slime is mainly consisted of Cu, Ag, Au, Pb and Se. In this work, recovery of silver from anode slime and subsequent synthesis of silver nanoparticles from leaching solution was made. Silver was separated from anode slime by using of HNO3 and HCl. X-Ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) was used to characterize anode sl...

Conventional fermentation technologies are limited due to low reactor productivity, low product yield, and low product concentration mainly due to product inhibition. There are several ways of improving the overall behavior of a biotechnological process. The cells can be modified so that the product is excreted prior to reaching inhibiting concentrations. Furthermore, a selective mutation of th...

Environmental concerns push for a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and technologies with low carbon footprint. In the transportation sector, this drives transition toward electric vehicles (EVs), which are nowadays mainly based on lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). As number of produced EVs is rapidly growing, large amount waste expected future. Recycling seems to be one most promising end-of-l...

This study compared the difference in microbial community and power generation capacity of air-cathode MFCs enriched under anode aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Results showed that MFCs successfully started with continuous air inputting to anode chamber. The aerobic enriched MFC produced comparable and even more electricity with the fuels of acetate, glucose and ethanol compared to the anaero...
