Abstract Numerous harmful characteristics of wastewater containing pyridine chemical have a significant negative impact on human health. Therefore, it is preferred to remove from effluent. The derivatives are 2- and 4-picoline. In this work, an adsorption technique was used 4-picoline the Wastewater treated using natural adsorbent baggage fly ash (BFA). rate 82% reported at pH 6.22, BFA dosage ...

This paper presents a new Hybrid Particle Swarm optimization with Time Varying Acceleration Coefficients (HPSOTVAC) and Bacteria Foraging Algorithm (BFA) namely (PSOTVAC/BFA) base fuzzy stochastic long term approach for determining optimum location and size of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). The Monte Carlo simulation method is used to model the uncertainties associated with long-term load...

Insulin inhibition of the secretion of apolipoprotein B (apo B) was studied in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes by using brefeldin A (BFA), an inhibitor of protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus, and by using the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-K) inhibitor wortmannin. Incubation of hepatocytes with BFA (10 micrograms/ml) for 1 h inhibited the subseq...

We have studied the disassembly and assembly of two morphologically and functionally distinct parts of the Golgi complex, the cis/middle and trans cisterna/trans network compartments. For this purpose we have followed the redistribution of three cis/middle- (GMPc-1, GMPc-2, MG 160) and two trans- (GMPt-1 and GMPt-2) Golgi membrane proteins during and after treatment of normal rat kidney (NRK) c...

The first flagellar assembly checkpoint of Caulobacter crescentus couples assembly of the early class II components of the basal body complex to the expression of class III and IV genes, which encode extracytoplasmic structures of the flagellum. The transcription of class III/IV flagellar genes is activated by the response regulator factor, FlbD. Gain of function mutations in flbD, termed bfa, ...

Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP or amylin) is a normal secretory product of the pancreatic beta-cell that is cosecreted with insulin and is the major constituent of islet amyloid deposits in individuals with type 2 diabetes or insulinomas. We have previously reported that glucose stimulates IAPP, but not insulin secretion, from neonatal rat beta-cells when regulated secretion is prevented by us...

Immunolocalization of auxin using a new specific antibody revealed, besides the expected diffuse cytoplasmic signal, enrichments of auxin at end-poles (cross-walls), within endosomes and within nuclei of those root apex cells which accumulate abundant F-actin at their end-poles. In Brefeldin A (BFA) treated roots, a strong auxin signal was scored within BFA-induced compartments of cells having ...

The Brillouin fiber amplifier (BFA) has been used in Brillouin optical time (frequency) domain analyzer based sensors. The performance of this sensor depends on pump depletion which occurs when the threshold is reached and when the Brillouin gain is saturated. Although threshold definitions are common for Brillouin fiber generators (BFG), there is no explicit threshold definition for BFA. More ...

Correct positioning of membrane proteins is an essential process in eukaryotic organisms. The plant hormone auxin is distributed through intercellular transport and triggers various cellular responses. Auxin transporters of the PIN-FORMED (PIN) family localize asymmetrically at the plasma membrane (PM) and mediate the directional transport of auxin between cells. A fungal toxin, brefeldin A (BF...
