Blockchain technology is well known due to the advent of Bitcoin. With development recent years, blockchain has been widely used in medicine, digital currency, energy, etc. The practical Byzantine fault-tolerant (PBFT) algorithm a consensus consortium blockchains. Aiming address problems PBFT algorithm, low efficiency high communication complexity, and malicious behavior primary node leading fa...

25 Laurentia Gales 258 Șos.Fundeni, 2nd District, Bucharest, Romania e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Boron neutron capture theory (BNCT) is a binary therapy applied in malignant tumours, resistant to other treatment methods, namely chemotherapy and radiotherapy. One of the main components is Bor-10, a stable isotope that can be inserted in the tumour cells by using specific transpor...

Currently, Pt-M bimetallic alloy nanoparticles like PtMo, PtRu, PtW and PtNi have shown promise for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) applications, due to their high electrocatalytic activity and CO tolerance on pristine carbon supports. Meanwhile, our previous research has indicated that Pt nanoparticles are significantly stabilized on boron-doped carbon supports. In this work, we u...

The V-ATPase is a proton pump consisting of a membrane-integral V0 sector and a peripheral V1 sector, which carries the ATPase activity. In vitro studies of yeast vacuole fusion and evidence from worms, flies, zebrafish and mice suggested that V0 interacts with the SNARE machinery for membrane fusion, that it promotes the induction of hemifusion and that this activity requires physical presence...

The electronic and structural properties of pristine and carbon doped (C-doped) boron nitride nano-ribbons (BNNRs) have been studied employing density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Total energies, gap energies, dipole moments, and quadrupole coupling constants (qcc) have been calculated in the optimized structures of the investigated BNNRs. The results indicated that the stability and g...
