Operators have spent $84 billion Canadian dollars in exploration, development, and production offshore Newfoundland, Canada, between 1966 2019, produced about 2 barrels of an estimated 3.3 recoverable oil. Four major projects been developed—Hibernia, Terra Nova, White Rose/North Amethyst, Hebron—using two development concepts, gravity-base structures floating storage offloading vessels. The reg...

The current work reports adsorption of Ni(II) using Brassica botrytis leaves (BBL), leaves-activated carbon (BBL-AC), Lycopersicon esculentum peel (LEP) and peel-activated (LEP-AC). was tested in batch experiments by varying different parameters such as pH, initial metal ion concentration, temperature, adsorbent dosage, contact time. Thermodynamics kinetics investigations were performed for Ni ...

Theory predicts the existence of barrierless protein folding. Without barriers, folding should be noncooperative and the degree of native structure should be coupled to overall protein stability. We investigated the thermal unfolding of the peripheral subunit binding domain from Escherichia coli's 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex (termed BBL) with a combination of spectroscopic ...

The nuclear option at THERA provides an ideal and unique opportunity to investigate the black body limit (BBL) of high energy Deep Inelastic Scattering of highly virtual photons off heavy nuclear targets and thereby probe QCD in a new regime. At high enough energies, whichever hadronic configuration the photon fluctuates into, the interaction at a given impact parameter with the heavy nuclear t...

Bobbed lethal (bbl) chromosomes carry too few ribosomal genes for homozygous flies to be viable. Reversion of bbl chromosomes to bb or nearly bb+ occurs under magnifying conditions at a low frequency in a single generation. These reversions occur too rapidly to be accounted for by single unequal sister chromatid exchanges and seem unlikely to be due to multiple sister strand exchanges within a ...

In contrast to the implications of the letter by Huang et al. (1), our previous work unambiguously showed that the protein BBL under denaturing conditions is a single, partly unfolded state (one-state folding) rather than a mix of folded and unfolded molecules (two-state folding) (2). This conclusion was based on ultrahigh-resolution single-molecule (sm) FRET experiments (>1 photon per microsec...

BACKGROUND Patients with aortic stenosis (AS) often have concomitant hypertension. Antihypertensive treatment with a β-blocker (Bbl) is frequently avoided because of fear of depression of left ventricular function. However, it remains unclear whether antihypertensive treatment with a Bbl is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events in patients with asymptomatic mild to moderate AS...

ALA: aminolevulinic acid BBL: broadband light IPL: intense pulse light Nd:YAG: neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet PDT: photodynamic therapy INTRODUCTION Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by noncaseating epithelioid cell granulomas. Skin involvement is seen in approximately onequarter of patients. Multiple cutaneous variants in sarcoidosis include lupus pernio, Lofgren s...

The effects of blueberry leaf (BBL) on lipid metabolism were studied in obese rats. Feeding of BBL lowered levels of serum lipids and C-reactive protein and alleviated hepatic triglyceride accumulation in the rats. The hypolipidemic effect might be attributable to a reduction of lipogenesis and enhancement of lipolysis in the liver. These results suggest the use of blueberry leaf as a dietary h...

The Brazilian Bankruptcy Law—Law No. 11,101 of 2005 (“BBL”)—has just celebrated its 10th anniversary.2 It replaced the outdated bankruptcy law that had been in force since 1945. The BBL promoted a major overhaul of the Brazilian corporate insolvency system. It ultimately shifted from a liquidation-oriented and outdated legislation to embrace modern principles of corporate restructuring designed...
