The central pore of a nuclear pore complex (NPC) is filled with unstructured proteins that contain many FG-repeats separated by hydrophilic regions. An example of such protein is nsp1. By simulating an array of nsp1 segments, we identified, in an earlier study, a spontaneously formed brushlike structure that promises to explain selective transport in the NPC channel. Here we report four (350,00...

Synthesis gas manufacturing by steam reforming of hydrocarbons is an important industrial process. High endothermic nature of the process makes it one of the most cost and heat intensive processes. In the present work, composite effect of different inert gases on synthesis gas yield, feed gas conversion and temperature distribution along the reactor length has been studied using a heterogeneous...

Given a mixing shift of finite type X , we consider which subshifts of finite type Y ⊂ X can be realized as the fixed point shift of an inert involution of X . We establish a condition on the periodic points of X and Y that is necessary for Y to be the fixed point shift of an inert involution of X . We show that this condition is sufficient to realize Y as the fixed point shift of an involution...

a new cesium ion selective pvc membrane based on parent calix [4] arene was developed for potentiometric determination of cesium in environmental samples. the electrode based on p-5,11,17,23tetra(tertbutyl) 25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxy calix[4]arene(thc) as ionophor ,dibutyl phthalate (dbp)as plasticizer ,sodium tetra phenyl borate(natpb)and oleic acid as lipophilic salt and additive showed the ...

a poly(vinyl chloride) membrane based on a new a-dioxime derivative as membrane carrier was prepared andinvestigated as a cr(iii) selective electrode. the electrode exhibits a good potentiometric response for cr(iii)over a wide concentration range 1.0 x 10-6 to 1.0 x 10-1 m with a slope 19.5+0.5 mv/decade and low detectionlimit of 8.9 x 10-7 m. it has a fast response time < 15 s. the best perfo...

The paper discusses proposals for recording multiple single-unit potentials from nerve fibres that become captured in an array of tube electrodes. Capturing may be through regeneration. of cut fibres or by placement of dissected filaments into grooves which are then covered. The factors contributing to signal-to-noise ratios obtainable with this type of electrode are discussed. The design, cons...

Some amounts of inert products are given into environment due to biological degradation of substrate in activated sludge system. The effluent of biological wastewater treatment consists of inert substrate in influent flow, soluble microbial products and non degradable or slowly degradable organic products. Soluble inert COD (SI) must be determined for discharge standards since it did not give a...

The present work describes the construction of a new modified electrode by casting the appropriate mixture of a metallocene, which has been introduced in the experimental part, as a mediator at the surface of glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The proposed modified GC electrode was used for the determination of ascorbic acid (AA) in phosphate buffer (PB) solution (pH = 4.0). When compared to bare GC...
