This study focuses on the physicochemical fuel characteristics and engine performance-emission features of three prospective alternative transportation fuels: Alexandrian laurel biodiesel (ALBD), jatropha biodiesel (JBD) and GTL fuel at high idling conditions. The blends of GTL fuel (G10, G20), JBD (J10, J20) and ALBD (AL10, AL20) with diesel had been investigated in a multi-cylinder diesel eng...

The systems biology revolution is proceeding along multiple pathways as different science agencies and the private sector have adopted strategies suited to their particular needs and cultures. To meet this challenge, the U.S. Department of Energy has developed the Genomes to Life (GTL) program. A central focus of GTL is environmental microbial biology as a way to approach global environmental p...

A Game theoretical algorithm ,which is titled as GTL(Game-theoretical Total Link) , is addressed in this paper and applied in the optimization of LINK issues in Wireless Sensor Networks. Through choosing an appropriate payoff value, all nodes are assumed to play games and to do benefit to both itself and all the neighbors. Eventually, all nodes performance in the status of optimized energy-effi...

A novel oral Hsp90 inhibitor, NVP-HSP990, has been developed and characterized in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, NVP-HSP990 exhibits single digit nanomolar IC(50) values on three of the Hsp90 isoforms (Hsp90α, Hsp90β, and GRP94) and 320 nanomolar IC(50) value on the fourth (TRAP-1), with selectivity against unrelated enzymes, receptors, and kinases. In c-Met amplified GTL-16 gastric tumor cells, ...

Co-extraction of pomegranate seed oil (PSO) with green tea leaves (GTL) (0 [control sample], 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10% w/w) was conducted by cold-press to evaluate the extracted quality during storage. The extraction yield similar control sample up 5% w/w GTL. Total phenol chlorophyll content were increased in oils increasing level acid peroxide values storage lowest achieved for PSO Rancimat analys...

PURPOSE Heat shock protein-90 (HSP-90), a molecular chaperone required by numerous oncogenic kinases [e.g., HER-2, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Raf-1, v-Src, and AKT] for conformational stability, has attracted wide interest as a novel target for cancer therapy. HSP-90 inhibition induces degradation of HSP-90 client proteins, leading to a combinatorial inhibition of multiple oncogen...

This study examines the nexus between green transformational leadership (GTL) and environmental performance (EP), considering mediating role of human resource management (GHRM) innovation (GI). Besides, we also find moderating effects values (EV) GTL EP. collected data from 110 respondents using a survey questionnaire small medium enterprises employed structural equation modeling. The findings ...

Several applications require the joint display of two phylogenetic trees whose leaves are matched by inter-tree edges. This issue arises, for example, when comparing gene trees and species trees or when studying the co-speciation of hosts and parasites. The tanglegram layout problem seeks to produce a layout of the two trees that minimizes the number of crossings between the inter-tree edges. T...

Liquid transportation fuels derived from coal and natural gas could helpthe United States reduce its dependence on petroleum. The fuels could be produced domestically or imported from fossil fuel-rich countries. The goal of this paper is to determine the life-cycle GHG emissions of coal- and natural gas-based Fischer-Tropsch (FT) liquids, as well as to compare production costs. The results show...

One- and two-dimensional (1)H NMR spectroscopy were used to study the biotransformation of two dietary glucosinolates, sinigrin (SIN), and glucotropaeolin (GTL) by the human digestive microflora in vitro. The molecular structures of the new metabolites issued from the aglycone moiety of the glucosinolate were identified, and the modulation of carbon metabolism was studied by quantifying bacteri...
