Electrolyzed reduced water (ERW) has attracted much attention because of its therapeutic effects. In the present study, a new culture medium, which we designated Water medium, was developed to elucidate the effects of ERW on the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans. Wild-type C. elegans had a significantly shorter lifespan in Water medium than in conventional S medium. However, worms cultured in ...

We report here on the fabrication of porous anodic alumina PAA films from commercially available impure aluminum foil. While the expensive ultrapure PAA films are restricted to potential applications in nanoelectrophotonics, the impure PAA films are more suitable for large-scale applications, such as in catalysis and filtration. The anodization current behavior and chemical composition of the r...

The use of liquid hydrogen as a fuel will be inevitable in the aviation future. This statement means that manufacturers also implement for cooling all superconducting equipment an electric propulsion system. development fully aircraft is most promising solution this case. Scientists from Department electrical machines and power electronics Moscow institute have conducted calculations theoretica...

Hydrogen (H2) will play a key role in the future low-carbon energy society. The industrial production of hydrogen involves chemical reactions and purification steps. Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) is versatile process able to produce ultrapure (99.99+%) from various gas mixtures, resulting most widespread technology worldwide. In particular, Polybed PSA system, having more than six beds comple...

Glucose is a 6-carbon carbohydrate compound present in plants and the ingredient for hemicellulose which makes up 30% of plants’ total mass. The current study uses glucose as reactant and evaluates hydrogen generation at different temperatures and different amounts of input flow of glucose – water mixture. Hydrothermal gasification method is used for hydrogen generation in an open system with c...

The present paper explores the impact of an on-board hydrogen harvesting system (fuel reformer) on the overall efficiency of a fuel-cell powered vehicle. Various methods of hydrogen production for automotive applications have been discussed first. As the hydrogen production is one of the major challenges for application of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, especially in vehicular indus...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of malondialdehyde as an oxidative stress marker in the same hemodialysis patients after changing the quality of dialysate with ultrapure dialysis fluid. Methods. This prospective study concerns hemodialysis patients; all patients were in the first step treated with conventional dialysate, and in the second step (three months later) the same pati...
