lysine metabolism has been measured in rats fed a diet low in trimethyl-lysine and carnitine (Davis & Hoppel, 1983, 1986). Under these steady-state conditions, the total body trimethyl-lysine content is similar to the total body carnitine content. The tissue distribution of peptide-linked and free trimethyl-lysine shows that approximately 68% of the total trimethyl-lysine is present in skeletal...

An interdigitated electrode sensor was designed and microfabricated for measuring the changes in the capacitance of three phosphate selective molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) formulations, in order to provide hydroponics users with a portable nutrient sensing tool. The MIPs investigated were synthesised using different combinations of the functional monomers methacrylic acid (MAA) and N-ally...

An interdigitated electrode sensor was designed and microfabricated for measuring the 11 changes in the capacitance of three phosphate selective molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) 12 formulations, in order to provide hydroponics users with a portable nutrient sensing tool. The 13 MIPs investigated were synthesised using different combinations of the functional monomers 14 methacrylic acid (MAA...

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) has been shown as a powerful technique to build three-dimensional (3D) all-solid-state microbattery, because of its unique advantages in fabricating uniform and pinhole-free thin films in 3D structures. The development of solid-state electrolyte by ALD is a crucial step to achieve the fabrication of 3D all-solid-state microbattery by ALD. In this work, lithium phos...

A novel artificial peroxidase (AP) with highly catalytic efficiency was designed using hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB, 3 mM) nano-micelles and bovine heart cytochrome c (Cyt c, 0.5 µM) in 100 mM, pH 8.0 phosphate buffer at 25°C. The catalytic rate (kcat) and Michaelis-Menten (Km) of the AP were determined to be 0.311 ± 0.013 s(-1) and 8.64 ± 0.6 µM. The catalytic efficiency was 0.03...

In this study, aggregation behavior of a water soluble cationic metalloporphyrin, meso-tetrakis (2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-N,N ,́N ́ ́-trimethyl ammonium phenyl) porphyrin nickel(II) [Ni(II)(TF4TMAPP)] is investigated in 5 mM aqueous phosphate buffer of pH 7.0 at 25.0 °C and various ionic strengths using optical absorption and resonance light scattering spectroscopic methods. The results suggest that [N...

Water treatment alternatives such as adsorption using agricultural residues are currently being studied to eliminate pollutants that cause eutrophication in water bodies, avoiding the alteration of aquatic ecosystems. In this work, two bio-adsorbents were prepared cellulose extracted from corn stems, Zea mays, which labeled MC (quaternized modified with Cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride) and B ...

Rechargeable sodium-ion batteries are considered promising candidates for low-cost and large-scale energy storage systems. However, the limited density, cyclability, safety issues remain challenges practical applications. Herein, investigation of Cu1.8S/C composite material as negative electrode active (conversion) in combination with a concentrated electrolyte composed 3.3 m solution sodium bi...

The near-limit oscillatory behaviors on wick flames of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) with trimethyl phosphate (TMP) additions have been investigated experimentally. experiments were conducted under a burner in conjunction the limiting oxygen concentration test (wick-LOC), and fuels selected as typical examples electrolyte solvents organophosphorus compounds (OPCs) for lithium-ion batteries. oscillat...
