Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Drivers and barriers to the diffusion of energy-efficient technologies—a plant-level analysis of the German steel industry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The paper aims at explaining why large-scale energy-intensive industries—here the German iron and steel industry—had a period of slow uptake of major energy-efficient technologies from the mid 1990s to mid 2000s (Arens and Worrell, 2014) and why from the

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

Comparing energy and Randic energy

open access: yesMacedonian Journal of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, 2013
The recently conceived Randić energy (RE) is examined, and its relation to the (earlier much studied) total π-electron energy (E) is investigated. Within classes of molecular graphs, there exists a relatively good (increasing) linear correlation between ...

Can small-scale biogas projects mitigate the energy crisis of rural Bangladesh? A study with economic analysis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Sustainable Energy, 2020
Energy usage disparity is burgeoning across the world. Therefore, biogas can be promising towards energy solution in bucolic regions of Bangladesh. Exploiting small-scale plants (3.45, 2.4, 2.7, 3 and 3.3 m3), this study elucidates the economic congruity

Estimation of the moisture content, volatile matter, ash content, fixed carbon and calorific values of saw dust briquettes

open access: yesMANAS: Journal of Engineering, 2022
“One way of making efficient use of existing resources is briquetting. Briquetting involves collecting combustible materials that are not usable due to lack of density, and compressing them into solid fuels of convenient shape that can be burnt like wood

Annual Energy Outlook

open access: yes, 1994
This report is a companion document to the Annual Energy Outlook 1994 (AEO94), (DOE/EIA-0383(94)), released in Jan. 1994. Part I of the Supplement presents the key quantitative assumptions underlying the AEO94 projections, responding to requests by ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...
