Preparation and characterization of ball milled chicken eggshell derived activated carbon (ACESP) / halloysite nanotubes (HNT) / fluorescein (FL) nanocomposite [BACHFL] as novel fluorescent probe for heavy metal ion detection

open access: yesNext Materials
Mercury is considered as the most hazardous pollutant due to its adverse effects to mankind. Hence the present work aims at the preparation and characterization of ball milled chicken eggshell derived activated carbon (ACESP) / halloysite nanotubes (HNT)

Heterozygous loss‐of‐function alleles associate the conserved 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease EXOSC10 with hypersensitivity to the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
EXOSC10, an essential nuclear RNA exosome‐associated 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease, is inhibited by the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU), and EXOSC10 depletion increases 5‐FU sensitivity. The colon‐cancer variant EXOSC10S402T, located in a proteolysis motif, is stable and nuclear but nonfunctional in vivo.

Design and testing of piezoelectric energy harvesting devices for generation of higher electric power for wireless sensor networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper reports our design and testing results on the electric output performance of a vibration-based piezoelectric energy harvesting device (PEHD). The PEHD is a cantilever with a sandwich structure and seismic mass attached to the tip.

Interaction of HS1BP3 with cortactin modulates TKS5 localisation, cell secretion and cancer malignancy

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Here, we demonstrate that HS1BP3 interacts with Cortactin through a proline‐rich region (PRR3.1) and show that this interaction, and HS1BP3 itself, promote cancer cell proliferation and invasion. Inhibition of this interaction leads to build‐up of TKS5 in multivesicular endosomes and altered secretion of CD63 and CD9, providing an explanation for the ...

Kinetic energy harvesting

open access: yes, 2008
This paper reviews kinetic energy harvesting as a potential localised power supply for wireless applications. Harvesting devices are typically implemented as resonant devices of which the power output depends upon the size of the inertial mass, the ...

Plant diversity and precipitation gradients drive litter return and SOC in alpine vegetation

open access: yesCarbon Balance and Management
Climate and plant diversity are the major drivers of litter return and soil organic carbon (SOC) content. However, in cold and arid regions, how plant diversity and climate are affected by other factors and their contribution rates to the regulation of ...

Valorization of Invasive Tree Species (Black Locust, Tree-of-Heaven) Bark in Commercial Lime Mortars: Effects on Composites’ Physical, Hygroscopic and Mechanical Performance

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Fast-growing invasive tree species management produces a significant amount of low-density and low-value biomass, which offers a chance for waste valorization in the environmentally friendly construction sector.

Predicting the annual erosion rates on a small stream by the BANCS model

open access: yesSoil and Water Research, 2019
The erosion of streambanks causes soil loss and degrades the stream habitat. To optimize the prevention of bank erosion, we first need to determine the most vulnerable places on banks. This can be done by the BANCS model.
