Thermodynamic Analysis of a Hybrid System Coupled Cooling, Heating and Liquid Dehumidification Powered by Geothermal Energy

Energies, 2021
The utilization of geothermal energy is favorable for the improvement of energy efficiency. A hybrid system consisting of a seasonal heating and cooling cycle, an absorption refrigeration cycle and a liquid dehumidification cycle is proposed to meet ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Exergy Efficiency for Radiation Heat Transfer

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
Abstract One of the evaluation criteria for the performance of thermal processes is exergy analysis. Along with energy analysis, exergy calculations provide a clear and highly effective understanding of the performance of a system. Although exergy analysis has been extensively applied to many industrial processes, there are limited works

Reduction of Heating Energy Demand by Combining Infrared Heaters and Infrared Reflective Walls

Buildings
We study the potential of infrared (IR) heaters in combination with IR reflective walls to reduce heating energy demand in buildings. Using IR heaters increases radiant temperature.

Development of an empirical method for determination of thermal conductivity and heat loss for pre-insulated plastic bonded twin pipe systems

International Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management, 2018
Pre-insulated twin pipe systems (PTPS) for heat distribution offer advantages for heat supply companies. Trench dimensions for heat supply systems of District Heating (DH) networks might be reduced using these pipe systems.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Application and Effects of Ohmic-Vacuum Combination Heating on the Quality Factors of Tomato Paste

Foods, 2021
Ohmic-vacuum combination heating is a common method used in the food industry as a concentration process. In the present study, an OH-VC combination heating system was developed for producing tomato paste at temperatures of 70, 80, and 90 °C and pressure

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.

Thermodynamics Analysis of Semi‐Closed Gas Turbine Cycle

Energy Science & Engineering
The properties of a semi‐closed combined cycle power system make it a better option for this study than an open system, since it turns an open‐cycle gas turbine into a pollutant‐free power system.
