Modeling of the formation of short-chain acids in propane flames [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 In order to better understand their potential formation in combustion systems, a detailed kinetic mechanism for the formation of short-chain monocarboxylic acids, formic (HCOOH), acetic (CH3COOH), propionic (C2H5COOH) and propenic (C2H3COOH)) acids, has been developed. Simulations of lean (equivalence ratios from 0.9 to 0.48) laminar premixed flames of

Discovery Of Copper Catalyst For New Chemical Polishing Acid On Superconducting Niobium [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 High field Q-slope (HFQS) seriously limits the high gradient performance of the buffered chemically polished (BCP) superconducting radio frequency (SRF) niobium cavities. The direct cause or mechanism is not yet fully understood. In our recent extensive data analysis, we concluded that the potential root cause could be nitrogen contamination on the ...

A thermodynamic basis for prebiotic amino acid synthesis and the nature of the first genetic code [PDF]
, 2009 Of the twenty amino acids used in proteins, ten were formed in Miller's atmospheric discharge experiments. The two other major proposed sources of prebiotic amino acid synthesis include formation in hydrothermal vents and delivery to Earth via meteorites.

Biochemical and structural characterization of chlorite dismutase enzyme from Pseudomonas aeruginosa
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Chlorite dismutase (Cld) is a heme b oxidoreductase that can decompose chlorite (ClO2−$$ {\mathrm{ClO}}_2^{-} $$ or OClO−) into harmless chloride (Cl−) and dioxygen (O2) with high turnover rates. Cld was found to be involved in different biological processes, and the rare reaction it catalyzes makes it a prominent enzyme for different applications. The

Life at new extremes: Integrating stress physiology and the bio‐exposome in the Anthropocene
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.We propose to expand the concept of extreme environments to encompass those that are profoundly altered by climate and global changes, highlight the critical role of stress resilience in understanding how the exposome interacts with intracellular processes (bio‐exposome) in wildlife, emphasize how such interactions are relevant to the human bio ...

LC/ESI-MS analysis of underivatized amino acids and mass spectrum [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 We report the method of LC/ESI-MS analysis of underivatized amino acids with corresponding mass spectrum and fragmentation patterns. Diagnostic product ions determined by mass spectrometry can support the qualitative identification and quantitative estimation of individual amino acids. Therefore, the optimization of chromatographic separation using the
