Power-to-gas and power-to-liquid systems in emerging hydrogen valleys: techno-economic assessment of alternative fuels

Energy Storage and Saving
This study presents a techno-economic assessment of power-to-gas and power-to-liquid pathways within the hydrogen valley concept to support the decarbonization of local energy systems.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS 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.

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

FEBS 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 ...

Mapping and Analysis of Initial cost Against Levelized Cost of Energy for Residential PV Rooftoop in Indonesia

E3S Web of Conferences, 2018
Future electricity tariffs are expected to increase. To overcome this condition, arise the idea how the residential can generate its own electricity by exploiting the potential of solar energy.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS 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 ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Technoeconomics of Reverse Osmosis as Demand-Side Management for Philippine Off-Grid Islands

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2019
Providing water supply in off-grid islands is difficult due to remoteness and high logistics cost. Despite interest in providing energy sustainability in these areas, there is relatively lesser interest in coupling it with sustainable water access.

Modified Levelized Cost of Electricity or Energy, MLOCE and Modified Levelized Avoidable Cost of Electricity or Energy, MLACE and Decision Making [PDF]

American Journal of Modern Energy, 2019
LCOE is the Levelized Cost of Electricity or Energy, which is an economic measure of the minimum price at which energy can be produced over the lifetime of the power plant. This value determines the minimum value at which energy could be sold during the lifetime of the installation, and this value is considered as the net present value of unit cost ...
