Redox responsive mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were engineered to deliver gemcitabine (Gem) and cisplatin (cisPt) at defined ratios to overcome chemoresistance in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Optimized Gem MSNs and Gem cisPt MSNs enhanced cytotoxicity in murine and human Gem resistant models, with select formulations inducing ...

Thermophilic and mesophilic temperature phase anaerobic codigestion (TPAcD) compared with single-stage co-digestion of sewage sludge and sugar beet pulp lixiviation [PDF]
The performance of temperature phase anaerobic co-digestion (TPAcD) for sewage sludge and sugar beet pulp lixiviation (using the process of exchanging the digesting substrate between spatially separated thermophilic and mesophilic digesters) was tested

Homoacetogenesis as an alternative hydrogen sink in the rumen : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Microbiology and Genetics at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. [PDF]
Ruminant livestock contribute significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions. This is due to microorganisms, known as methanogens that generate methane from hydrogen and carbon dioxide during feed fermentation in the rumen.
