Optimal Feedback Synthesis and Minimal Time Function for the Bioremediation of Water Resources with Two Patches
(SIAM, 2016)
This paper studies the bioremediation, in minimal time, of a water resource or reservoir using a single continuous bioreactor. The bioreactor is connected to two pumps, at different locations in the reservoir, that pump ...
Triglyceride synthesis by human bone marrow fibroblasts
(1987)
An increase in triglyceride synthesis has been observed in cultures of human bone marrow fibroblasts after the cells reach confluence. The addition of hydrocortisone further enhances triglyceride synthesis. Conditioned ...
Buthionine sulfoximine has anti-Trypanosoma cruzi activity in a murine model of acute Chagas' disease and enhances the efficacy of nifurtimox
(AMER SOC MICROBIOLOGY, 2008)
L-Buthionine (S,R)-sulfoximine (BSO) at a dose of 220 mg/kg of body weight/day showed an anti-Trypanosoma cruzi effect in infected mice, increasing their survival rate and decreasing the parasitemias and parasite burden ...
Enhanced protein synthesis in Triatoma infestans treated with DDT
(1965)
The effect of DDT and DDE, a DDT-non toxic analog, on protein biosynthesis in Triatoma infestans nymphs and adult specimens has been studied. DDT increases the in vivo rate of incorporation of dl-leucine-1-C14 into total ...
Flow chemistry to control the synthesis of nano and microparticles for biomedical applications
(Bentham Science Publishers B.V., 2014)
In this article we review the flow chemistry methodologies for the controlled synthesis of different kind of nano and microparticles for biomedical applications. Injection mechanism has emerged as new alternative for the ...
Engineering CHO cells galactose metabolism to reduce lactate synthesis
(Springer Netherlands, 2019)
Objective: Over-express galactokinase (Galk1) in tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) producing CHO cells as a potential strategy to improve cell growth and product synthesis. Results: tPA producing CHO cells were transfected ...
An Algorithm for Maximizing the Biogas Production in a Chemostat
(Springer New York LLC, 2019)
In this work, we deal with the optimal control problem of maximizing biogas production in a chemostat. The dilution rate is the controlled variable, and we study the problem over a fixed finite horizon, for positive initial ...
Metabolic cost of osmoregulation in a hypertonic environment in the invasive African clawed frog Xenopus laevis
(Company of Biologists Ltd., 2016)
Studies of aquatic invertebrates reveal that salinity affects feeding and growth rates, reproduction, survival, and diversity. Little is known, however, about how salinity impacts the energy budget of vertebrates and ...
Some vaguely explored (but not trivial) costs of tail autotomy in lizards
(2007)
Lizard tail autotomy is considered an efficient anti-predator strategy that allows animals to escape from a predator attack. However, since the tail also is involved in many alternative functions, tailless animals must ...
Facile synthesis of graphene-AgVO3 nanocomposite with excellent supercapacitor performance
(Elsevier, 2018-06-15)
The graphene-AgVO3 nanocomposites (GA30) were synthesized by facile one-step chemical-bath method. SEM and TEM images of the synthesized nanocomposites indicate that this method is possible to anchor the AgVO3 nanoparticles ...
