Most of us grew up in homes with copper pipes, and they were reliable enough that we gave them little thought. Joining them takes soldering skills so simple that my father taught me when I was about 10. But a relative newcomer, PEX, is mounting a serious challenge to copper plumbing, ...
we used a PBD murine model that carries a null mutation in the genePeroxin2(Pex2−/−), which encodes for a ubiquitin ligase essential for peroxisome biogenesis and functions [37,45]. HomozygousPex2−/−pups are smaller and lighter than age-matched wild-type littermates at birth ...
Better yet, could pvc pipe be the cause of the rise of cancer in our generation, whether heated or not? When I first heard the plastic poison theories, pvc was the first thing I thought of. I've always heard people blame illnesses on "something in the water" as a joke, but I belie...
(we managed to stand under it before it was fenced off, due to people stealing the beautiful copper leaves!), the Pier, the Wet Dream (a beautiful sight at night, with LED raindrops, umbrellas, and the sound of a thunderstorm!), and the amazing Temple. We both also loved the tesla ...
To better understand the role of yej genes in Brucella in resistance to being killed by antimicrobial peptides, we first characterized the regulation of yej genes in B. melitensis NI under polymyxin B treatment. The yejA1, yejA2, yejB, yejE, and yejF expression levels, as measured by RT...
Hooked on Copper: A comparison shows the gap is narrowing with PEX gaining popularity as a preferred material in new construction and repiping work. (Pipe Survey).(Statistical Data Included)Marshutz, Scott
(approximately 100 nm thick) and placed on 300 mesh copper grids which were then stained as follows: 2% aqueous uranyl acetate for 10 min, dH2O rinse, lead citrate for 4 min, dH2O rinse and air dry. The samples were then viewed using a JEOL JEM 1230 Transmission Electron Microscope...
As far as functionalisation is concerned, in the case of copper sulphide, very few examples could be retrieved in the literature in this regard. In a contribution by Ang et al. [120], heterostructured CuS-ZnS nanocrystals (NCs) and Cu-doped ZnS (ZnS:Cu) NCs synthesized by two different...
