Soybean Oil-Based Biopolymers Induced by Nonthermal Plasma to Enhance the Dyeing of Para-Aramids with a Cationic Dye by Metzcar, Caleb, Ye, Xiaofei Philip, Wang, Toni, Doona, Christopher J.

“…The NTP treatment, after the AESO or AA/Soy pretreatment, was essential in inducing the formation of a polymerized network on the surface of para-aramids that bonded the dye molecules and generating covalent bonds that anchored the polymerized network to the para-aramids, which is difficult to achieve given the high crystallinity and chemical inertness of para-aramids. …”

Ago2 protects Drosophila siRNAs and microRNAs from target-directed degradation, even in the absence of 2′- O -methylation by Kingston, Elena R, Bartel, David P

“…Despite this sensitivity when loaded into Ago1, these siRNAs are not detectably regulated by target-directed degradation because most molecules are loaded into Ago2, the Argonaute paralog that preferentially associates with siRNAs, and we find that siRNAs and miRNAs loaded into Ago2 are insensitive to Dora. …”

Probing the role of clay minerals in the preservation of organics and soft tissues by Hall, James

“…I begin by incubating basaltic sediments and a 5% pCO2 headspace with solutions containing a range of organic molecules which have plausible abiotic sources. I subsequently expand on these experiments by amending the solutions with Fe2+. …”
