Experimental mutation-accumulation on the X chromosome of <it>Drosophila melanogaster </it>reveals stronger selection on males than females by Kimber Christopher M, Bouchard Jessica M, Mallet Martin A, Chippindale Adam K

“…</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Our data helps fill a gap in our understanding of the consequences of sexual selection for genetic load, and suggests that stronger selection on males may indeed purge deleterious mutations affecting female fitness.…”

Exploratory Evaluation of Retranslocation and Bioconcentration of Heavy Metals in Three Species of Mangrove at Las Cucharillas Marsh, Puerto Rico by Carla Lorraine Mejías, Juan Carlos Musa, Juan Otero

“…This type of flora is recognized for their many beneficial properties for example, the ability to purge aquatic ecosystems where they stand. Exploratory analyses on the phytoaccumulative capacity of three mangrove species for ten metals (Hg, Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mg, Zn) were performed in this research. …”

Estimating Toxic Risk Exposure to Populations Inside Buildings by A. Sarrack

“…Using a detailed method of evaluating toxic risks to personnel in buildings accounts for the calculated concentration at the building for each scenario, ventilation intake rate, ventilation isolation reliability, leak tightness of the building, lethality of the toxin, duration of the release, protective equipment, and clean purge air supplies, as applicable. In addition, rather than plotting the impact area and assessing it in a series of directions, the detailed method calculates the probability of directionalities of interest. …”

Perspective nickel-oxide cathodes technologies for centimetric range microwave devices by N. E. Ledentsova, I. P. Li, V. S. Petrov, V. I. Kapustin

“…In order to improve the cathodes quality it is expedient to anneal the agglomerates after their production in carbon dioxide at 200-300°C with a final purge by nitrogen at 1000°C for 10 minutes. The use of agglomerates based on nickel and the triple carbonate for the production of oxide-nickel cathodes provides more uniform distribution of the emission-active agent in the volume and on the surface of the cathodes.…”

Control of cytoskeletal dynamics during cellular responses to pore forming toxins by Francisco Sarmento Mesquita, Cláudia Brito, Didier Cabanes, Sandra Sousa

“…Similarly, gut epithelial cells damaged by PFTs in vivo were shown to release microvilli structures or directly purge cytoplasmic content. Cytoplasmic purging involves profound cytoskeletal remodeling and ER vacuolation, suggesting that our observations recapitulate recovery processes in vivo. …”

L-Lactide Polymerization in the Presence of Gaseous Nitrogen by Rosana Aparecida da Silva-Buzanello, Ligiane Aline Inhoato, Mirela Vanin dos Santos Lima, Heron Oliveira dos Santos Lima, Fernanda Vitória Leimann, Pedro Henrique Hermes de Araújo, Odinei Hess Gonçalves

“…Depolymerization was avoided when gaseous nitrogen was used resulting in higher molar masses than the case when no purging was carried out.…”

Analysis of cadmium in infant milk powder using the differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry by Isa, Siti Zaharah Md

“…The optimize parameters for the voltammetric determination of the cadmium are: initial potential, Et = -0.70 V; final potential, Ef = 0.50 V; deposition potential, Eacc = -1.15 V; deposition time, tacc = 90 s; equilibrium time, teq= 10 s; sweep rate = 0.06 V/s; pulse amplitude = 0.05 V; and purge time = 300 s. Cadmium was not detected in all samples except for samples 9 and 10 which showed the Cd contents were about 12.458 ± 2.899 and 31.517 ± 4.320 ppb respectively. …”

The Phenomenon of Collective Estate in Peredelkino. 1936‒1938 by Anna A. Koznova

“…The considerable and long-awaited improvement of everyday life led to the development of unusual hobbies among the writers, which would become an attempt to return to the pre-revolutionary dacha life for some, or a way to set up their own household for others, while being a means to escape from the reality of the Great Purge for all of them. This isolation, an attempt to regain control over their lives and creative work, did not pass unnoticed with the secret services and the leaders of the Soviet Writers’ Union. …”

Integrated techno-economic and life cycle assessment of hydroformylation in microemulsion systems by Johannes Wunderlich, Philipp Kretzschmar, Reinhard Schomäcker

“…Surprisingly, a profitability-driven sensitivity study indicates a base case optimum at low residence time with low alkene conversion leading to large throughput streams and high raw material purge rates. The comparison to the industrial cobalt-based benchmark system shows an economic advantage regarding net present value (Rh: 68 M$; Co: 62 M$), while about half of the environmental indicators are in favor or equivalent. …”

Picomolar dichotomous activity of gnidimacrin against HIV-1. by Li Huang, Phong Ho, Jie Yu, Lei Zhu, Kuo-Hsiung Lee, Chin-Ho Chen

Patterns of recombination in HIV-1M are influenced by selection disfavouring the survival of recombinants with disrupted genomic RNA and protein structures. by Michael Golden, Brejnev M Muhire, Yves Semegni, Darren P Martin

“…These results are consistent with the hypothesis that natural selection has acted both in the short term to purge recombinants with disrupted RNA and protein folds, and in the longer term to modify the genome architecture of HIV to ensure that recombination prone sites correspond with those where recombination will be minimally deleterious.…”

Management of Change (MOC) Reviews Applied for Pemfc Systems by Guilherme S. Niekraszewicz, Lucca R.S.A. Bastos, Ian J.D. Rezende, Leonardo O.S. Santana, Fernando L.P. Pessoa, Gerhard Ett

“…After the HFC, the non-reacted hydrogen and water produced during the reaction were eliminated through a purge valve. In the modified setup, an accumulator was added before the PEMFC, along with a non-reacted hydrogen reuse system that redirects the product exit of the HFC back to the accumulator. …”
