Hydrogen Production via Methanol Steam Reforming over CuO/ZnO/Al₂O₃ Catalysts Prepared via Oxalate-Precursor Synthesis by Haiguang Wang, Yongfeng Liu, Jun Zhang

“…This suggests that ethanol selects the crystalline phase composition of oxalate precursors and limits their growth. Microwave irradiation prompted the isomorphous substitution between Cu²⁺ of CuC₂O₄ and Zn²⁺ of ZnC₂O₄ in the mother liquid; Zn²⁺ in ZnC₂O₄·xH₂O was substituted with Cu²⁺ in CuC₂O₄, forming the master phase (Cu,Zn)C₂O₄ in the precursor. …”

Production and cross-feeding of nitrite within Prochlorococcus populations by Paul M. Berube, Tyler J. O'Keefe, Anna Rasmussen, Trent LeMaster, Sallie W. Chisholm

“…ABSTRACT Prochlorococcus is an abundant photosynthetic bacterium in the open ocean, where nitrogen (N) often limits phytoplankton growth. In the low-light-adapted LLI clade of Prochlorococcus, nearly all cells can assimilate nitrite (NO2−), with a subset capable of assimilating nitrate (NO3−). …”

Retain the austenite via diffusion control under electropulsing to improve the mechanical properties of the AISI 420 stainless steel by Xingguo Fu, Xiaofeng Xu, Yang Zhao, Dihui Chen, Zhicheng Wu, Xudong Yan, Yachong Zhou, Yongqiang Yu

“…The extremely fast heating rate of the pulsed current results in an instantaneous phase transition, which limits the growth of the prior austenite grains (PAGs) and rapidly dissolves part of the carbide, enriching the carbon element near the carbide and obtains the RA during the cooling process. …”

Burciaga-Hernandez, Gretel Mendoza-Almanza

“…The cancer cells must also attract allies in this challenging process, such as platelets, fibroblasts associated with cancer (CAF), stromal cells, adipocytes, and the extracellular matrix itself, which limits tumor growth. The platelets are enucleated cells with fairly interesting growth factors, proangiogenic factors, cytokines, mRNA, and proteins, which support the development of a tumor microenvironment and support the metastatic process. …”

Biased Brownian motion as a mechanism to facilitate nanometer-scale exploration of the microtubule plus end by a kinesin-8 by Shin, Yongdae, Du, Yaqing, Collier, Scott E., Ohi, Melanie D., Lang, Matthew J., Ohi, Ryoma

“…Kif18B, an understudied human kinesin-8, also limits MT growth during mitosis. In contrast to Kif18A and Kip3, localization of Kif18B to plus ends relies on binding to the plus-end tracking protein EB1, making the relationship between its potential plus-end–directed motility and plus-end accumulation unclear. …”
