Modulation and green synthesis of metal organic frameworks for higher water uptakes and kinetics : adsorption cooling application by Teo, Benjamin How Wei

“…Traditionally, inorganic porous substances such as silica gel, aluminophosphates, or zeolites have been investigated for cooling purposes. The key problem with these adsorbents is that most of the water adsorption occurs at too high relative pressures, and the loading difference over the cycle is only a small part of the total adsorption capacity. …”

Murine cd4+ T cell Responses are inhibited by cytotoxic T cell-mediated killing of dendritic cells and are restored by antigen transfer by Ma, Joel Zhi-Iong, Lim, So Nai, Qin, Jim Shixiang, Yang, Jianping, Enomoto, Noriyuki, Ruedl, Christiane, Ronchese, Franca

“…In contrast, the effects of CTL-mediated killing on CD4+ T cell responses have not been fully investigated. Here we use adoptive transfer of TCR transgenic T cells and DC immunization to show that specific CTL significantly inhibited CD4+ T cell proliferation induced by DC loaded with peptide or low concentrations of protein antigen. …”

Magmatic Na-rich phlogopite in a suite of gabbroic crustal xenoliths from Volcán San Pedro, Chilean Andes : evidence for a solvus relation between phlogopite and aspidolite by Costa, Fidel, Dungan, Michael, Singer, Brad S.

“…The high proportions (up to 15 vol%) of Na-rich phlogopite in two different groups of gabbroic xenoliths suggest that it might be a more common and abundant mineral than has been previously recognized, and that it may be used as an indicator of open-system processes.…”
