This article discusses the possibility of the fabrication of a highly sensitive sensor based on single-walled carbon nanotubes surface modified with HOME SCENT functional amino groups (-NH2).The sensor potential for detection of alkali (sodium, lithium, and potassium) metals was investigated.The results of computer simulation of the interaction pro
Solvent extraction is a method implemented with the purpose to recover the remaining oil in spent bleaching earth.n-hexane is the most commonly used solvent in solvent extraction due to its advantages such as able to easily extract the oil and can be separated easily with low chances to form emulsions during the extraction process.Although n-hexane
Abstract Background Lignin and lignans are both derived from the monolignol pathway.Despite the similarity of their building blocks, they fulfil different functions in planta.Lignin strengthens the tissues of the plant, while lignans are involved in plant defence and growth regulation.Their biosyntheses are tuned both spatially and temporally to su
Metastasizing cancer cells encounter a multitude of stresses throughout the metastatic cascade.Oxidative stress is known to be a major barrier for metastatic colonization, such that metastasizing cancer cells must rewire their metabolic pathways to increase their antioxidant capacity.NADPH is essential for regeneration of cellular antioxidants and
In this paper we address the under-representation of Italian-Americans in psychoanalysis in the United States, both as psychoanalysts and analysands.We suggest that this under-representation has arisen from a confluence of Vacuum Tubes cultural biases in traditional criteria for analyzability and pejorative stereotypes about Italian-Americans that
