EFFICIENCY, ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTS OF A NEW INTEGRATED RAIL ENGINE SYSTEM USING HYDROGEN AND OTHER SUSTAINABLE FUEL BLENDS

Efficiency, economic and environmental impact assessments of a new integrated rail engine system using hydrogen and other sustainable fuel blends

Locomotives still use antiquated engines, such as internal combustion engines operated by fossil fuels which cause global warming due to their significant emissions.This paper investigates a new hybridized locomotive engine containing a gas turbine system, solid oxide fuel cell system, heat recovery system, and an on-board hydrogen production syste

Ehrlichia chaffeensis TRP120-mediated ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of tumor suppressor FBW7 increases oncoprotein stability and promotes infection.

Ehrlichia chaffeensis (E.chaffeensis) exploits evolutionarily conserved Dab Tools Notch and Wnt host cell signaling pathways to downregulate innate immune host defenses and promote infection.The multifunctional E.chaffeensis TRP120 effector which has HECT E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, interacts with the host nuclear tumor suppressor F-BOX and WD do

Toward Defining the Regenerative Potential of Olfactory Mucosa: Establishment of Schwann Cell-Free Adult Canine Olfactory Ensheathing Cell Preparations Suitable for Transplantation

Olfactory mucosa (OM)-derived olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) are attractive candidates for autologous cell transplantation-based therapy of nervous system injury.However, defining the regenerative capacity of OM-derived OECs is impeded by the fact that cell cultures used for transplantation may contain significant amounts of contaminating trige
