Article Synopsis
- The Biomass Chemical Looping Gasification (BCLG) process utilizes two reactors to create nitrogen-free syngas with low tar content, employing ilmenite as an oxygen carrier and wheat straw pellets (WSP) as fuel.
- A study conducted over 25 hours at a 20 kW scale evaluated how torrefied wheat straw pellets (T-WSP) affected syngas quality and identified key operational factors impacting syngas yield.
- Higher temperatures and extended residence times in the fuel reactor improved char conversion, leading to increased hydrogen and carbon monoxide production, while T-WSP performed better than WSP at higher temperatures despite lower yields below 900 °C.
The application of fecal metaproteomics to large-scale studies of the gut microbiota requires high-throughput analysis and standardized experimental protocols. Although high-throughput protein cleanup and digestion methods are increasingly used in shotgun proteomics, no studies have yet critically compared such protocols using human fecal samples. In this study, human fecal protein extracts were processed using several different protocols based on three main approaches: filter-aided sample preparation (FASP), solid-phase-enhanced sample preparation (SP3), and suspension trapping (S-Trap).

Given the prevalent use of polytherapy in treating most hypertensive patients, comprehending the time-dependent effects of combination treatments on inflammation becomes imperative. In this study, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were divided into seven groups (n = 6): (i) SHR + vehicle, (ii) SHR + nebivolol, (iii) SHR + valsartan, (iv) SHR + lisinopril, (v) SHR + nebivolol-valsartan, (vi) SHR + nebivolol-lisinopril, and (vii) WKY + vehicle.
