Unlocking the potential of cyanobacteria: a high-throughput strategy for enhancing biocatalytic performance through genetic optimization.

Cyanobacteria show promise as hosts for whole-cell biocatalysis. Their photoautotrophic metabolism can be leveraged for a sustainable production process. Despite advancements, performance still lags behind heterotrophic hosts.

Effects of Metal Promoters (M = Fe, Co, and Cu) in Pt/M Zr O Catalysts and Influence of CO and HO on the CO Oxidation Activity (PROX): Analysis of Surface Properties After Reaction.

In the present paper, the effects of metal promoters (M = Fe, Co, and Cu) in Pt/M Zr O catalysts and the influence of CO and HO on the CO oxidation activity (PROX) were investigated. To do that, characterizations of catalyst structures and surfaces were performed and reported here. The catalyst Pt/Fe Zr O (PFeZ) was the most active at low temperatures among the analyzed ones.

Prehospital Blood Transfusion in Helicopter Emergency Medical Services: An Italian Survey.

Objective: Hemorrhage remains the most common cause of preventable death after trauma. Prehospital blood product (PHBP) administration may improve outcomes. No data are available about PHBP use in Italian helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS).

Investigating the stability of Ni and Fe nanoparticle distribution and the MWCNT structure in the dry reforming of methane.

Catalysts based on Ni and Fe nanoparticles deposited selectively on carbon nanotubes were investigated before and after the dry methane reforming. Three catalysts were synthesized and evaluated, varying the concentration of Ni inside and Fe outside the carbon tubes. BET analysis revealed that the acid treatment opened the ends of the nanotubes and resulted in a higher surface area.

The effect of carbon dioxide in the feed stream of tri-reforming of methane process compared to the partial oxidation of methane.

In this work, we studied the effect of CO in the feed stream of the TRM process performance of nickel supported on LaFeO perovskite for hydrogen production compared to the POM reaction. The perovskite and nickel supported on LaFeO were synthesized and characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and programmed reduction temperature (TPR). The catalytic tests were carried out in temperatures varying from 700 to 800 °C with feed flow of 350 cm/min and 200 cm/min for TRM and POM, respectively.
