Electrolyte selection toward efficient photoelectrochemical glycerol oxidation on BiVO.

Glycerol, a primary by-product of biodiesel production, can be oxidized into various value-added chemicals, significantly enhancing the techno-economic value of photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells. Several studies have explored various photoelectrode materials and co-catalysts, but the influence of electrolytes on PEC glycerol oxidation has remained relatively unexplored despite its significance. Here, we explore the impact of various acidic (pH = 2) electrolytes, namely NaNO, NaClO, NaSO, KSO, and KP, on PEC glycerol oxidation using nanoporous thin film BiVO as a model photoanode.

Antimicrobial glycoprotein 2 (GP2) in gallstones, bile fluid and peribiliary glands of patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis.

Background: Glycoprotein-2 (GP2) IgA is a predictor of disease severity in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). We examined GP2's occurrence in the biliary tract, the site of inflammation.

Methods: GP2 was analyzed using ELISA, immunoblotting, mass spectrometry, and immunohistochemistry.

Assessing elevated pressure impact on photoelectrochemical water splitting via multiphysics modeling.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is a promising approach for sustainable hydrogen production. Previous studies have focused on devices operated at atmospheric pressure, although most applications require hydrogen delivered at elevated pressure. Here, we address this critical gap by investigating the implications of operating PEC water splitting directly at elevated pressure.

Effect of temperature and spawning agents on wild female asp (Leuciscus aspius) reproductive efficiency under controlled conditions.

Artificial reproduction is a bottleneck to produce stocking material for many species of freshwater fish. One of these species is the asp, Leuciscus aspius. Research in the field of artificial reproduction of this species is very scarce and often incomplete.

New Frontiers in Electrocardiography, Cardiac Arrhythmias, and Arrhythmogenic Disorders.

In recent decades, diagnosing, risk-stratifying, and treating patients with primary electrical diseases, as well as heart rhythm disorders, have improved substantially [...
