Molybdenum trioxide nanostructures were grown by direct evaporation of MoO3 from a tungsten boat resistively heated in the presence of hydrogen or helium as carrier gas at pressures from 100 to 600 Pa. Crystalline structures such as, nanoribbons, nanofibers, nanoneedles and nanoparticles were obtained at source temperatures below 900 degrees C. On the other hand, at source temperatures above 1000 degrees C, nanoporous structures were obtained. The latter were found more often when hydrogen was used as carrier gas.

Hydrogen can be used as an energy carrier and chemical feedstock to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, especially in difficult-to-decarbonize markets such as medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, aviation and maritime, iron and steel, and the production of fuels and chemicals. Significant literature has been accumulated on engineering-based assessments of various hydrogen technologies, and real-world projects are validating technology performance at larger scales and for low-carbon supply chains. While energy system models continue to be updated to track this progress, many are currently limited in their representation of hydrogen, and as a group they tend to generate highly variable results under decarbonization constraints.

Monocrystalline graphene growth has always been an intriguing research focus. Argon (Ar) is merely viewed as a carrier gas due to its inert chemical properties throughout the whole growth procedure by the chemical vapor deposition method. In this work, the influence of Ar on temperature and flow fields was investigated in consideration of its physical parameter difference among all involved gases.

The Mediterranean diet is a well-known dietary pattern that has gained considerable popularity worldwide for its ability to prevent the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. This is largely attributed to the use of virgin olive oil as the primary source of fat, which contains a substantial amount of squalene, a natural antioxidant. In order to enhance the delivery of squalene and amplify its effects due to its highly hydrophobic nature, herein, squalene has been incorporated into chitosan nanoparticles.

Introduction: Glutathione S-transferase (GST) has the ability to detoxify the cellular environment of xenobiotic compounds and by-products of oxidative stress. The expression levels of GST genes and their polymorphisms are associated with various human diseases. Methamphetamine and opiate addiction also account for a significant proportion of SUDs in Iran.

A major obstacle to exploiting industrial flue gas for microalgae cultivation is the unfavorable acidic environment. We previously identified three upregulated genes in the low-pH-adapted model diatom : ferredoxin (PtFDX), cation/proton antiporter (PtCPA), and HCO transporter (PtSCL4-2). Here, we individually overexpressed these genes in to investigate their respective roles in resisting acidic stress (pH 5.
