Extra-heavy olefins (C), feedstocks to synthesize a wide range of value-added products, are conventionally generated from fossil resources via energy-intensive wax cracking or multi-step processes. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis with sustainably obtained syngas as feed-in provides a potential way to produce C, though there is a trade-off between enhancing C-C coupling and suppressing further hydrogenation of olefins. Herein, we achieve selective production of C via the overall conversion of CO and water, denoted as Kölbel-Engelhardt synthesis (KES), in polyethylene glycol (PEG) over a mixture of Pt/MoN and Ru particles. KES provides a continuously high CO/H ratio, thermodynamically favoring chain propagation and olefin formation. PEG serves as a selective extraction agent to hinder hydrogenation of olefins. Under an optimal condition, the yield ratio of CO to hydrocarbons reaches the theoretical minimum, and the C yield reaches its maximum of 1.79 mmol with a selectivity (among hydrocarbons) of as high as 40.4%.

Statement Of Problem: Information regarding operators' preferences for different impression mixing techniques and duration of mixing and tray loading is limited.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess operators' preferences, and the duration of mixing and tray loading using different mixing techniques.

Material And Methods: Thirty dentists, 30 dental assistants, and 30 inexperienced dental students evaluated mixing heavy-body vinyl polysiloxane material (VPS) using electronic mixing compared to automixing, and extra-heavy-body material using electronic mixing compared to hand mixing.

The effect of low-density membrane domains on function of the plasma membrane transporter P-glycoprotéine (P-gp), involved in multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype, has been investigated in K562/ADR cells. To this end we reversibly altered the cholesterol content of K562/ADR cells by using methyl-beta-cyclodextrin as a cholesterol chelator and conversely we repleted them through incubation with cholesterol in culture medium. We also used the cholesterol-binding fluorochrome filipin and cholesterol oxidase.
