This study investigates the thermochemical and co-thermochemical conversion of black mass (BM), derived from spent lithium-ion batteries, with and without polyethylene (PE) under various atmospheric conditions (N2, 25 % CO2, and 99.999 % CO2) at temperatures ranging from 700 °C to 900 °C. In an inert N2 environment, gas emissions were minimal, while signi ...

Cysteine sulfenic acid (CysOH), formed on oxidation of Cys residues, is an intermediate in the catalytic cycles of numerous antioxidant enzymes and participates in oxidative-stress sensing and redox signaling. Proteins control CysOH reactivity in part by its interactions with aromatic residues. To characterize such interactions, we performed extensive ab ...

Objective: A parent's ability to self-regulate influences parenting practices. Child-related stressors may deplete parent's self-regulatory capacities. However, this effect may be moderated by the marital context within which stressful parent-child interactions are occurring. The aim of the current study was to investigate the association between ...

To explore the use of molecular docking as a high throughput in silico screening tool for identifying chemicals of environmental health concern, we conducted a case study to assess endocrine disruption effects due to targeting of nuclear receptors (NRs) by chemicals with backbone structures like bisphenols, but with varied functional groups. The molecular ...

The heteroresistance phenotype refers to the presence of bacterial subpopulations with reduced antibiotic susceptibility compared with the main population. Mathematical modelling and computer simulations suggest that heteroresistance can lead to negative treatment outcomes and finally, treatment failure. Due to the low frequency and resistance level of re ...
