Alkanolamide biosurfactants: techno-economic evaluation of enzymatic versus chemical production

Alkanolamides are biosurfactants used in a range of products for cleaning and other applications. Recently, an environmentally benign and volume-efficient biocatalytic process for production of high-quality alkanolamides was developed in our laboratory. In the current investigation, this process is evaluated in terms of technical and economic feasibility on a multi-tonne scale using commercial pro

Lipid Bilayer-like Mixed Self-Assembled Monolayers with Strong Mobility and Clustering-Dependent Lectin Affinity

Glycans at the surface of cellular membranes modulate biological activity via multivalent association with extracellular messengers. The lack of tuneable simplified models mimicking this dynamic environment complicates basic studies of these phenomena. We here present a series of mixed reversible self-assembled monolayers (rSAMs) that addresses this deficiency. Mixed rSAMs were prepared in water b

Phonetic Methods in Cat Vocalisation Studies: A report from the Meowsic project

In the project Melody in Human–Cat Communication (Meowsic) we are using established phonetic methods to collect, annotate, pre-process and analyse domestic cat–human vocal communication. This article describes these methods, and also presents results of meow vocalisations in four different mental states showing variation in fundamental frequency (f0).

Malperfusions in Acute Type B Aortic Dissection—Predictors of Outcomes

Background: Acute type B aortic dissection (AoD) with malperfusion is a rare and complex disease. In this specific setting, invasive treatment is generally required to improve aortic branch vessel flow. Thoracic aorta stent grafting (TEVAR) of the proximal descending thoracic aorta to cover/exclude the proximal intimal entry tear would promote resolution of the dynamic component (the most prevalen
