A combination of photosynthetic biocatalysts with high surface area conductive materials mediated by an osmium-complex modified redox polymer (OsRP)holds promising features for the development of sustainable “green” systems for solar energy conversion. In this work we performed a comparative study of two types of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)synt
Light levels in terrestrial and shallow-water environments can vary by ten orders of magnitude between clear days and overcast nights. Light-evoked pupillary responses help the eyes of animals perform optimally under these variable light conditions by balancing trade-offs between sensitivity and resolution [1]. Here, we document that the mirror-based eyes of the bay scallop Argopecten irradians an
Pursuit of the Bioeconomy (BE) and the Circular Economy (CE) is high on the political agendas of many countries. Application of the concepts is intended to ameliorate a number of sustainability challenges, such as raw material constraint concerns and global warming. The concepts of BE and CE are increasingly combined to describe a ‘circular bioeconomy’ (CBE), which emphasises value retention for r
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to identify appropriate concepts of multi-active façades for the renovation of multifamily buildings in Sweden and to determine which, if any, are financially viable. Design/methodology/approach: A lifecycle profit (LCP) analysis was used to examine financial viability through a ten-step process, which included identifying concepts, assessing costs and prices,
Background: Correlations from charge correlation, known as charge balance functions, provide critical tests of the chemical evolution of matter in a heavy-ion collision. Comparisons of experimental balance functions with calculations from parametric descriptions of the final state suggest that the charge production in the earliest stages of a heavy-ion collision are consistent with having generate

Galectins are carbohydrate-recognizing proteins involved in many different pathological processes, including cancer and immune-related disorders. Inhibitors of galectins have evolved from natural oligosaccharides toward more drug-like truncated galactoside scaffolds that only retain key specific interactions of the galactose scaffolds with the galectin carbohydrate recognition domains. In this con
