The performance of chemically modified textile waste for a heavy metal treatment is reported in this study.Two sorbents, which were prepared by a Puddlesuits simple and concise method, were able to bind two heavy metals including Pb(II) and Cr(VI), with very high efficiencies.The binding mechanisms were studied through adsorption tests such as the
Halcrow Yolles was retained to conceptualize ideas for a glass bridge designed to span across the main lobby of a new hotel.Its defining feature, laminated glass balustrades, span continuously over the entire nine metre opening.Design work Specialty Lighting for the bridge was completed using a finite element model of the entire bridge allowing for
Objective: The spliced transcription factor Xbp1 (Xbp1s), a transducer of the unfolded protein response (UPR), regulates lipolysis.Lipolysis is stimulated by fasting when uridine synthesis is also activated in adipocytes.Methods: Here we have examined the regulatory role Xbp1s in stimulation of uridine biosynthesis in adipocytes and triglyceride mo
