Carbon dioxide uptake from natural gas by binary ionic liquid water mixtures

[EN] Carbon dioxide solubility in a set of carboxylate ionic liquids formulated with stoicheiometric amounts of water is found to be significantly higher than for other ionic liquids previously reported. This is due to synergistic chemical and physical absorption. The formulated ionic liquid/water mixtures show greatly enhanced carbon dioxide solubility relative to both anhydrous ionic liquids and aqueous ionic liquid solutions, and are competitive with commercial chemical absorbers, such as activated N-methyldiethanolamine or monoethanolamine.The authors would like to acknowledge PETRONAS for financial support of this research, and Cytec (especially Dr Al Robertson) for supplying some of the phosphonium ionic liquids used.Anderson, K.; Atkins, MP.; Estager, J.; Kuah, Y.; Ng, S.; Oliferenko, AA.; Plechkova, NV....

The Gene Ontology knowledgebase in 2023

The Gene Ontology (GO) knowledgebase (http://geneontology.org) is a comprehensive resource concerning the functions of genes and gene products (proteins and noncoding RNAs). GO annotations cover genes from organisms across the tree of life as well as viruses, though most gene function knowledge currently derives from experiments carried out in a relatively small number of model organisms. Here, we provide an updated overview of the GO knowledgebase, as well as the efforts of the broad, international consortium of scientists that develops, maintains, and updates the GO knowledgebase. The GO knowledgebase consists of three components: (1) the GO-a computational knowledge structure describing the functional characteristics of genes; (2) GO annotations-evidence-supported statements asserting that a specific gene product has a particular functional characteristic; and (3) GO Causal Activity Models (GO-CAMs)-mechanistic models of molecular "pathways" (GO biological processes) created by linking multiple GO annotations using defined relations. Each of these components is continually expanded, revised, and updated in response to newly published discoveries and receives extensive QA checks, reviews, and user feedback. For each of these components, we provide a description of the current contents, recent developments to keep the knowledgebase up to date with new discoveries, and guidance on how users can best make use of the data that we provide. We conclude with future directions for the project

EFFECT OF CYTOMEGALOVIRUS INFECTION ON THE PREDICTIVE VALUE OF CD-40 LIGAND IN HEART TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS

Cytomegalovirus infection may be associated with the development of acute cellular rejection – the most fre- quent and serious complication after heart transplantation, limiting long-term survival of recipients. Biomarkers of inflammation and thrombosis, one of which is the product of platelet activation – a soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L), also play an important role in the immunopathology of acute rejection. The aim of the study was to assess the risk of cardiovascular complications after heart transplantation under the combined effect of two factors – sCD40L and cytomegalovirus infection. We examined 64 heart recipients in the period of 12 years after heart transplantation. It was revealed that with the presence of elevated levels of sCD40L in combination with cytomegalovirus infection, risk of acute cellular rejection is higher. In recipients with low levels of sCD40L and without cytomegalovirus infection survival rate is significantly higher than in recipients with the presence of one or both of the studied risk factors
