Visions of water transport activation in the expressed in strategic and planning
Published in Prace i Studia Geograficzne
The Vistula Lagoon region has well-established maritime traditions, but socio-economic and geopolitical problems make it difficult to exploit the potential of this location. In the study, a multi-criteria qualitative analysis of strategic and planning documents at four levels (national, supra-regional, regional and local) was carried out in terms o...
A systems genetic analysis identifies putative mechanisms and candidate genes regulating vessel traits in poplar wood
Published in Frontiers in Plant Science
Wood is the water conducting tissue of tree stems. Like most angiosperm trees, poplar wood contains water-conducting vessel elements whose functional properties affect water transport and growth rates, as well as susceptibility to embolism and hydraulic failure during water stress and drought. Here we used a unique hybrid poplar pedigree carrying g...
Dinamično induciran transport vode preko membranskih koprenašalcev
V zadnjem desetletju se je razumevanje molekulskih mehanizmov membranskih prenašalcev dramatično povečalo, predvsem na račun eksperimentalno določenih struktur konformer, ki ustrezajo različnim funkcionalnim stanjem membranskih prenašalcev. Še vedno pa le-teh ni dovolj za natančen opis mehanističnih lastnosti tovrstnih proteinov. Membranski koprena...
Controlling the Water Diffusion Inside Smart 4D-Printed HBC by Functional Channels
Hydromorph Biocomposites (HBCs) are self-shaping materials whose motions are actuated by moisture-induced swelling of natural fibers and designed through a multilayered bioinspired material architecture. Their reactivity, i.e., kinetic of actuation, is relatively slow and is currently limited by the moisture transport. Porosities are commonly assum...
Nature-inspired synthetic oligourea foldamer channels allow water transport with high salt rejection
...
Short helical amphipathic oligourea foldamers were designed with distinct hydrophobic and hydrophilic faces. Two of the foldamers (H2OC1 and H2OC2) obtained by solid phase synthesis self-assembled into channel-type nanostructures that show efficient water permeability across lipid membranes while rejecting ions. A self-assembled quaternary structur...
Analýza vodních zdrojů správního území obce s rozšířenou působností Chomutov využitelných pro hasební zásah / Analysis o...
Téma této bakalářské práce je analýza vodních zdrojů, které jsou k dispozici pro požární zásahy. Požáry jsou závažným nebezpečím, které může ohrozit lidské životy, majetek a životní prostředí. Hasičské jednotky potřebují pro svou činnost dostatečné zásoby vody, které umožní efektivní hašení a omezení škod způsobených požárem. Cílem této práce je po...
Modulation of Membrane Trafficking of AQP5 in the Lens in Response to Changes in Zonular Tension Is Mediated by the Mech...
Published in International journal of molecular sciences
In mice, the contraction of the ciliary muscle via the administration of pilocarpine reduces the zonular tension applied to the lens and activates the TRPV1-mediated arm of a dual feedback system that regulates the lens' hydrostatic pressure gradient. In the rat lens, this pilocarpine-induced reduction in zonular tension also causes the water chann...
Merging Proline:Xylitol Eutectic Solvent in Crosslinked Chitosan Pervaporation Membranes for Enhanced Water Permeation i...
The scope of this research aims at merging a new deep eutectic mixture (DES) into a biopolymer-based membrane for a pervaporation application in dehydrating ethanol. Herein, an L-proline:xylitol (at 5:1) eutectic mixture was successfully synthesized and blended with chitosan (CS). A complete characterization of the hybrid membranes, in terms of mor...
Durability Performance of Hybrid Binder Concretes Containing Non-Ferrous Slag and Recycled Aggregates
Novel hybrid binder concrete mixes with alkali-activated non-ferrous slag (NFS), either alone or in combination with blast furnace slag (BFS), as partial replacement of Portland cement, and containing 50% recycled aggregates, were successfully manufactured. The compressive strength, carbonation resistance, chloride resistance, frost scaling, sorpti...
