… found that CD4 + and CD8 + T-cell migration toward the supernatants released from
human rhinovirus-infected bronchial epithelial cells was decreased 1 h after completing a 2-h …

The majority of natural proteins contain (oligo)-saccharide side chains and therefore are
called glycoproteins. The saccharide residues are covalently linked to the protein backbone …

Cost, durability, performance, reliability, efficiency, and size are some of the requirements
that must be met before proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells can be used more …

In proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), gas diffusion layers serve as current
collectors that allow ready access of fuel and oxidant to the anode and the cathode catalyst …

… 273A) with a flow rate of 50 cm 3 of 4% H 2 (balance N 2 ) on the anode and 50 cm 3 of N
2 on the cathode. A lower concentration of H 2 was used minimize the effect of H 2 crossover. …

We study a class of random finite difference operators, a typical example of which is the finite
difference Schrödinger operator with a random potential which arises in solid state physics …

Composite silica/Nafion ® membranes were prepared using a tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS)
hydrolysis sol–gel reaction followed by solution casting. Physico-chemical properties of the …

Aging is associated with a decline in the normal functioning of the immune system that is
described by the canopy term “immunosenescence”. This contributes to poorer vaccine …

Tethered bilayer lipid membranes (tBLMs) mimick the biological cytoplasmic membrane and
are promising tools for basic research and biosensor applications. They comprise a lipid …

… the chloroplast in exchange for H + influx to avoid osmotic swelling and bursting of the
organelle. Uptake of H + is balanced by either the envelope H + -ATPases or H + uptake into the …
