Globally, the major source of environmental pollution as a result of mineral exploitation and processing is acid mine drainage (AMD).AMD refers to outflowing streams of acidic constituents from pyrite-bearing ore mines.The exposure of pyrite (FeS2) in coal waste dumps to atmospheric oxygen and water in the presence of microbial communities promotes
EFFECT OF BACTERIAL CURING AND BACTERIAL ADDITIVE ON CONCRETE PROPERTIES
In this study, calcium carbonate was formed on the surfaces and inner structure of concrete using the microbially induced carbonate precipitation method.Bacillus megaterium bacteria were supplemented into the curing water and concrete mixtures.Three types of concrete were tested: control concrete, bacteria-containing concrete, and concrete cured in
The Cytoprotective and Cytotoxic Functions of Autophagy in Response to mTOR Inhibitors
The inhibitors of mammalian target of rapapmycin (mTOR), everolimus, temsirolimus and rapamycin, have a wide range of clinical utility; however, as is inevitably the case with other chemotherapeutic agents, resistance development constrains their effectiveness.One putative mechanism of resistance is the square nut promotion of autophagy, which is a
Convergent, functionally independent signaling by mu and delta opioid receptors in hippocampal parvalbumin interneurons
Functional interactions between G protein-coupled receptors are poised to enhance neuronal sensitivity to neuromodulators and therapeutic drugs.Mu and delta Filters opioid receptors (MORs and DORs) can interact when overexpressed in the same cells, but whether co-expression of endogenous MORs and DORs in neurons leads to functional interactions is
The Construction of a Skin-on-Frame Canoe at Kierikki Stone Age Centre, Finland, as a Medium for Group Training in Ancient Skills and Experiential Learning
In July 2018 a group of students from the UK participating in the Placements in Environmental, Archaeological and Traditional Skills (PEATS) Erasmus + Work Placement, attended the Kierikki Stone Age Centre, Pahkalantie, Finland.Part of that training included experimental / experiential Hair projects that were Accessories:Car Parts:Air Intake coordi
