Understanding the phenology of emergences can be useful in determining seasonal chironomid life cycle patterns, which are often influenced by ice cover and temperature in cold climates.Lake Superior is the largest lake in North America and with a mean surface temperature of 3.9 °C influences regional climate.Coastal pools at Isle Royale, a wildern
Surface Modification of Silica Nanoparticles with Ethyl Oleate for the Purpose of Stabilizing Nanolubricants Used for Tribological Tests
Long-term sustainability and decreasing amount of fossil oil reserves require a partial or complete transformation of traditional lubricating oils.The use of silica nanoparticles as a lubricant additive has a huge tribological potential, which has already been discussed in numerous articles.Nanosized silica shows excellent results in reducing frict
Biological conversion of methanol by evolved Escherichia coli carrying a linear methanol assimilation pathway
Abstract Background Methanol is regarded as a biorenewable platform feedstock because nearly all bioresources can be converted into methanol through syngas.Biological conversion of methanol using synthetic methylotrophs has thus gained worldwide attention.Results Herein, to endow 9 Piece Dining Set Escherichia coli with the ability to utilize metha
