TL;DR: The data revealed that already at a concentration of 10 microg/ml, silver nanoparticles specifically interact with Fyn kinase downstream of Ret and impair SSC proliferation in vitro, and it was demonstrated that the particle coating was degraded upon interaction with the intracellular microenvironment, reducing biocompatibility.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental investigation on the performance, combustion and emission characteristics of a port fuel-injection SI engine fueled with IBE-gasoline blends was carried out, and the IBE30 was selected to be compared with G100 under various equivalence ratio (Φ ǫ = 0.83-1) and engine load (300 and 500 kPa BMEP).

TL;DR: In this article, the acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) as an alternative fuel has drawn increasing attention in recent years due to its potential to eliminate various producti...

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of different ABE blends with different component volumetric ratio (A:B:E of 6:3:1, 3:6:1; 0:10:0) was investigated under LTC conditions (ambient temperature of 800 K with varying ambient oxygen content) and high speed camera and flame lift-off lengths were acquired.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combined distillation and esterification to upgrade biocrude into diesel blendstock and performed engine tests using it, showing that 10-20% upgraded distillates blended with diesel showed 96-100% power output, 101-102% NOx, 89-91% CO, 92-125% unburned hydrocarbon and 109-115% soot emissions, compared with regular diesel.
