TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the research and development of polymeric pervaporation membranes from the perspective of membrane fabrication procedures and materials, and showed that the membrane is one of the crucial factors in determining the overall efficiency of separation process.

TL;DR: In vivo evidence for a lactate gradient is a prerequisite for a carrier-mediated lactate flux from astrocytes to neurons and thus supports theAstrocyte-neuron lactate shuttle model, in which astroCyte-derived lactate acts as an energy substrate for neurons.

TL;DR: The seafloor beneath this Arctic sector is hypothesized as an important sink of plastic debris given the limited surface transport of the plastic that accumulated here and the mechanisms acting for the downward transport, which would be a dead end for this plastic conveyor belt.
Abstract: The subtropical ocean gyres are recognized as great marine accummulation zones of floating plastic debris; however, the possibility of plastic accumulation at polar latitudes has been overlooked because of the lack of nearby pollution sources. In the present study, the Arctic Ocean was extensively sampled for floating plastic debris from the Tara Oceans circumpolar expedition. Although plastic debris was scarce or absent in most of the Arctic waters, it reached high concentrations (hundreds of thousands of pieces per square kilometer) in the northernmost and easternmost areas of the Greenland and Barents seas. The fragmentation and typology of the plastic suggested an abundant presence of aged debris that originated from distant sources. This hypothesis was corroborated by the relatively high ratios of marine surface plastic to local pollution sources. Surface circulation models and field data showed that the poleward branch of the Thermohaline Circulation transfers floating debris from the North Atlantic to the Greenland and Barents seas, which would be a dead end for this plastic conveyor belt. Given the limited surface transport of the plastic that accumulated here and the mechanisms acting for the downward transport, the seafloor beneath this Arctic sector is hypothesized as an important sink of plastic debris.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that configuration and fuel (pure chemicals in laboratory media vs actual wastewaters) remain the key factors in power performance of microbial fuel cells, while the high cost of membranes will likely limit applications of microbial electrochemical technologies that might require a membrane.
Abstract: Different microbial electrochemical technologies are being developed for many diverse applications, including wastewater treatment, biofuel production, water desalination, remote power sources, and biosensors. Current and energy densities will always be limited relative to batteries and chemical fuel cells, but these technologies have other advantages based on the self-sustaining nature of the microorganisms that can donate or accept electrons from an electrode, the range of fuels that can be used, and versatility in the chemicals that can be produced. The high cost of membranes will likely limit applications of microbial electrochemical technologies that might require a membrane. For microbial fuel cells, which do not need a membrane, questions about whether larger-scale systems can produce power densities similar to those obtained in laboratory-scale systems remain. It is shown here that configuration and fuel (pure chemicals in laboratory media vs actual wastewaters) remain the key factors in power pro...

TL;DR: An integrated expression atlas of miRNAs and their promoters by deep-sequencing 492 short RNA libraries, with matching Cap Analysis Gene Expression (CAGE) data, is created, establishing a foundation for detailed analysis of miRNA expression patterns and transcriptional control regions.
Abstract: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs with key roles in cellular regulation. As part of the fifth edition of the Functional Annotation of Mammalian Genome (FANTOM5) project, we created an integrated expression atlas of miRNAs and their promoters by deep-sequencing 492 short RNA (sRNA) libraries, with matching Cap Analysis Gene Expression (CAGE) data, from 396 human and 47 mouse RNA samples. Promoters were identified for 1,357 human and 804 mouse miRNAs and showed strong sequence conservation between species. We also found that primary and mature miRNA expression levels were correlated, allowing us to use the primary miRNA measurements as a proxy for mature miRNA levels in a total of 1,829 human and 1,029 mouse CAGE libraries. We thus provide a broad atlas of miRNA expression and promoters in primary mammalian cells, establishing a foundation for detailed analysis of miRNA expression patterns and transcriptional control regions.
