TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental and numerical study was performed to investigate the impact of B20 (blends 20% Rapeseed methyl ester with 80 % Diesel volumetric fraction) and different energetic fractions of hydrogen content (between 0 and 5%) on the mixture formation, combustion characteristics, engine performance and pollutant emissions formation.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that lectin does not inhibit mycelial growth but irreversibly inhibits conidia germination and alters the germ tubes; and chitinases block mycelia growth as well as conidia Germination and lyse germ tubes.
Abstract: We have purified from potato tubers, the lectin STA devoid of chitinase activity and two chitinases devoid of lectin activity. Both enzymes are 16 kDa glycoproteins, and probably belong to a new family of plant chitinases. The respective antifungal properties of lectin and chitinases were studied by following their effects against early developmental stages of Fusarium oxysporum, a fungal potato pathogen. Here we demonstrate that: (1) lectin does not inhibit mycelial growth but irreversibly inhibits conidia germination and alters the germ tubes; and (2) chitinases block mycelial growth as well as conidia germination and lyse germ tubes.

TL;DR: An artificial ion-channel formed by H-bonded stacks of crown-ethers, where K(+) cation conduction is highly preferred to Na(+ cations, which may be regarded as a biomimetic of the KcsA channel.
Abstract: The bacterial KcsA channel conducts K(+) cations at high rates while excluding Na(+) cations. Herein, we report an artificial ion-channel formed by H-bonded stacks of crown-ethers, where K(+) cation conduction is highly preferred to Na(+) cations. The macrocycles aligned along the central pore surround the K(+) cations in a similar manner to the water around the hydrated cation, compensating for the energetic cost of their dehydration. In contrast, the Na(+) cation does not fit the macrocyclic binding sites, so its dehydration is not completely compensated. The present highly K(+)-selective macrocyclic channel may be regarded as a biomimetic of the KcsA channel.
