A model of the temporal and spatial distribution of carbon monoxide in the mixed layer
… the presence of a diurnal cycle in the concentration of carbon monoxide ([CO]) in the upper ocean at the BATS site. A series of laboratory experiments and numerical simulations were carried out to assess the diurnal variation in [CO] both at the sea surface and in the upper layers of the …

Characterization and engineering of sugar transporters in the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus for biotechnological applications
… biorefineries requires the simultaneous consumption of all the sugars present in this raw material, hexoses and pentoses. This represents a key bottleneck because of the low number of specific pentose transporters identified and the slow rate of pentose uptake into the yeast cell when …

The bioavailability of sulforaphane from broccoli products in men and its epigenetic activity
Epidemiological data show a correlation between broccoli consumption and an anti-cancer benefit. This benefit is attributed to the isothiocyanate sulforaphane (SF). Sulforaphane is derived from the myrosinase-catalyzed hydrolysis of glucoraphanin. Both glucoraphanin and myrosinase are present in …

Alcohol-induced activation of the mesocorticolimbic dopaminergic system and its modulation by energy drinks and caffeine: neurochemical, behavioral, and immunohistochemical analysis
The co-consumption of alcohol and caffeinated energy drinks among adolescents represents a growing public health concern, raising questions about its negative impact on the developing brain. Therefore, this PhD thesis aimed to investigate the effects of alcohol and caffeine, as well as alcohol and …

Waste to fuel: designing a cobalt based catalyst and process for once-through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis operated at high conversion
… The Fischer-Tropsch process can be used to convert waste into drop-in fuels. However, operating at small scale in remote locations requires a plant design with lower capital requirements, a greater level of simplicity and utility self-sufficiency. A plant design using an air-fed biogas …
