Abstract: An electrostatic charging air cleaning device. The device includes a pre-charger configured to generate a corona discharge to electrostatically charge particulate matter in an air stream. The device further includes a separator downstream from the pre-charger configured to convey the electrostatically charged particulate matter and formed of an insulative material. The device also includes a collection electrode configured to receive and to absorb the conveyed electrostatically charged particulate matter. The collection electrode includes a substrate material and a coating layer coated onto the substrate material. The coating layer includes a carbon black material and a polymeric binder. The substrate material is a metal plate including mechanical perforations.

Abstract: The present invention provides FAHD1 for use in a method for the treatment or prevention of aberrations of the energy metabolism of the nervous system, pancreas, kidney, liver, muscles or adipose tissue. Further, a method of decarboxylating an organic compound is provided, which uses FAHD1 to decarboxylate the organic compound. Additionally, a method and a kit for identifying inhibitors of FAHD1 are provided.
