Abstract: Methods for constructing multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) antenna arrays, may include: variable doping of the MWCNTs, forming light pipes with layers of variable dielectric glass, forming geometric diodes on full-wave rectified devices that propagate both electrons and holes, using clear conductive ground plans to form windows that can control a building's internal temperature, and generating multiple lithographic patterns with a single mask.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for employing nanobubbles for theranostic purposes are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprising introducing a photothermal nanobubble into a malaria-infected red blood cell is provided.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to recombinant adult human apohemoglobin (apo-rHb) in which the stability has been increased by replacement of an amino acid with a counterpart from another organism, such as a deep sea diving mammal. This mutated apo-rHb may be more stable and/or give higher production yields than unmutated adult human apo-rHb. The mutated apo-rHb may be produced in microorganisms, such as E. coli or yeast cells, or animal erythroid cells. Some apo-rHb of the present disclosure may be used as part of a blood substitute.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the use of AHSP to stabilize the ? subunit of rHb. AHSP may be co-expressed with the hemoglobin genes. AHSP stabilization may be used to increase the production of intact rHb in various systems, such as E. coli, other microorganisms, or animal erythroid cells. This intact rHb may then be used as part of a blood substitute product.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel recombinant hemoglobins having reduced nitric oxide scavenging and/or increased high soluble expression. The invention further relates to methods of increasing the soluble expression of recombinant hemoglobin by adding exogenous hemin in molar excess of the heme binding sites of recombinant hemoglobin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of reducing heme loss in hemoglobins to produce stability and improve expression yield of hemoglobins, particularly recombinant hemoglobins. Such methods are accomplished by introducing mutations in the alpha or beta subunits of hemoglobins to increase heme affinity. The present invention further relates to novel mutations that reduce such heme loss.

Abstract: This invention relates to recombinant hemoglobins containing mutations in or near the heme pocket of the hemoglobin molecule. This invention particularly relates to recombinant hemoglobins that have altered geometry or polarity around the distal portion of the heme pocket.

Abstract: The invention provides an improved alkylation process and reactor apparatus. The invention utilizes a vessel containing a riser-reactor conduit, an acid settler and an acid cooler. Hydrocarbons are introduced beneath said riser-reactor conduit, mixed with acid catalyst, and passed generally upwards through the riser-reactor conduit to enter the acid settler. Within the acid settler, alkylate is separate from the acid catalyst and is removed from the vessel. Acid catalyst from the acid settler is cooled in the internal acid coolers and returned to the region beneath the riser-reactor conduit.

Abstract: In a fractional distillation process, the operation of a reflux pump in the process is enhanced by providing that liquid discharged from the reflux pump is returned directly to the reflux pump suction during the periods when the liquid reflux supply from the fractional distillation process is not sufficient to keep the reflux pump in constant operation.

Abstract: Hydrocarbons are preheated, particularly for a hydrodesulfurization process by first heating the hydrocarbon stream to produce a vapor and a liquid stream, thereafter superheating at least some of the vapor phase and mixing the superheated vapor phase with the liquid phase to generate the hydrocarbon feedstream at the desired temperature. By this procedure only the evaporated hydrocarbons are subjected to a high temperature, but not the heavier hydrocarbons.
