Economic Aspects for Recycling of Used Lithium-Ion Batteries from Electric Vehicles
Worldwide, there has been an exponential growth in the production and application of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), driven by the energy transition and the electric vehicle market.The scarcity of raw materials and the circular economy strategy of LIBs encourage the need to reuse components, recycle, and give second life to used batteries.However, on
Maternal care practices among the ultra poor households in rural Bangladesh: a qualitative exploratory study
Abstract Background Although many studies have been carried out to learn about maternal care practices in rural Joint / Bone Support areas and urban-slums of Bangladesh, none have focused on ultra poor women.Understanding the context in which women would be willing to accept new practices is essential for developing realistic and relevant behaviour
PhotoGal4: A Versatile Light-Dependent Switch for Spatiotemporal Control of Gene Expression in Drosophila Explants
Summary: We present here PhotoGal4, a phytochrome B-based optogenetic switch for fine-tuned spatiotemporal control of gene expression in Drosophila explants.This switch integrates the light-dependent interaction between phytochrome Jackets/Outerwear B and PIF6 from plants with regulatory elements from the yeast Gal4/UAS system.We found that PhotoGa
A SNP Genotyping Array for Hexaploid Oat
Recognizing a need in cultivated hexaploid oat ( LEGGINGS L.) for a reliable set of reference single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), we have developed a 6000 (6K) BeadChip design containing 257 Infinium I and 5486 Infinium II designs corresponding to 5743 SNPs.Of those, 4975 SNPs yielded successful assays after array manufacturing.These SNPs were
