Major progress occurred in understanding inborn errors of ketone body transport and metabolism between the International Congresses on Inborn Errors of Metabolism in Barcelona (2013) and Rio de Janeiro (2017). These conditions impair either ketogenesis (presenting as episodes of hypoketotic hypoglycemia) or ketolysis (presenting as ketoacidotic episodes); for both groups, immediate intravenous glucose administration is the most critical and (mHGGCS, HMGCS2) effective treatment measure.
3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A lyase (HMGCL, HMGCL) deficiency is a rare inborn error of ketogenesis. Even if the ketogenic enzyme is fully disrupted, an elevated signal for the ketone body acetoacetic acid is a frequent observation in the analysis of urinary organic acids, at least if derivatization is performed by methylation. We provide an explanation for this phenomenon and trace it back to degradation of the derivatized 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acid and high temperature of the injector of the gas chromatograph.
Pozzolanic properties of Pennisetum purpureum grass ash were tested on Portland cement. Results show that the ash can be blended with cements without compromising binding strength of the cement. It was found that Portland cement could be blended with Pennisetum purpureum up to a ratio of 3:2 compromising compressive strength of mortar.Mortar with lower cement replacement took longer to set as evidenced by lower compressive strength within the 28-day aging time. Mortar with higher cement replacement had lower water absorption capacity, an indication that the test pozzolan was of smaller particulate size. XRF analysis and the FTIR spectrum showed that the ash has a higher content of silica. The XRD pattern of the ash showed that the ash was predominantly amorphous. SEM images showed that the ash produced at 600 o C had residual carbon material.
Influence of design of extrusion blow molding (EBM) in terms of extrusion direction set-up and draw ratio as well as process conditions (mold temperature) on storage modulus of high density polyethylene EBM containers was analyzed with dynamic mechanical analysis. All three parameters - mold temperature, flow direction and draw ratio - are statistically significant and lead to relative and absolute evaluation of storage modulus. Furthermore, flow induced changes in crystallinity was analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry. Obtained data on deformation properties can be employed for more sophisticated finite element simulations with the aim to reach more sustainable extrusion blow molding production.
Die Freiheit in Forschung und Lehre ist zusammen mit der Wissenschaftsfreiheit eines der bürgerlichen Grundrechte in Deutschland. Aber die Forschungsfreiheit kann nicht grenzenlos sein. Industrie wie akademische Institute müssen ihre Entwicklungen dokumentieren. Nur so ist ein Stoff später für die Vermarktung zulassungsfähig und nur so lässt sich belegen, wer die Urheberrechte daran hat.
