Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Act (and CFATS) by Luke Simpson

Dec 17 2009

Chemical and water facilities are high on the current administration's list of security priorities, with the Chemical Facility Antiterrorism Act of 2009 under review by lawmakers. The bill would broaden federal juristiction over facility secutiry, and would also make inherently safer

Calculating radiation exposures during use of (14)C-labeled nutrients, food components, and biopharmaceuticals to quantify metabolic behavior in humans.

Sep 4

(14)C has long been used as a tracer for quantifying the in vivo human metabolism of food components, biopharmaceuticals, and nutrients. Minute amounts (< or =1 x 10 (-18) mol) of (14)C can be measured with high-throughput (14)C-accelerator mass spectrometry (HT (14)C-AMS) in...

Elevated CO2 increases plant uptake of organic and inorganic N in the desert shrub Larrea tridentata.

Aug 29

Resource limitations, such as the availability of soil nitrogen (N), are expected to constrain continued increases in plant productivity under elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO(2)). One potential but under-studied N source for supporting increased plant growth under...

Autocatalysis and organocatalysis with synthetic structures.

Aug 7

The discovery of ribozymes led to the proposal of an RNA world, where a single type of molecule was supposedly capable of self-replication and chemical catalysis. We show here that both autocatalysis and organocatalysis can be engineered into a synthetic structure. The compound...
