Pressure Regulators: How to Pick the Best One for High-Purity Use

Pressure regulators are highly technical and specialized fluid handling components. When selecting a regulator, make sure to define application needs with consideration not only to pressure requirements but also to flow rate, gas/liquid composition, and temperature. Proper selection can avoid undesirable conditions such as droop and creep while poor selection can lead to failures such as improper pressure control and contamination of gas streams.

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

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...

A chemical genetic screen for modulators of exocytic transport identifies inhibitors of a transport mechanism linked to GTR2 function.
