(2012-11-12)
The Lower Pennsylvanian Pottsville Formation is a classic clastic wedge of the Appalachian mountain system composed of interbedded sandstone, siltstone, claystone, shale, and coal beds with orthoquartzitic conglomerate at ...
Sequential graft-Interpenetrating polymer networks based on polyurethane and acrylic/ester copolymers
(2015-12-04)
Highly transparent and tough graft-interpenetrating polymer networks (graft-IPNs) were synthesized using an elastomeric polyurethane phase (PU) and a highly stiff acrylate-base copolymer phase. The grafting points between ...
Sequestosome 1/p62 and TRAF6 are necessary for Akt ubiquitination, translocation and activation
(2014-11-24)
Defects in protein-protein interactions of the insulin signaling pathway result in insulin resistance that precedes type 2 diabetes. The protein Akt is the primary modulator of cellular glucose uptake through the GLUT4 ...
