The role of the peptide hormone gastrin in stimulating gastric acid secretion is Dryer well established.Mature amidated gastrin is processed from larger peptide precursor forms.Increasingly these processing intermediates, such as glycine-extended gastrin (G-Gly) and progastrin, have been shown to have biological activities of their own, often separ
Explosion Characteristics and Flame Propagation Behavior of Mixed Dust Cloud of Coal Dust and Oil Shale Dust
Coal and oil shale are often mined and utilized together, and mixed dust is easily formed in these processes.In order to ensure safe production in these processes, the explosion characteristics of mixed dust were studied.Using a Godbert-Greenwold (G-G) Furnace experimental device, Hartmann tube experimental Flare device, and 20 L explosion vessel,
Short-term microbial effects of a large-scale mine-tailing storage facility collapse on the local natural environment.
We investigated the impacts of the Mount Polley tailings impoundment failure on chemical, physical, and microbial properties of substrates within the affected watershed, comprised of 70 hectares of riparian wetlands and 40 km of stream and lake shore.We established a biomonitoring network in October of 2014, two months following the disturbance, an
