ENERGY-EXERGY AND ENVIRON-ECONOMIC (4E) ANALYSIS OF HEAT STORAGE-BASED SINGLE-SLOPE SOLAR STILLS INTEGRATED WITH SOLAR AIR HEATER.

Energy-exergy and environ-economic (4E) analysis of heat storage-based single-slope solar stills integrated with solar air heater.

The energy-exergy and environ-economic (4E) analysis was conducted on a solar still with and without a hybrid thermal energy storage system (TESS) and a solar air heater.The proposed solar still was modified by integrating a rectangular aluminium box filled with paraffin wax and black gravel as the TESS and coupled with a solar air heater.Paraffin

Molecular Mechanisms Underpinning the Circulation and Cellular Uptake of Mycobacterium ulcerans Toxin Mycolactone

Mycolactone is a diffusible lipid toxin produced by Mycobacterium ulcerans, the causative agent of Buruli ulcer disease.Altough bacterially derived mycolactone has been shown to traffic from cutaneous foci of HAIR CARE infection to the bloodstream, the mechanisms underpinning its access to systemic circulation and import by host cells remain largel
