Basic information and research results of the process combined rolling-extruding have been represented, which have been used to create new energy-saving technologies for obtaining of long deformed semi-finished products of small cross-section. It has been shown that such combined processing technologies may be applicable for the machining of low ductility and low-tech aluminium alloys with high metal yield and high productivity.

Background: The role of Fe+2, Cu+2 and Zn+2 in facilitating aggregation of Amyloid β (Aβ) and consequently, the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is well established. Objective: Development of non-toxic metal chelators is an emerging era in the treatment of AD, in which complete success has not been fully achieved. The purpose of this study was to determine plant extracts with high metal chelator and to encapsulate them in nano-micellar systems with the ability to pass through the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB). Method: Extracts of 36 different Anatolian plants were prepared, total phenolic and flavonoid contents were determined, and the extracts with high content were examined for their Fe+2, Cu+2 and Zn+2 chelating activities. Apolipoprotein E4 (Apo E) decorated nano-formulations of active extracts were prepared using Poly (Lactide-co-Glycolide) (PLGA) (final product ApoEPLGA) to provide BBB penetrating property. Results: Verbascum flavidum aqueous extract was found as the most active sample, incubation of which, with Aβ before and after metal-induced aggregation, resulted in successful inhibition of aggregate formation, while re-solubilization of pre-formed aggregates was not effectively achieved. The same results were obtained using ApoEPLGA. Conclusion: An optimized metal chelator nano-formulation with BBB penetrating ability was prepared and presented for further in-vivo studies.

Low-profile visualized intraluminal support deployment in an Enterprise has been reported; however, that in an Atlas has yet to be in detail. Enterprise has a closed-cell design, while Atlas has an open-cell design. We detail here a case of a large wide-necked aneurysm treated by coil embolization with low-profile visualized intraluminal support Blue deployment within a Neuroform Atlas and a bench-top experiment using a silicon tube to test low-profile visualized intraluminal support, Atlas, Enterprise, and their combinations. A better low-profile visualized intraluminal support expansion was achieved by simultaneously pushing the wire and the system within the Atlas placed at the aneurysm neck, which resulted in an increased metal coverage of the aneurysm neck and a shorter transition zone with low metal coverage at both ends of the aneurysm neck. This technique may enable a high metal coverage by low-profile visualized intraluminal support expansion without restriction by the Atlas and contribute to aneurysm occlusion by increasing the flow-diverting effect.

Haloarchaea can survive and thrive under exposure to a wide range of extreme environmental factors, which represents a potential interest to biotechnology. Growth responses to different stressful conditions were examined in the haloarchaeon Haloferax mediterranei R4. It has been demonstrated that this halophilic archaeon is able to grow between 10 and 32.5% (w/v) of sea water, at 32–52 °C, although it is expected to grow in temperatures lower than 32 °C, and between 5.75 and 8.75 of pH. Moreover, it can also grow under high metal concentrations (nickel, lithium, cobalt, arsenic), which are toxic to most living beings, making it a promising candidate for future biotechnological purposes and industrial applications. Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis quantified the intracellular ion concentrations of these four metals in Hfx. mediterranei, concluding that this haloarchaeon can accumulate Li+, Co2+, As5+, and Ni2+ within the cell. This paper is the first report on Hfx. mediterranei in which multiple stress conditions have been studied to explore the mechanism of stress resistance. It constitutes the most detailed study in Haloarchaea, and, as a consequence, new biotechnological and industrial applications have emerged.

Overall Efficiency

The sludge wastes generated by the metal plating industries are classified as hazardous wastes because of their high concentration of heavy metals. Amongst the various routes for their treatment, the hydrometallurgical processes are highly attractive because they can be tailored to the wide compositional range of such wastes and assure its metals recovery and/or toxicity reduction. In these processes the leaching operation is paramount to the overall efficiency. In this, the mixing of the leaching solution with sludge has to be effective in order to obtain high levels of metal extraction and make the process attractive. Most of the available data refers to laboratory tests. This paper reports on the use of CFD model to optimize the operation of a pilot size leaching tank. The results regarding the velocity field were compared with experimental data and proved that such techniques can be effectively applied to improve the process. A leaching experiment, with the best configuration for the mixing, yielded a high metal extraction, suggesting that this technique can be successfully implemented for the treatment of such wastes.

Product Species

Metallothioneins (MTs) are characterized by their high metal loading capacity, small molecular weight, and abundant cysteine residues. It has long been thought that metal-free, or apo-MT peptides were unstructured and only adopted as a distinct conformation upon forming the metal clusters, described as metal-induced folding. More recent studies have suggested that the presence of a globular, yet loosely defined structure actually exists that can be disrupted or unfolded. Residue modification and ion-mobility ESI (IM-ESI)-MS have been used to examine this unusual unfolding process. The structure of apo-MT plays a critical role as the starting point in the flexible metalation pathways that can accommodate numerous soft metals. ESI-MS measurements of the product species formed following the cysteine alkylation of the isolated domain fragments of recombinant human apo-MT 1A with n-ethylmaleimide (NEM) were used in the present study to monitor the denaturant- and heat-induced unfolding at physiological pH. The results indicate that these apo-MT fragments adopt distinct structures at neutral pH that react co-operatively with NEM when folded and non-cooperatively when heated or exposed to high concentrations of the denaturant guanidinium chloride (GdmCl). From these studies, we can conclude that at neutral pH, the domain fragments are folded into globular structures where some of the free cysteine residues are buried within the core and are stabilized by hydrogen bonds. Metalation therefore, must take place from the folded conformation.
