Increasingly complex networks of small RNAs act through RNA-interference (RNAi) pathways
to regulate gene expression, to mediate antiviral responses, to organize chromosomal …

The solubilities of gases in ionic liquids are important in evaluating ionic liquids as solvents
for reactions involving permanent gases, as gas storage media, and as solvents for gas …

Supercritical fluids (SCF's) are powerful solvents with many unique properties. They have
great potential for many extraction processes, but reliable and versatile mathematical models …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression in plants
and animals. Although their biological importance has become clear, how they recognize and …

When the chemical engineering profession developed near the beginning of the last century,
essentially all of the solvents available for controlling reactions, performing separations, …

Drosophila Piwi-family proteins have been implicated in transposon control. Here, we examine
piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) associated with each Drosophila Piwi protein and find …

In plants and mammals, small RNAs indirectly mediate epigenetic inheritance by specifying
cytosine methylation. We found that small RNAs themselves serve as vectors for epigenetic …

Many organic solvents evaporate into the atmosphere with detrimental effects on the
environment and human health. But room-temperature ionic liquids, with low viscosity and no …

Experimental and molecular modeling studies are conducted to investigate the underlying
mechanisms for the high solubility of CO 2 in imidazolium-based ionic liquids. CO 2 …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are salts that are liquid at low temperatures, usually including the region
around room temperature. They are under intense investigation, especially as replacement …
