However, despite the utility and broad use of organic sol gel processes – such as the ubiquitous resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) reaction, there are details of the reaction chemistries of these important sol gel processes that remain poorly understood at present.
As support for this thesis Ehrenfels points to organic metaphors for social processes (such as competition for limited resources) as well as the purposeful unity displayed by bee swarms that collectively act like a single organism.
The origin-of-life problem largely reduces to determination of an organic, nonbiological source of certain processes such as the identity maintained by metabolism, growth, and reproduction (i.e., autopoiesis).
This technique allows enhanced synthesis of polymer grafted membranes using relatively green reaction solvent and enables "structure-by-design" surface morphology control with future applications in membrane separation processes such as organic solvent nanofiltration, gas separations, and desalination.
In aquatic ecosystems, ecological processes such as organic matter mineralization and nutrient cycling are regulated by benthic O2 in sediments, and application of in situ techniques in field environments has the potential to better define the links between O2 dynamics and the unique biogeochemical phenomena occurring in these regions.
The enrichment analysis using GOstats [ 33] showed that the DEGs are associated with various metabolic processes such as organic acid metabolism, steroid and lipid metabolic processes (Additional file 2).
Fungi are versatile eukaryotes that occupy different ecological niches and are responsible for several important processes, such as organic matter decomposition, symbiotic association and pathogenicity in animals and plants.
In female liver, STAT5 binding sites coincided with GAS motifs located near genes contributing to metabolic processes, such as organic acids, carboxylic acids and lipid metabolic pathways (binomial Bonferroni P-value < 2.4 × 10-7).
Eventually, malachite green was degraded into oxalic acid as a small molecular organic acid, which was degraded by processes such as demethylation, deamination, nitration, substitution, addition, and other reactions.
DAVID heat map analyses identified 18 genes with an expression range of 1.50 to 8.52 that functionally clustered into common GO terms related to organic acid metabolism and other associated processes such as cellular ketone metabolism, oxoacid metabolism and carboxylic acid metabolism.
