— As the Obama administration inches closer to a decision on whether to approve construction of the much-debated Keystone XL pipeline, costly cleanup efforts in two communities stricken by oil spills portend the potential hazards of transporting heavy Canadian crude.
Because of the intense radiation, the potential dangers of transporting that material are higher, said Daniel Hersch, former director of the Stevenson Program on Nuclear Policy at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who is president of the Committee to Bridge the Gap, a nuclear policy organization in California.
Among these, SLCO1B1 was selected for further evaluation given its known physiological relevance for a broad set of drugs and its potential role of transporting flavopiridol into liver for subsequent metabolism and excretion.
Thus, in addition to being highly hydrophobic, Btn1p could be a mobile protein with the potential capacity of transporting different kinds of lipid species among cell membranes.
In September 1969 three California-based artists, Joe Hawley, Mel Henderson, and Alfred Young, took to the San Francisco Bay near an oil refinery and spelled the word "oil" with non-toxic dye, awakening people to the potential environmental hazards of transporting the fuel.
This target is chosen in order to test the potential of biofuel assets in Sweden, facilitating the transition to renewable fuel systems, and to display the potential of transport energy demand at macrolevel under tighter conditions on the energy market after fossil oil production has peaked.
It has been reported that MCT2 and MCT4 have the potential to transport a range of monocarboxylates (Halestrap and Price, 1999).
The decision to transport an ARDS patient is based on an assessment of the potential benefits of transport weighed against the potential risks.
Thus, this decision should be based on a careful assessment of the potential benefits of transport weighed against the potential risk [ 15].
The optical and potential charge –transporting properties of the polymers has been carefully investigated by UV-Vis, fluorescence emission spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry.
