Well, here's a startup that wants to make this money-for-data transfer a little more explicit — by acting as a platform for consumers to sell their own data directly to companies and make some of that filthy lucre themselves.
This paper demonstrates the capacity of dense suspensions of solid particles to transfer concentrated solar power from a tubular receiver to an energy conversion process by acting as a heat transfer fluid.
sCD14 accelerates the transfer between LPS micelles and lipoproteins by acting as a carrier.
Engineered microparticles may decrease environmental contamination, horizontal gene transfer and competition with native species by acting as a barrier between recombinant bacteria and the environment.
Recent advances in comparative genomics and metagenomics have uncovered a vast viral diversity and have shown that viruses are active regulators of cell populations and that they can influence cell evolution by acting as vectors for gene transfer among cells.
NADPH oxidase enzymes are a source of ROS and are involved in redox signalling by acting as catalysts for electron transfer from NADPH to molecular oxygen, resulting in the generation of free radicals [ 75].
Risks must be prioritised in accordance with their potential impact, gravity and probability and, if found to be unacceptable, must be treated in one of three different ways: reducing them by acting on their causes or consequences, transferring them to an insurer or via a contract, and covering them by anticipating a financial provision.
However, metal nanoparticles can catalyze the reaction by acting as an electronic relay agent to transfer electron from NaBH4 to the nitro compounds [32, 34].
In the TCS signalling pathway, the RRs function as terminal components by acting as phosphorylation-activated switches that catalyse the transfer of the phosphoryl group to a conserved Asp in its own regulatory domain.
For example, NR2F2 has been shown to determine hepatoma phenotype by acting both as a transcriptional repressor of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) and an inducer of CYP7A1 [43].
