Recent Advances in Heterostructured Cathodic Electrocatalysts for Non-aqueous Li-O2 Batteries

Developing efficient energy storage and conversion applications is vital to address fossil energy depletion and global warming. Li-O2 batteries are one of the most promising devices because of their ultra-high...

CLIMATE CHANGE, DEPLETION OF ENERGY RESOURCES , AND GREENHOUSE EFFECT

Protecting the green - clean - beautiful living environment is a matter of concern for the whole world. There are many global or regional conferences that have been held to discuss and find a way to solve that problem. In which, climate change, energy depletion and greenhouse effect are hot issues, this is one of the biggest challenges facing humanity in the 21st century because they are directly affecting to ecosystems, environmental resources and human life.

Modeling Energy Depletion in Rat Livers Using Nash Equilibrium Metabolic Pathway Analysis

The current gold standard of Static Cold Storage (SCS), which is static cold storage on ice (about +4°C) in a specialized media such as the University of Wisconsin solution (UW), limits storage to few hours for vascular and metabolically active tissues such as the liver and the heart. The liver is arguably the pinnacle of metabolism in human body and therefore metabolic pathway analysis immediately becomes very relevant. In this article, a Nash Equilibrium (NE) approach, which is a first principles approach, is used to model and simulate the static cold storage of a proposed model of liver cells. Simulations of energy depletion in the liver in static cold storage measured by ATP content and energy charge are presented along with comparisons to experimental data. In addition, conversion of Nash Equilibrium iterations to time are described along with an uncertainty analysis for the parameters in the model. Results in this work show that the Nash Equilibrium approach provides a good match to experimental data for energy depletion and that the uncertainty in model parameters is very small with percent variances less than 0.1%.
