STRIPS bijels could potentially be used as reaction media for biphasic enzymatic reactions of hydrophobic substrates by enabling rapid interphase mass transfer. This method enables continuous fabrication of bijels in diverse formats (nanoparticle, fiber, and membrane), potentially enabling various applications in biphasic chemical processes (Fig. Although the first examples of bijels were produced by arresting thermally quenched mixtures of oil and water, a recent study has demonstrated that bijels can be continuously produced using a wide variety of oil and nanoparticles by solvent transfer-induced phase separation (STRIPS). The size of the biphasic domains in bijels can be systematically varied, even below the micrometer scale, by changing the size and concentration of nanoparticles 30. Unlike typical emulsions, the structures in bijels do not undergo coarsening over time due to the rigidity provided by the interfacially jammed nanoparticle layers. The bijel is a structurally stable biphasic bicontinuous emulsion generated by jamming nanoparticles at the interface between immiscible liquids during spinodal decomposition 28, 29. Recently, a new class of biphasic liquid mixture known as bicontinuous interfacially jammed emulsion gel (bijel) has been introduced. However, these emulsion-based systems do not offer the possibility of performing reactive separation continuously because the dispersed phase remain isolated, making it challenging to add or remove agents to/from the dispersed phase. Particle-stabilized Pickering emulsions offer great potential to enable reactive separation of biphasic reactions using enzymes 23, 24, 25, 26, 27. Surfactants at the interface also form barriers to interphase mass transfer, reducing the efficacy of the enzymatic process. Although the interfacial area could be increased by energy-intensive emulsification, the addition of surfactants 11, or the use of sponge phases 12, 13 and microemulsions 14, 15, 16, these approaches may not be favored because enzymes can be undesirably deactivated by shear stress 17, 18, 19 or surfactants, resulting in inefficient conversion 20, 21, 22. However, slow mass transfer due to the limited interfacial area between two immiscible liquid phases significantly limits efficient conversion 8, 9, 10. To enable catalytic conversion of such a hydrophobic substrate, a biphasic system consisting of water and organic solvent is required 5, 6, 7. When a substrate is hydrophobic and thus insoluble in water, its conversion via enzymatic reaction is significantly reduced because the enzyme is typically water soluble and the substrate is present at a very low concentration in the aqueous phase. Despite these advantages, application of enzymatic reactions are typically limited to the conversion of water-soluble chemicals 3, 4. This work also demonstrates that bijels can potentially be used as reaction media to enable continuous reactive separations.Įnzymes are highly efficient natural catalysts that accelerate various reactions with high activity and (stereo-)specificity under mild reaction conditions, making them attractive catalysts for the industry-scale conversion of chemicals 1, 2. Our results demonstrate that bijels are powerful biphasic reaction media to accelerate enzymatic reactions with various hydrophobic reagents. The bijel system gives a four-fold increase in the initial reaction rate in comparison to a stirred biphasic medium. Using lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis of tributyrin as a model reaction in a batch mode, we show that bijels can be used as media to enable enzymatic reaction. In this study, to expedite the enzymatic conversion of a hydrophobic substrate, we use a bicontinuous interfacially jammed emulsion gel (bijel) which provides large interfacial area between two immiscible liquids: oil and water. Although enzymes are efficient catalysts capable of converting various substrates into desired products with high specificity under mild conditions, their effectiveness as catalysts is substantially reduced when substrates are poorly water-soluble.

Cordless electric brooms cost way less than cordless stick vacuums because they have significantly less suction power, weaker battery life, and typically have small dirt receptacles. However, if you want to get the most out of your electric sweeper, you’ll need to understand the limitations. Based on our research, pet owners will also find that electric brooms can deal with the stray tufts of pet hair. They’re ideal for spot-cleaning problem areas in your home to remove dirt and debris in tough to reach areas. In the cleaning world, electric sweepers combine the simplicity of a dustpan and broom with the convenience of a cordless vacuum. For all vacuum types, see our full vacuum ratings and recommendations.Written by Jonathan Chan, senior manager of lab operations with a decade of experience testing products. Here are the best performers of each type of stick vacuum-corded and cordless-listed in alphabetical order. If the vacuum has a medium setting (not every vacuum does), we test that too. To test battery life, we run the cordless vacs on high and then again on low until the battery is depleted, then we note the times. We embed 100 grams of sand into a carpet and vacuum the debris on high speed for 16 strokes using a strobe light to highlight the test area. We note the number of strokes and see how much fur, if any, is left behind on the carpet or in the brush roll. We embed 1 gram of Maine coon cat hair in a medium-pile carpet and then see how many strokes it takes to remove it, with a maximum of five. We weigh the vacuum before and after to calculate how much debris was removed. We use four swipes to remove the cereal and rice and two to pick up the sand. In separate tests, we scatter cereal, rice, and sand on a section of laminate flooring. Here is how we conduct our revamped stick vacuum tests of brands including Bissell, Dyson, Hoover, Kenmore, Samsung, Shark, and Tineco. (You can also buy an extra battery for some models.) Some brands include an extra battery with their cordless stick vacuums so that you can have one charging while you’re cleaning with the other. In Consumer Reports’ tests, some stick vacs lose power in as little as 7 minutes when running on high and others run for an hour or longer on low. Run times for cordless vacuums can vary widely. Corded stick vacuums do not have this issue, which is why we give separate reliability ratings for cordless and corded stick vacuum brands.īecause of their low ratings for brand reliability, no cordless model earns a recommendation from CR despite scoring well in our performance tests. In our exclusive CR surveys, more than 40 percent of battery-powered stick vacs owned by our members developed problems with the battery within the first five years of ownership. According to the research firm Gap Intelligence, only about 1 in 4 stick vacuums on the market is a corded model and the rest-more than 100 models and counting-run on batteries.īut cordless stick vacs aren’t problem-free. Among stick vacuums, cordless models dominate the market. By 1814, the young composer had written a number of piano pieces, and had produced string quartets, a symphony, and a three-act opera. In fact, between 18, Schubert proved to be a prolific songwriter. Schubert worked as a schoolmaster for the next four years. In 1814, under pressure from his family, Schubert enrolled at a teacher's training college in Vienna and took a job as an assistant at his father's school. In 1812, however, Schubert's voice broke, forcing him to leave the college, though he did continue his instruction with Antonio Salieri for three more years. He also attended choir practice and, with his fellow pupils, practiced chamber music and piano playing. Schubert played the violin in the students' orchestra, was quickly promoted to leader, and conducted in Ruzicka's absence. His educators at the Stadtkonvikt included Wenzel Ruzicka, the imperial court organist, and, later, the esteemed composer Antonio Salieri, who lauded Schubert as a musical genius. His father and older brother, Ignaz, both instructed Schubert early in his musical life.Įventually, Schubert enrolled at the Stadtkonvikt, which trained young vocalists so they could one day sing at the chapel of the Imperial Court, and in 1808 he earned a scholarship that awarded him a spot in the court's chapel choir. His family cultivated Schubert's love of music. He was also an excellent singer.įranz was the fourth surviving son of Franz Theodor Schubert, a schoolmaster, and his wife, Elisabeth, a homemaker. As a child, his talents included an ability to play the piano, violin and organ. Early Lifeīorn on January 31, 1797, in Himmelpfortgrund, Austria, Franz Peter Schubert demonstrated an early gift for music.

I can safely say that the EVGA Queue system is the best, especially if you get in the queue system early. Anyone who would come up with an inventive method that could slay massive amounts of killer slugs in one go would become a hero, not only in Sweden but in the whole of Scandinavia. This is for example the case here in Sweden with the “killer slug”, an invasive slug from Spain (Arion vulgaris) that is so disgusting that normal slug predators do not want to eat it. No wonder then that he became a hero if he could slay the Stymphalian birds – or cormorants.Īnimals that might at first seem harmless can be fearful in large quantities and get a scary reputation. Cormorants can also breed inland and this is what might have happened at the time of Hercules. When cormorants invade islets in the Baltic Sea, for example, the ammonia in the droppings kills off the vegetation and the islets become greyish-white and dead looking. Not only do they have yellowish beaks (bronze beaks), their droppings also contain ammonia. There is in fact a bird that fits quite well with the description of the Stymphalian birds and that is cormorants. Hercules used a rattle to frighten the Stymphalian birds and make them fly up in the air so that he could slay them by shooting poisonous arrows at the birds. One of them was to slay the Stymphalian birds, fearsome birds with bronze beaks that had invaded a marsh, or lake, in Arcadia and destroyed the landscape or fruits in the surroundings. All these relatives even got a name – the Heracleidae.īut what about the real man, the Hercules who lived so long ago and gave rise to all these stories and relatives? What can we deduce from the glorious myths when removing the glamour? Who was this Stone Age man and what did he actually do? Here are the twelve non-fancy labors of the primitive Hercules, which still echo through ancient myths and legends.Īccording to legend, Hercules got his twelve labors, or job assignments, from his supposedly evil uncle Eurystheus. And so it continued century after century and as DNA testing did not exist until recently, anyone wanting an impressive background could claim to be related to Hercules. The result was a lot of children and grandchildren who naturally had an interest in preserving and improving stories about their forefather. So why do they? Why do we still watch movies about this almost-Stone-Age-hero who is stealing horses, chasing wild boars and damming up rivers (see more below)?Īpart from his primitive labors – killing birds and steeling horses and the like – Hercules also traveled around and met, as well as raped, a lot of women (and probably also men and boys). And when you remove all the grandiose aspects of Hercules’ labors, you end up with stories about a ruthless, adventurous, hideous but also remarkable man who lived so far back, in such a primitive time of history, it is a wonder that any traces of his deeds remain. Steal the Golden Apples of the Hesperidesīut do the stories actually tell about a real man? The Greek historian Diodorus Siculus, a rather factual man writing between 60 and 30 BCE about the history of the then known world, stated that monsters and bulls that are tamed by Hercules (and other heroes) are actually stories about the “taming” of floods or waves.Capture the Ceryneian Hind (or reindeer).Clean the Augean Stables (or pastureland).Slay the Stymphalian Birds (or cormorants).The reason why Northern Europe is interesting here is that Hercules traveled far, far up north, so far north in fact that he reached the lands of the midnight sun. In Northern Europe, the Neolithic Stone Age ended 3,800 years ago, which means that Hercules lived just on the brink of the Bronze Age. Depending on which theory you believe in, the battle of Troy occurred sometime from 3,200 to 3,600 years ago. As the warriors in the battle of Troy use weapons of bronze and stone, and do not use any iron or steel, the war is supposed to have taken place in the Bronze Age. The stories that tell about Hercules are all set a couple of generations before the battle of Troy. And his adventures, when cleansed from the fanciful monster stuff, are in fact equally primitive. Those of you who are familiar with his labors, or have seen a movie about Hercules, might remember that he is often portrayed with a very primitive weapon – a club. However, beyond the monsters and godly adventures there are echoes of a real man who lived a very, very long time ago. There are a many stories about the hero Hercules and his twelve labors – and other (heinous) deeds – the one more fanciful than the other. The 12 labors of Hercules – echoes of a man who lived almost in the Stone Age |
