A Novel Acoustomicrofluidic Nebulization Technique Yielding New Crystallization Morphologies

Microbatch crystallization under oil — a new technique allowing many small - volume crystallization trials

An approach to rapid protein crystallization using very small samples is described. A computer controlled microdispenser is used to make crystallization samples as microbatch droplets under oil. Samples of 1—2 ~l are dispensed ready-mixed and with good precision. The samples are protected from evaporation, contamination and physical shock by the oil. When favourable conditions for crystallizati...

Directional Breeding of High Itaconic Acid Yielding Strain of Aspergillus terreus with a New Plate Technique

Itaconic acid is commercially produced by the cultivation of Aspergillus terreus using starch hydrolysate as carbon source. The degree of hydrolysis had a great influence on itaconic acid production which was suitable when corn starch was saccharified at 35 DE. The α-amylase was sufficient to drive the starch hydrolysis to the degree. The agar plate assay with LiCl treatment provided a rapid, s...

A New Approach to Higher Yielding Silicon

Titanium Snoreplasty- A New Surgical Technique

Introduction: Based on the previous data, among the general population aged between 30 and 60 years, snoring is observed in 44% and 28% of males and females, respectively. Therefore, it is important to treat snoring to reduce the disruption of the bed partner's sleep and the patients’ own problems. This study aimed to present a minimally invasive procedure which is easy to perform with le...
