An innovative approach for fatty acid reduction to fatty aldehydes

Gammalinolenic Acid, an Unsaturated Fatty

Is Trans Fatty Acid Still an Issue for Policy Makers in Iran? A Technical Report

In recent decades, the oil industry has changed its direction toward vegetable oil use instead of animal fats due to various reasons such as a small numbers of animal fat resources and high saturated fatty acids content in animal fats. Therefore, different modification processes have been used to alter the physicochemical properties of vegetable oils, which lack functionality and oxidative stab...

Enhanced Procedure for Fabrication of an Ultrahydrophobic Aluminum Alloy Surface using Fatty Acid Modifiers

A superhydrophobic aluminum surface was fabricated through an enhanced low-cost approach and the effects of several relevant factors on static contact angle and sliding angle were investigated. First, the operating parameters including the etching time as well as the reaction time and temperature were varied. Next, the so-called chemical factors including three different fatty acids and five di...

Evidence for a Fatty Acid Reductase Catalyzing the Synthesis of Aldehydes for the Bacterial Bioluminescent Reaction

The enzyme responsible for the stimulation by ATP and NADPH of light emission catalyzed by bacterial luciferase has been partially purified from extracts of the luminescent bacterium, Photobacterium phosphoreum The stimulatory activity was found to be stabilized by high concentrations of mercaptoethanol, permitting it to be separated from luciferase into an active and stable form and enabling f...

English for Specific Purposes: Proposing an Innovative Approach to Teaching English to Medical Students

Background: English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses should empower students to satisfy their language needs. However, at many Iranian universities, these courses are mostly taught based on the Grammar Translation Method focusing on teaching grammatical rules and reading comprehension. The present study aims at proposing an innovative approach for teaching English to Medical students that ca...
