Biomimetic synthesis of 1-aryl-2,5-dimethyl pyrroles using egg white nano-ovalbumin at room temperature under solvent-free conditions

Ovalbumin, as the major component of egg-white, is a globular, biocompatible, nontoxic and biodegradable phosphoglyco protein. This protein with the molecular weight of 44.5 kDa, contains 385 residues of amino acids with isoelectric point (pI) of 4.5. Many purification procedures have been reported for egg-white proteins such as gel permeation and anion exchange chromatography. In this study, w...

Blood sample stability at room temperature for counting red and white blood cells and platelets.

Blood handling required for different cellular variables is different. In a practical setting of blood sampling approximately 4 h separated from the first analysis, we compared the analysis of blood cell variables at this 4-h point with analysis of blood stored for approximately 48 h (over the weekend) at room temperature. Blood was collected from 304 apparently healthy individuals aged between...

Evaluation of a perceptually optimized room-in-room reproduction method for playback room compensation

In sound reproduction it is usually desired to reproduce a sound source as accurate as possible to achieve a natural and realistic sound representation of the sound source. A perceptually motivated sound reproduction approach was suggested by [Grosse, van de Par, IEEE, 2015] where only the perceptually most relevant cues of a sound eld in the recording room are considered. These perceptually re...

Room Effects

We present clean evidence of a direct social context effect on behavior in a laboratory experiment: the gender composition of the room significantly alters the risk decisions of subjects even when the actions or presence of others are neither payoff nor information relevant. Our design is such that subjects do not know the decisions of others, nor can they be inferred. We find that women become...
