Abstract This study investigated the combustion kinetics and spontaneous ignition of sweet sorghum using thermogravimetric analysis Frank-Kamenetskii theory. The aim was to determine proper operating conditions for a direct reactor predict safe ambient temperature limits given silo designs. Oxidative heating rates 2, 5, 10 °C/min were set up. Graphical observation shows that composed two differ...

Smoke from burning different kinds of vegetation or wood is often used as a cheap personal protection measure against mosquitos during the evening. To test the efficacy of smoke, a comparative field trial was conducted in the Wosera District, Papua New Guinea. Repellency of smoke from burning wild mango wood (Mangifera spp), leaves from betelnut (Areca catechu), wild ginger (Alpinia spp) and co...

The transmembrane helix of glycophorin A contains a seven-residue motif, LIxxGVxxGVxxT, that mediates protein dimerization. Threonine is the only polar amino acid in this motif with the potential to stabilize the dimer through hydrogen-bonding interactions. Polarized Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is used to establish a robust protocol for incorporating glycophorin A transmembrane pept...
