Local guilds define groups of species that share common resources and coexist in space and time. Local guilds have historically been a major focus of community ecology; however, studies of local guilds rarely measure consequences of coexistence for fitness-related traits or test predictions of alternative hypotheses for how species may interact. We studied consequences of coexistence for Orange...

Phototoxic fluorescent proteins represent a sparse group of genetically encoded photosensitizers that could be used for precise light-induced inactivation of target proteins, DNA damage, and cell killing. Only two such GFP-based fluorescent proteins (FPs), KillerRed and its monomeric variant SuperNova, were described up to date. Here, we present a crystallographic study of their two orange succ...

The suitability of Beidler's mixture equation for mixtures of sucrose and maltitol as well as for mixtures of sucrose and aspartame was examined in the presence of an orange aroma. The mean scores for the attribute sweet remained constant for each combination of sucrose and maltitol and for each combination of sucrose and aspartame. Therefore, Beidler's mixture equation can be used to choose co...

Introduction: Death from cardiovascular diseases is one of the leading causes of death in the elderly; Although the role of exercise and herbs in heart health has been reported, their cellular-molecular mechanisms are not yet well understood. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of continuous exercise with moderate intensity and intense periodicit...

In this paper, we present Förster resonance energy transfer FRET -enhanced color-conversion using colloidal semiconductor quantum dot nanocrystals NCs to make reddish-orange light-emitting diodes for use in ultraefficient solid state lighting. To achieve FRET enhancement at 614 nm, we use an energy gradient hybrid structure made of cyanand orange-emitting CdSe/ZnS NCs PL=492 and 588 nm in solut...

Nezara viridula (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), the southern green stink bug, has body color polymorphisms. N. viridula f. smaragdula is the common green morph, whereas the rare morph N. viridula f. aurantiaca is uniformly orange. Crossing studies were conducted to determine the inheritance of the orange body color trait. Mendelian genetic analysis suggested that orange body color is a simple, ...

orange peel extract solution contains mucilage flavor and three types of glycosides. limonene is one of the terpenoides in some vegetables, fruits and food; that plays as an antioxidant in juice. as it has anti-microorganism effects on some bacteria, we carried out the antifungal effects of limonene versus orange extract. in the present study the effects of orange extract and two types of limon...

in recent years, the effects of heterogeneous catalysts for the oxidation of organic and inorganic pollutants in industrial wastewaters are spread. traditionally, these reactions are usually carried out using suspensions of photo-catalysts such as tio2. a chemical method including ticl4, al(no3)3, ethanol amine, ethyl acetoacetate and aqueous ammonia were used for the fabrication of tio2-al2o3 ...
