Hydrogen sulfide is one of the main waste products petrochemical industry; it produced by catalytic hydrodesulfurization processes (HDS) hydrocarbon feedstocks, and a byproduct from sweetening sour natural gas upgrading heavy oils, bitumen, coals [...]

In the face of increasingly serious environmental pollution, health human lung tissues is also facing threats. Mogroside ⅡE (M2E) main metabolite sweetening agents mogrosides from anti-tussive Chinese herbal Siraitia Grosvenori. The study elucidated anti-inflammatory action and molecular mechanism M2E against acute injury (ALI). A lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI model was establishe...

Spontaneous fermentation of table olives, as per a traditional Mediterranean process, is still performed empirically; hence, final product quality somewhat unpredictable. Our main goal was to validate an endogenous (potentially probiotic) lactic acid bacterium strain in Cobrançosa olives vector for more standardized further adding commercial value the themselves. The Portuguese process typicall...

Rhythmic Rendering is a compositional approach to organizing sound through the integration of rhythmic matrices and selected audio signal processing routines. In this scheme, signal processing becomes integral to the structure of a musical composition, rather than "sweetening" added globally at the terminal point of an audio chain, as in commercial synthesizers.

• phenomena-based process intensification approach to generate sustainable separation of sour gases from offshore natural gas is proposed. All possible alternatives using a bottom-up are explored systematically. Six intensified identified as novel and innovative candidates worthy potential industrial application. Offshore represents significant portion global reserves. Processing essential for ...

AIMS Stevioside is a natural plant glycoside isolated from the plant Stevia rebaudiana which has been commercialized as a sweetener in Japan for more than 20 years. Previous animal studies have shown that stevioside has an antihypertensive effect. This study was to designed to evaluate the effect of stevioside in human hypertension. METHODS A multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-con...
