A simple method was invented to achieve a high yield of cellulosic biomass-derived alkyl levulinates, which have the potential to be alternative fuel additives. Alkyl levulinates, such as butyl-, pentyl-, and hexyl levulinates, were produced using single-step acid-catalyzed solvolysis of cellulosic biomass without the use of elevated pressure. Reactions were performed by refluxing alcohols such...

This experiment was conducted with the objective of evaluating the performance sage (Salvia officinalis L.) in different agroecology of Ethiopia for morpho-agronomic and chemical traits at Wondo genet, Hawassa, Qoqa and Holleta for two years from 2011/2012 to 2012/2013 cropping seasons. Data on plant height, branch number/plant, fresh leaf weight/plant, fresh stem weight/plant, above ground bio...

The mono-alkylation of DPP derivatives leads to cofacial π-π stacking via H-bonding unlike their di-alkylated counterparts, which exhibit a classical herringbone packing pattern. Single crystal organic field-effect transistor (OFET) measurements reveal a significant enhancement of charge carrier mobility for mono-hexyl DPP derivatives.

Self-healing of the superhydrophobic cotton fabric (SCF) obtained by the radiation-induced graft polymerization of lauryl methacrylate (LMA) and n-hexyl methacrylate (HMA), can be achieved by ironing. Through the steam ironing process, the superhydrophobicity of the SCFs will be regenerated even after the yarns are ruptured during the abrasion test under a load pressure of 44.8 kPa. SCFs made f...

results the dna-dna hybridization experiments between isolate tbz3, h. denitrificans and h. saccharevitans revealed relatedness levels of 57% and 65%, respectively. according to gc-ms results, tbz3 degrades paa to benzene, hexyl butanoate, 3-methyl-1-heptanol and hexyl hexanoate. temperature 32.92°c, ph 6.76, and salinity 14% are the optimum conditions for biodegradation with a confidence level...

Modified cold-induced aggregation microextraction (M-CIAME) is a fast and simple method for extraction and preconcentration of metal ions from samples with high salt content. Furthermore, this technique is much safer in comparison with the organic solvent extraction. The extraction of palladium (Pd) was performed in the presence of Michler thioketone (TMK) as the complexing agent. In this metho...

The volatile composition of different apple varieties of Malus domestica Borkh. species from different geographic regions at Madeira Islands, namely Ponta do Pargo (PP), Porto Santo (PS), and Santo da Serra (SS) was established by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) procedure followed by GC-MS (GC-qMS) analysis. Significant parameters affecting sorption process such as fiber coating...

We present the first application of time-dependent density functional tight-binding method to rationalize photo-induced electron transfer in an experimental hexyl-protected Au25 cluster labeled with a pyrene fluorophore.

FSM Models As formulated in prior work, Figure 2 shows the FSM model for each of the 512 branch history table entries.15-17 A cold start initializes all entries in the branch history table to the start state, strong not taken. Any conditional branch whose address directly maps to the same branch history table entry will cause transitions in that entry’s FSM when the branch is resolved in the ex...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(19)H(21)NOS, contains two mol-ecules, which form dimers via pairs of weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
