UNLABELLED Dietary ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) decrease cardiovascular risk via suppression of inflammation. The generation of electrophilic α,β-unsaturated ketone derivatives of the ω-3 PUFAs docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) in activated human macrophages is catalyzed by cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2). These derivatives are potent pleiotropic anti-inflammatory s...

Canola (Brassica napus) is one of several important oil-producing crops, and the physiological processes, enzymes, and genes involved in oil synthesis in canola seeds have been well characterized. However, relatively little is known about the dynamic metabolic changes that occur during oil accumulation in seeds, as well as the mechanistic origins of metabolic changes. To explore the metabolic c...

Eugenol is the major component of clove essential oil and has demonstrated relevant biological potential with well-known antimicrobial and antioxidant action. Therefore, this work carried out the synthesis, purification, characterization, and evaluation of the antioxidant and antibacterial potential of 19 eugenol derivatives. The derivatives were produced by esterification reactions in the hydr...

This article extends recent research about the material impact of energy-consuming media technologies by describing role oil and its derivatives in production consumption television United States after Second World War. It starts exploring reasons why dimensions have received limited scholarly attention history. Then it examines how component parts a TV receiver—the cathode ray tube, chassis in...

Phenolic derivatives are used as raw materials in textiles, pulp and paper, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, oil-refineries and leather industries. These heterocyclic aromatic chemicals are among the most frequently found pollutants in industrial effluents. Since these compounds are toxic either through ingestion, inhalation or contact even at low concentrations, biodegradation of the effluent is...

The demand for energy resources by various systems such as production and transportation, as well as for physical comfort continues to grow apace, intensifying global dependence on fossil fuels and their derivatives. For this reason, numerous private and public programs in several countries have established feasible alternatives for the substitution of petroleum derivatives (Sahin, 2011; Saint ́...

This paper investigated the hedging effectiveness of crude palm oil futures market in Malaysia from January 2009 to June 2011 which traded under Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Berhad. Ordinary Least Squared (OLS) method was used to compute Minimum-Variance hedging ratio (MVHR), R-squared and hedging effectiveness by using daily data from settlement price of crude palm oil futures contracts and spot...
