Abstract Surfactants are among the materials used to improve water properties for injection into oil reservoirs, and reduce phase crude interfacial tension (IFT). Recently, interest in use of natural surfactants has increased is constantly on rise solve some challenges using chemical such as incompatibility with environment high cost. In this study, we have aqueous extract powdered leaf Myrtus ...

Abstract The establishment of sustainable bioeconomies requires the utilization new renewable biomaterials. One such material currently seen as a waste product is oat hulls. Oat hulls exhibit great potential for production dietary fibres due to their exceptionally large hemicellulose content (35%). Their recalcitrant structure however suitable pre-treatment method access and process hemicellulo...

BACKGROUND Titanium surfaces play an important role in affecting osseointegration of dental implants. Previous studies have shown that the titania nanotube promotes osseointegration by enhancing osteogenic differentiation. Only relatively recently have the effects of titanium surfaces with other nanostructures on osteogenic differentiation been investigated. METHODS In this study, we used NaO...

In the light of recent reports, based on radioactive labelling studies, that substantial amounts of N-linked oligosaccharides are released from protein under the mild-alkaline borohydride degradation conditions that are usually used to release O-linked oligosaccharides, we have investigated by chemical methods the effects of alkali alone and alkaline borohydride on the carbohydrate and peptide ...

We produced alkali burns (1.5 N NaOH) in the right eyes of 63 mice. Three weeks later the left eye of each mouse was similarly burned. All eyes were followed up weekly for 4 weeks after the burn and were graded according to the severity of the lesion. The lesions developed much faster and were more severe in the left eyes. These results suggest that the body's immune mechanism participates in t...
