Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has been extensively used in biopesticidal formulations due to its safe environmental and human health records. The widespread use of Bt is often challenged by production as well as formulation costs which are in direct contact with downstream processing, i.e. the separation/purification step. Downstream separation/purification efficacy governs the marketabi...

dehulling is an important step in walnut processing that has considerable effect on the quality, chemical and microbial properties of walnuts. improving dehulling can increase the quality of the final product. this research studied the effect of genotype and hulling method on walnut properties. one experiment was performed as a factorial in a randomized complete block design with three replicat...

All information processing systems found in living organisms are based on chemical processes. Harnessing the power of chemistry for computing might lead to a new unifying paradigm coping with the rapidly increasing complexity and autonomy of computational systems. Chemical computing refers to computing with real molecules as well as to programming electronic devices using principles taken from ...

In this study, molybdenum-copper/alumina nano composite was synthesized with mechano-chemical method using high energy planetary ball milling. The molybdenum oxide, copper oxide and aluminum powder were used as starting materials and reaction appeared to occur through a rapid combustion reaction process. The evaluation of powder particles after different milling times was studied by X-ray diffr...

In this study based on image analysis, an ore grade estimation model was developed. The study was performed at a limestone mine in central Iran. The samples were collected from different parts of the mine and crushed in size from 2.58 cm down to 15 cm. The images of the samples were taken in appropriate environment and processed. A total of 76 features were extracted from the identified rock sa...

While clinical transcriptomics methods vary widely, a common characteristic is the need for chemical processing of extremely heterogeneous fluids (e.g., whole blood) prior to analysis. Here, we introduce the first world-to-digital microfluidic (DMF)-based method for chemical processing of RNA in blood. This sample-to-answer system has great potential for rapid characterization of novel and emer...

Hydroxyapatite nanoscale particles (nHA) were prepared by wet chemical precipitation using four different synthesis methods. Differences in physico-chemical properties including morphology, particle-size, and crystallinity were investigated following alteration of critical processing parameters. The nanoparticles were also studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform infrared spectr...

effect of heat processing on the nutritive value of broiler litter, as a potential ruminant feedstuff,was studied in two pilot plans, processing through an assessment of chemical composition, proteinfractionation according to cncps as wells digestibility making use of tilley and terry method. in amanufactory located in the city of sabzevar. the average values of dry matter (dm), crude protein(c...

BACKGROUND In this study, we investigated how to convert the Panax ginseng DNA sequence code and chemical fingerprints into a two-dimensional code. In order to improve the compression efficiency, GATC2Bytes and digital merger compression algorithms are proposed. METHODS HPLC chemical fingerprint data of 10 groups of P. ginseng from Northeast China and the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) ...
