A new species was synthesized artificially by chromosome doubling of an interspecific hybrid between cassava and Manihot anomala. The ensuing polyploid type exhibits an apomictic nature and maintains its morphological characteristics in the progeny. It showed a 29% frequency of multiembryonic sacs in its examined ovules whereas the multiembryonic sacs were absent in the diploid type.

The metabolism, excretion, and pharmacokinetics of S-allyl-L-cysteine (SAC), an active key component of garlic supplements, were examined in rats and dogs. A single dose of SAC was administered orally or i.v. to rats (5 mg/kg) and dogs (2 mg/kg). SAC was well absorbed (bioavailability >90%) and its four metabolites—N-acetylS-allyl-L-cysteine (NAc-SAC), N-acetyl-S-allyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide (NAc...

Zeolite-supported single-atom catalysts (SACs) have emerged as a novel class of cheap and tuneable that can exhibit high activity, selectivity stability. In this work, we conduct an extensive screening by means density functional theory calculations to determine the usefulness 3d, 4d 5d transition metal (TM) SACs-supported in MFI-type Silicalite-1 zeolite for CO2 conversion. Two reaction mechan...

Abstract Single‐atom catalysts (SACs) often show exceptionally high performance per metal loading. Besides benefiting from a better atom utilisation, the metal‐support interaction is more pronounced in SACs compared to traditional nanoparticle catalysts. Thus, using photochemical conversions of great advantage where rapid reactions depend on synergistic active site with photoactive support. Her...

background: inverse relationship between helminths infection and immune-mediated diseases has inspired researchers to investigate therapeutic potential of helminths in allergic asthma. helminth unique ability to induce immunoregulatory responses has already been documented in several experimental studies. this study was designed to investigate whether excretory/secretory (es) and somatic produc...

This paper reports on the insights gained during 5th Japan Association for Self-Access Learning (JASAL) conference students and similarities shared by self-access centers (SACs) worldwide. A group of from 13 universities their experiences, ideas, current issues faced SACs with aim of, collaboratively, finding a solution to make them available more language learners. The outcome this exchange gi...
