Thermal energy storage using porous materials has become a key technology for improving efficiency and sustainability of heat applications to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions. Choosing adsorbent–fluid working pairs that improve performance an process is challenge due large number possible combinations. The use activated carbons adsorption, purification, as alternative other such zeolites or ...

This study focuses on the detectable metabolome of high-quality raw hazelnuts (Corylus avellana L.) and its changes after dry-roasting. Informative fingerprinting was obtained by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with fast-scanning quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC×GC-qMS) combined dedicated data processing. In particular, untargeted targeted (UT) fingerprinting, based pattern rec...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence different amounts (40, 80 and 100 g) non-fermented fermented (with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum No. 122 Lacticaseibacillus casei 210) cricket flour (Cr) on quality characteristics acrylamide formation in wheat biscuits (WB). main formula for WB preparation consisted 280 g flour, margarine, 50 saccharose, 3 vanilla sugar, eggs, 1.5 salt 2.0 ba...

Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) caused by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) has been investigated in an oilfield injection water system. Strain CW-01 was isolated from an oilfield and strain CW-04 was isolated from biofilm dirt of pipeline walls. The strains were facultative anaerobes, non-motile, Gram-positive, pole flagellum, and spore-forming curved rods. The growth was observed o...

ABSTRACT Cyanide (KCN) and paraquat (PQ) are very toxic to mitochondria. In this study the toxicity of KCN and PQ in the isolated rat liver mitochondria was determined using the MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] assay and JG-B (Janus green B) assay by multiwell scanning spectrophotometry. JG-B was used not only for the vital staining of mitochondria, but also fo...

The goal of this work is the evaluation of the analytical characteristics of the determinations performed using glucose oxidase and acetylcholinesterase based electrochemical sensors, developed applying original or optimized conventional methods of enzyme immobilization. It was found that the sensitivity of glucose determination, for example, varies from 0.048 to 3.36 mA L mol -1 cm -2 and the ...

PURPOSE: To compare the two lines suture (total and seromuscular) after partial gastrectomy in normal and overweight rats. METHODS: Forty Wistar rats were distributed in two groups. Group A received normal diet; group B, normal diet and supplementation with saccharose in the water. When group B progressed to a statistically greater weight than the animals of group A, the experiment (sleeve-li...

A great deal of research has been performed on the acetone and butyl alcohol fermentation of maize, potatoes, horse-chestnuts, and other cereals rich in starch, in which various organisms of t’he widely distributed Granulobacter type have been employed. No systematic investigation has been made, however, of the action of this type of organism on other carbohydrates; namely, the various sugars. ...
