A method for the determination of serum protein-bound iodine (PBI) is presented. Chioric acid digestion is carried out in a single tube as described by other authors. In order to shorten the period when close supervision is necessary, the digestion process has been reduced to 1 hour and the estimation completed within 4 hours. The method has been modified to make it a more manageable routine pr...

Drosophila melanogaster larvae excrete amylase and perform external digestion of their food. In this study, to investigate whether their external digestion ability varies in response to changes in the external environment, we measured the relative amount of amylase excreted by larvae using a new method: the iodine starch agar method (ISAM). Analysis using this method revealed that the amount of...

Energy fuels retrieved from biomass utilization are considered to be an economically and environmentally friendly source. In this day age, bioenergy provides alternative option replace traditional fossil-based energy accomplish demand with fewer greenhouse gas emissions into the environment. A huge amount of food waste is produced every year due mass ethnographic activities. Their potential has...
