Abstract In developing nations, research output is limited due to factors like unreliable power supply and inadequate laboratory equipment. The high cost of purchasing completed equipment the unavailability accessories for imported further contribute this issue. A biomass densification machine was designed constructed address these challenges teaching purposes. tested at five different compacti...

BACKGROUND The peripheral circadian clock in mice is entrained not only by light-dark cycles but also by daily restricted feeding schedules. Behavioral and cell culture experiments suggest an increase in glucose level as a factor in such feeding-induced entrainment. For application of feeding-induced entrainment in humans, nutrient content and dietary variations should be considered. PRINCIPA...

The constitutive active/androstane receptor (CAR) is a nuclear that functions as xenobiotic sensor, which regulates the expression of enzymes involved in drug metabolism and efflux transporters. Evaluation binding properties between CAR was assumed to facilitate prediction drug–drug interaction, thereby contributing discovery. purpose this study construct system for rapid evaluation interaction...

starch is a versatile and useful polymer having physicochemical properties that can be altered by chemicals or enzymatic modification and/or physical treatment. native starches possess many disadvantages that decrease their application and industrial use, but could be modified to obtain the desired properties to meet industrial needs for a wide range of starch applications. physically modified ...

Visual and gustatory responses of Spodoptera frugiperda Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae to artificial food dyes were studied. The objective was to determine the ability of these substances to attract and elicit feeding of insect larvae to assess their feasibility for improving the efficacy of ingested insecticides. The artificial food dyes lemon green, lemon yellow, orange red, chlorophy...
