In a hydrothermal route devoted for synthesis of Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 (HA) nanostructures, morphology can be controlled by experimental condition to form magical HA or nanostructured nanoparticles. In an intermediate condition, a novel nanostructure namely rose-like bundle of HA rod-likes was found, which is different from known HA nanostructures. The...

This study was driven by the stringent environmental legislation concerning consumption and utilization of eco-friendly materials. Within this context, paper aimed to examine characteristics starch fibres from Dioscorea hispida tuber plant explore their potential as renewable The extraction carried out chemical composition, physical, thermal, morphological properties, crystallinity were studied...

We review our current knowledge of the solar chemical composition as determined from photospheric absorption lines. In particular we describe the recent significant revisions of the solar abundances as a result of the application of a time-dependent, 3D hydrodynamical model of the solar atmosphere instead of 1D hydrostatic models. This has decreased the metal content in the solar convection zon...

in this study, the effect of different sterilization treatments (115, 120 and 130 ° c, with same sterilization value) was evaluated on the chemical composition and lipid quality of canned silver carp. after sterilization, moisture and fat content were decreased and the amounts of protein and ash were increased, although significant differences due to the different thermal treatments were not ob...

Almond is characterized by its high nutritional value; although information reported so far mainly concerns edible kernel. Even though the nutritional and commercial relevance of the almond is restricted to almond meat; to date; increasing attention has been paid to other parts of this fruit (skin; shell; and hull); considered by-products that are scarcely characterized and exploited regarding ...

Curry leaves are a popular leaf-spice used in very small quantities for their distinct aroma due to the presence of volatile oil and their ability to improve digestion. The present study was carried out to analyze the chemical composition of dehydrated curry leaves and to prepare different products by the incorporation of these leaves. Organoleptic and nutritive values of the prepared products ...

landslides are natural disasters that annually inflict great damages to public and private properties which may associate with loss of life. in recent decades, research on developing methods for predicting the time of landslide has been one of the significant attempts made by scientists. since in some type of material, landslides are preceded by undetectable movements that cannot be recorded an...

the present study describes the radiation-induced effects on nutritional quality and on anti-nutritional factors of sorghum grain: effects of electron beam (er) and gamma irradiation (gr) at doses of 10, 20 and 30 kgy and infrared irradiation (ir) at 60, 90 and 120 s on the chemical composition, mineral content and bioavailability, in vitro protein and starch digestibility, total phenolic compo...

the objectives of this study were to determine and compare the chemical composition and ruminal degradability of dry matter (dm), crude protein (cp), neutral detergent fiber (ndf) and acid detergent fiber (adf) of ten pasture forage species dominant in the west provinces of iran. duplicate nylon bags of pasture samples were suspended in the rumen of four wethers for up to 96 h. the chemical com...
