phospholipase a1 is known as an effective catalyst for hydrolysis of various phospholipids in enzymatic vegetable oil degumming. immobilization is one of the most efficient strategies to improve its activity, recovery and functional properties. in this study, chitosan-co-polyethylene oxide (90:10) nanofibrous mat was successfully fabricated and modified with atmospheric plasma at different time...

zipper braced frames are an innovative bracing system for steel structures. conventional inverted-v-braced frames exhibit a design problem arising from the unbalanced vertical force generated by the lower story braces when one of them buckles. this adverse effect can be mitigated by adding zipper columns or vertical members connecting the intersection points of the braces above the first floor....

conclusion mature biofilms were found to be much more resistant to antifungal agents and the host immune system than free cells. the factors responsible for high resistance included the complex architecture of biofilms, ecm, increased expression of drug efflux pumps, and metabolic plasticity. objectives the present work investigated certain aspects of the resistance of c. albicans biofilms to d...

Most Africans enter old age after a lifetime of poverty and deprivation, poor access to health care and a diet that is usually inadequate in quantity and quality. However, nutrition interventions in African countries are directed primarily toward infants and young children, as well as pregnant and lactating women. This situational analysis focuses on two key areas to identify priorities for fut...

the paper introducedeffects of modified pyrolysis tar on flue gas desulfurization. this experiment selected the pyrolysis tar as the raw material, researched the effects on desulfurization performance under different modification solution, concentration, solid liquid ratio of pyrolysis tar and modified solution, calcination temperature and calcination time by 16 group orthogonal experiments. th...

Materials chemistry has been fundamental to the enormous field that encompasses the delivery of molecules both to desired sites and/or at desired rates and durations. The field encompasses the delivery of molecules including fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, food ingredients, fragrances and biopharmaceuticals. A personal perspective is provided on our early work in this field that has enable...

OBJECTIVE The carborane-containing porphyrin, copper (II) 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octabromo-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3-[1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaboranyl]methoxyphenyl)-porphyrin (CuTCPBr), was investigated as a potential radiation enhancing agent for X-ray radiotherapy (XRT) in a subcutaneously implanted EMT-6 murine carcinoma. METHOD The biodistribution and toxicological profile of this porphyrin has ...
