In the present innovative pursuit, the generalized Nörlund summability method, that is, the (N, c, d) summation process of Fourier series of f (x) as well defined by Borwein [4] has been invoked to approximate the function f (x) belonging to Lip M α (0 < α < 1 ) and M being some constant. Here it is worth-emphasising that not only mere approximation, but also the constants appeared in the proce...

In this paper, some new properties of the fundamental solution to the multi-dimensional 1 spaceand time-fractional diffusion-wave equation are deduced. We start with the Mellin-Barnes 2 representation of the fundamental solution that was derived in the previous publications of the 3 author. The Mellin-Barnes integral is used to get two new representations of the fundamental solution 4 in form o...

In this study we have investigated the effect of starting GaAs semi-insulating substrate surface (polished / unpolished), type of mask used (photoresist / Nickel) and RIE parameters (pressure and power) on the surface smoothness/morphology of the etched via-walls and resultant etch profiles with CCl2F2 / CCl4 gas chemistry. The ultimate aim of the study has been to develop a reliable via-hole g...

using a wide range of techniques, including differential scanning calorimetry, x-ray diffraction, rapid visco analyser and fourier transform infera red spectroscopy, some physicochemical properties of the starch fraction of six iranian rice cultivars (tarom, tarome hashemi, neda, ramezani, fajr and kamfirouzi) [1]were studied and compared. dsc data showed that starch granules of different rice ...

A study on the preparation of rice bran-based activated carbon was conducted, with and without an acid treatment step prior the activation process. The influence of the activation time on the structure of the activated carbons was evaluated. The acid treatment had a significant positive influence on sorption properties. The rice bran-activated carbon presented a BET surface area of 652m(2)g(-1)...

We aimed to evaluate the radioprotective effect of hydrolyzed rice bran (HRB) on acute gastroenteritis due to chemoradiotherapy for treatment of cervical cancer. This placebo-controlled, double-blind study was conducted as an exploratory investigation of the colitis-inhibiting effects of HRB in alleviating acute-phase gastrointestinal side effects of chemoradiotherapy. The study involved 20 pat...

The purpose of this study was to produce microbial oil from Yarrowia lipolytica Po1g grown in defatted rice bran hydrolysate. After removing oil from rice bran by Soxhlet extraction, the bran is subjected to acid hydrolysis with various sulfuric acid concentrations (1-4% v/v), reaction times (1-8 h), and reaction temperatures (60-120°C). The optimal conditions for maximum total sugar production...

This investigation was performed to evaluate the biological efficiency (BE), mean mushroom weight (MMW), mean number of mushroom (MNM) and mushroom quality of Shiitake [Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Pegler] when grown on a sterilized substrate composed by sugarcane bagasse enriched with rice bran and sugarcane molasses. The proportions of rice bran were 0, 15, 20, 25 and 30% (dry weight/dry weight o...

The mechanism underlying pain symptoms in fibromyalgia (FM) is not fully understood. Oxidative stress has emerged as pathophysiological event occurring during the development of the disease. The present study aimed at investigating the efficacy of resveratrol associated with rice bran oil on fibromyalgia-like mice model. Subcutaneous injection of reserpine (0.25 mg/Kg) during 3 days produced fi...

Four new metabolites related to IAA (indole-3-acetic acid) were isolated from an aqueous methanol extract of rice bran and were elucidated by spectroscopic methods to be a pair of diastereomers of 5-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl 3,5-dihydroxy-2-indolinone-3-acetic acid (A-1 and A-2) and of 5-O-β-D-cellobiosyl 3,5-dihydroxy-2-indolinone-3-acetic acid (B-1 and B-2). Compound B-1 was also a diastereomer of...
