the co-inoculation of mulberry with phosphate solubilizing micro-organisms, nitrogen fixing bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhiza has influenced its macronutrient uptake through leaf. the data revealed that maximum nitrogen (484.12 kg /ha) , phosphorus (59.83 kg /ha) and potassium (244.61 kg/ha) uptake through leaf has taken place due to co-inoculation treatments as compared to the un inoculated t...

background: bio aerosols include airborne micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc and their products. exposure to a bio aerosol is linked with a broad spectrum of health problems, including infectious diseases, acute toxic effects, allergies, and cancer. the aim of this study was to evaluate the quality and quantity of bio aerosols found in the air of different wards in valiasr ho...

Title of Document: MICROCANTILEVER BIOSENSORS WITH CHITOSAN FOR THE DETECTION OF NUCLEIC ACIDS AND DOPAMINE Stephan Koev, Master of Science, 2007 Directed By: Professor Reza Ghodssi Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Abstract: Microcantilever biosensors allow label-free detection of analytes within small sample volumes. They are, however, often limited in sensitivity or specifici...

There is an interest in the development of an antioxidant packaging fully biodegradable to increase the shelf life of food products. An active film from cassava starch bio-based, incorporated with aqueous green tea extract and oil palm colorant was developed packaging. The effects of additives on the film properties were determined by measuring mechanical, barrier and thermal properties using a...

The substance secreted by mussels, also known as nature's glue, is a type of liquid protein that hardens rapidly into a solid water-resistant adhesive material. While in seawater or saline conditions, mussels can adhere to all types of surfaces, sustaining its bonds via mussel adhesive proteins (MAPs), a group of proteins containing 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) and catecholic amino acid. S...

In the present work, it is very surprising to find that the precursors mass, a long overlooked factor for synthesis of 2D g-C3N4, exerts unexpected impact on g-C3N4 fabrication. The nanoarchitecture and photocatalytic capability of g-C3N4 can be well-tailored only by altering the precursors mass. As thiourea mass decreases, thin g-C3N4 nanosheets with higher surface area, elevated conduction ba...

The metabolism of sulfur (S) compounds concurs to the maintain of cell homeostasis and tissue integrity in the human body. Sulfur chemical species act in all cells as anti-oxidant/scavenging agents or regulators of membrane stability/excitability. At the same time, they also exert tissue-dependent functions behaving as protective molecules of the liver and cardiovascular system, as modulators o...

A new cathodic material for electro-Fenton (EF) process was prepared based on a macroscopic fiber (CNTF) made of mm-long carbon nanotubes directly spun from the gas phase by floating catalyst CVD, on a carbon fiber (CF) substrate. CNTF@CF electrode is a highly graphitic material combining a high surface area (~260 m2/g) with high electrical conductivity and electrochemical stability. One kind o...

The integration of electro and bio-catalysis offers new ways making molecules under very mild, environmentally benign conditions. We show that TEMPO mediated electro-catalytic oxidation alcohols can be adapted to work in aqueous buffers, with minimal organic co-solvent, enabling biocatalytic reductive amination using the AdRedAm enzyme. combined process a approach amine alkylation native alcoho...

Despite their prevalence in organic synthesis, the application of boronic acids (BAs) as alkyl radical precursors visible-light-assisted photocatalyzed reactions has been limited by high oxidation potential. This study demonstrates prominent ability amide solvents, namely, N,N-dimethylacetamide, to participate hydrogen-bonding interactions with BAs, thus enabling modulation potential toward gen...
