Common mass transfer models for multistage distillation show significant deviations between calculated and experimental height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP) values viscous feed mixtures. This is due limited transferability of the available data which were mainly obtained from experiments with inviscid Separation efficiency measurements at elevated viscosities can be conducted polymer...

Essential oil compounds of Croton pseudopulchellus and gratissimus were analysed using Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrophotometry screened for antimicrobial activity against Bacillus pimilus (ATCC 29212), cereus 10702), Staphylococcus aureus 3983), Streptococcus faecalis Escherichia coli 4983), Klebsiella pneumoniae 2983) Pseudomonas aeruginosa 19582) Agar gel disk diffusion test minimum inhibit...

The existence of two basic levels of storage (fast/volatile and slow/non-volatile) has been a long-standing premise of most computer systems, influencing the design of OS components, including file systems, virtual memory, scheduling, execution models, and even their APIs. Emerging resistive memory technologies – such as phase-change memory (PCM) and memristors – have the potential to provide l...

Antibiotics are commonly used due to their antimicrobial activity and widely used for promoting growth, preventing diseases or therapy in poultry. The misuse of antibiotics in livestock production induces resistant bacteria into the environment. Therefore, the need to develop alternatives to antibiotics become increasingly important, that protect and improve global public health. The phytobioti...

For analyzing the useful components in kanpei and natsumi, volatile as well non-volatile were analyzed using HPLC GC/MS. Kanpei natsumi juices contain free sugars organic acids which are involved imparting sweet sour flavors. Analysis of sugar content revealed that sucrose was 6.53±0.31 g/100 g 7.36±0.28 respectively. The citric acid, is an 0.99±0.04 0.87±0.06 g/100g, analysis 20 different amin...

Phenotypic analysis of the daf-11 and daf-21 mutants of Caenorhabditis elegans suggests that they have defects in components shared by processes analogous to vertebrate taste and olfaction. daf-11 and daf-21 mutations were previously shown to cause inappropriate response to the dauer-inducing pheromone. By mutational analysis and by disabling specific chemosensory sensilla with a laser, we show...

Flos Lonicerae Japonicae (FLJ) is a popular herb used for many centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a treatment of fever and inflammation. Non-fumigated processing of FLJ has been the traditional approach used in post-harvest preparation of the commodity for commercial use. However, in recent years, natural drying processing of FLJ has been replaced by sulfur-fumigation for efficiency a...
