The aim of the present work was to investigate the feasibility of Kattamanakku tree leaf powder carbon (KTC) for Acid Red-114 (AR-114) adsorption. The adsorption of AR-114 on KTC material was studied as a function of KTC dose (0.05-1.20g). , solution pH 3-10, contact time and initial concentration (70-380 mg/l)., The influence of these parameters on the adsorption capacity was studied using the...

The reductive transformation of the 10 most-widely distributed fluorinated volatile compounds and of tetrachloroethene was investigated for up to 177 days under anaerobic conditions in sewage sludge and aquifer sediment slurries. Concentrations of parent compounds and of degradation products were identified by GC-MS. We observed transformation of CFC-11 to HCFC-21 and HCFC-31, of CFC-113 to HCF...

The history of Irofulven, MGI Pharma’s novel anti-tumor drugcandidate, unfolds like a suspense story. It involves toxins, great expectations and crushed hopes, and a promise for a better future. The journey of Irofulven from a natural toxin isolated from a mushroom to a chemotherapeutic drug has involved people and places that have influenced American mycology in the 20th century, and has left ...

Mitophagy, which selectively degrades mitochondria via autophagy, has a significant role in mitochondrial quality control. When mitophagy is induced in yeast, mitochondrial residential protein Atg32 binds Atg11, an adaptor protein for selective types of autophagy, and it is recruited into the vacuole along with mitochondria. The Atg11-Atg32 interaction is believed to be the initial molecular st...

A psychrotrophic bacterium isolated from river sediment was identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens 114. It grew at 0 degrees C and optimally at 20 degrees C. The bacterium produced a protease with a molecular weight of 47,000, which was stable in the pH range of 5 to 9 and worked optimally between pH 6.5 and 10. Activity was optimal at 35 degrees C and was lost immediately at 50 degrees C and af...

The properties and subunit composition of the RNA extracted from RD-114 virions have been studied. The RNA extracted from the virion has a sedimentation coefficient of 52S in a nondenaturing aqueous electrolyte. The estimated molecular weight by sedimentation in nondenaturing and weakly denaturing media is in the range 5.7 X 10(6) to 7.0 X 10(6). By electron microscopy, under moderately denatur...

After Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease (PD) is considered the most common neurodegenerative disease. Its prevalence is the same in all area but it is common in males than females. From every 100 persons who are above 60 years old, one of them has PD. Also 5-10% of patients are less than 40 years old. This progressive neuroinflammation disease isn’t fatal. In 60% of cases is with depre...

Many cyberinformaticians would agree that, had it not been for amphibious epistemologies, the refinement of randomized algorithms might never have occurred [114, 114, 188, 62, 114, 62, 70, 179, 68, 95, 54, 188, 152, 95, 191, 59, 168, 148, 99, 152]. In this work, we disprove the deployment of cache coherence [58, 129, 128, 106, 154, 51, 176, 164, 76, 59, 134, 203, 193, 116, 65, 24, 123, 109, 48,...

In a series of recent experiments at TASCA, production and decay as well as chemical properties of element 114 have been investigated using the Pu(Ca,3/4n)-reaction leading to 114 [1,2]. Because the Pu target material is available only in very limited amounts, the target preparation technique should give high yields. Easy and complete recovery of the target material is another prerequisite [3]....
