Chemical examination of the ethanol extract of the Indian ocean gorgonian coral Subergorgia suberosa resulted in isolation and identification of revealed compound 1 to be subergorgic acid 1 and a two bio-active analogues 2 and 7 were synthesized by the NaBH4 reduction of compound 1. The present investigation aimed to carry out invitro understanding the antioxidant,anti-inflammatory and antifung...

The water consumption of fermentation-based bio-ethanol production has recently begun to attract public attention. We calculate a minimum consumption of 2.85 gal water/gal of ethanol produced assuming zero liquid discharge and otherwise current industrial practice data. Including cooling tower blowdown and drift this value may increase to on the order of 4 gal water/gal of ethanol produced. Red...

Inspired by the multicopper active site of laccase, which efficiently catalyzes the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), herein we report a novel bio-inspired ORR catalyst composed of a multinuclear copper complex that was immobilized on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) via the covalently grafted triazole-dipyridine (TADPy) dinucleating ligand. This rGO-TADPyCu catalyst exhibited high OR...

This review discusses the multiple bio- and nanotechnological strategies developed in the last few decades for treatment of a group of fatal genetic diseases termed lysosomal storage disorders. Some basic foundation on the biomedical causes and social and clinical relevance of these diseases is provided. Several treatment modalities, from those currently available to novel therapeutic approache...

We introduce and study a multiset-based type system with ratio thresholds motivated by an important regulatory mechanism inside a cell which try to maintain a “life-death” ratio between some given lower and upper thresholds. We use such a type system to control ratio thresholds in a bio-inspired and multisets-based formalism. For this type system we prove a subject reduction theorem, together w...

In order to investigate the effect of different levels of nitrogen and bio-fertilizers on yield of canola plants in Qazvin, Iran, a split-plot design was conducted on the base of randomized complete block design with four replications. Treatments included 3 levels of nitrogen (0, 75 and 150 kg ha-1) and bio-fertilizers on four levels (no inoculation, Azotobacter, Azospirillum and a combination ...

PURPOSE The performance of implant surgery in the posterior maxilla often poses a challenge due to insufficient available bone. Sinus floor elevation was developed to increase the needed vertical height to overcome this problem. However, grafting materials used for the sinus lift technique eventually show resorption. The present study radiographically compared and evaluated the changes in heigh...

objective: this study is an attempt to examine the anti apoptotic effects of bio on rat msc culture. materials and methods: rat marrow primary cell culture was established and exposure groups were defined; cultures with 0.01, 0.1, 1 μm bio. cells cultured without bio treatment were used as controls. during culture expantion, the average doubling time, as an index of the rate of cell growth, wer...
