In the present work, optimization of pectinase-assisted and tri-solvent-mediated extraction of lycopene from waste tomato peels was carried out. The optimized parameters for enzymatic pre-treatment were 2% pectinase concentration, pH 5.5, 4-h incubation, 45 °C and 150 rpm. Maximum recovery of lycopene from tomato peels using optimized tri-solvent extraction was achieved at 45 °C, 120-min incuba...

In the previous half-century, natural rock phosphates (PN) have been a valuable alternative for phosphorus (P) fertilizer sustainable agriculture; furthermore, phosphogypsum (PG) has widely used as soil amendment since it improves some properties, increases crop yields, and represents an environmental concern that can make good economic profit; this research aimed to study effects of microbial ...

The temperature and pH dependent self-assembly of three star shaped ethylene oxide-propylene oxide (EO-PO) block copolymers (Tetronics® 304, 904 and 908) with widely different hydrophobicity was examined in aqueous solutions. Physico-chemical methods viz. viscosity, cloud point, solubilization along with thermal, scattering and spectral techniques shows strongly temperature and salt dependent s...

The title compound, C19H17BF3P {alternative name: triphen-yl[(tri-fluoro-boran-yl)meth-yl]phosphanium}, was formed by the reaction of tri-phenyl-phosphine with potassium iodo-methyl-tri-fluoro-borate. The mol-ecule features a nearly staggered conformation along the P-C bond and a less than staggered conformation along the C-B bond. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds between the meta-phen...

The title compound, [HP(CH3)3][IrCl4{(H3C)3P}2], consists of a tri-methyl-phospho-nium cation and a tetra-chlorido-bis-(tri-methyl-phosphane)iridate(III) anion. The anion has an octa-hedral arrangement of ligands, with the tri-methyl-phosphane groups occupying trans positions. The Ir(III) atom sits on an inversion center with one P(CH3)3 ligand and two chloride ligands in the asymmetric unit. T...

We hope that this newsletter, will facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing between supported institutions and interest new stakeholders in order to develop our common network. We would like this newsletter to provide relevant ne...

Introduction: The eradication of the middle ear disease is mentioned as the fundamental principle of tympanoplasty. The presence of some factors related to patient or disease itself forces the physician to classify the chronic ear disease as high-risk perforations. The aim of this study was to present a tri-layer tympanoplasty technique and its otological and audiological outcomes in the ...
