This review presents the summary of new studies on pyrolysis of biomass to produce fuels and chemical feedstocks. A number of biomass species, varying from woody and herbaceous biomass to municipal solid waste, food processing residues and industrial wastes, were subjected to different pyrolysis conditions to obtain liquid, gas and solid products. The results of various biomass pyrolysis invest...

in a hydrothermal route devoted for synthesis of ca10(po4)6(oh)2 (ha) nanostructures, morphology can be controlled by experimental condition to form magical ha or nanostructured nanoparticles. in an intermediate condition, a novel nanostructure namely rose-like bundle of ha rod-likes was found, which is different from known ha nanostructures. the chemical synthesis of nanopowders under hydrothe...

Theorems on the convex hull of an extended real-valued function living on a Hilbert space are presented in case the function is separable and in case the function is a composition of another function and a linear transformation. Equivalence of convex hulls of functions and their biconjugates is used. In particular, it is shown that under properness conditions the biconjugate of a separable func...

over the past two decades, there has been a growing trend in using oral hygienic products from natural resources such as essential oils and plant extracts. nepeta cataria l. is a member of the mint family (labiatae) with several medicinal properties. the objective of this study was to determine the chemical composition and antimicrobial activities of essential oils (eos) from n. cataria leaves ...

chemical assessments of forage clearly determine the forage quality; however, traditional methods of analysis are somehow time consuming, costly, and technically demanding. near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (nirs) has been reported as a method for evaluating chemical composition of agriculture products, food, and forage and has several advantages over chemical analyses such as conducting c...

two batches of frankfurters containing about 55% chicken meat with two different oils (including canola and soybean) were manufactured. batch 1 included canola oil and batch 2 included soybean oil in the products. various analyses were performed to detect the lipid changes of both batches during storage. fatty acid composition analysis using gas chromatography showed little change in the fatty ...

in pasture-based milk production systems, using available farm resources in order to reduce feeding costs, the composition and functional properties of dairy cows’ milk are of considerable importance to the dairy farmer, manufacturer and consumer. basically, there are three options for altering the composition and/or functional properties of milk: 1) cow nutrition and grazing management, 2) cow...
