lipid oxidation has adverse effect on food deterioration and human health. the antioxidant activity of fennel seed extracts (fse) was evaluated by synthetic antioxidant. its oxidative stability was compared in olive oils in concentrations of bha (75 ppm), bht(75 ppm) and  1:1 bha to bht ratio. peroxide (pv), p-anisidine (av) and totox values were evaluated to assess the extent of oil deteriorat...

introduction the demand for food and agricultural products are increasing in a line of population increasing in the world (alexandratos, 2003). it is possible to increase the quality and quantity of agricultural products via extending the farms and producing more products (astaaraei and koocheki, 1995). environmental problems caused by synthetic fertilizers and the high levels of producing and ...

MOTIVATIONS The design of RNA sequences folding into predefined secondary structures is a milestone for many synthetic biology and gene therapy studies. Most of the current software uses similar local search strategies (i.e. a random seed is progressively adapted to acquire the desired folding properties) and more importantly do not allow the user to control explicitly the nucleotide distributi...

Several compounds, such as 4-MAPC (4-methyl-3-oxo-4-aza-5 alpha-pregnane-20- carboxylate), that inhibit conversion of testosterone (T) to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by 5 alpha-reductase have been demonstrated to reduce prostate size in rats and dogs. The current studies were undertaken to determine if this effect is due to a reduction in cell number, in epithelial cell synthetic activity, or bot...

Laboratory column tests conducted to gain insight regarding the biological and chemical clogging mechanisms in a porous medium are presented. To seed the porous medium with landfill bacteria, a mixture of Keele Valley Landfill and synthetic leachate permeated through the column under anaerobic conditions for the first 9 days of operation. After this, 100% synthetic leachate was used. The synthe...

Chromosome engineering is a major focus in the fields of systems biology, genetics, synthetic biology, and the functional analysis of genomes. Here, we describe the "telomerator," a new synthetic biology device for use in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The telomerator is designed to inducibly convert circular DNA molecules into mitotically stable, linear chromosomes replete with functional telomeres...

background and objectives: nowadays, considerable to food biodegradable and edible packaging increased. synthetic packaging due to the problems environment edible coating are thin layer of material which are on the surface of food products and increased the shelf life of foodstuff by providing a moisture and oxygen barrier. edible coatings might be used as carriers of various substances, includ...

In bootstrapping (seed set expansion), selecting good seeds and creating stop lists are two effective ways to reduce semantic drift, but these methods generally need human supervision. In this paper, we propose a graphbased approach to helping editors choose effective seeds and stop list instances, applicable to Pantel and Pennacchiotti’s Espresso bootstrapping algorithm. The idea is to select ...

This research explores the causes of dealer demand amplification leading to a high volume of seed returns in a typical agribusiness supply chain. Seed production occurs months in advance of grower demand, resulting in a limited supply of specific seeds. To hedge against shortages, dealers inflate orders. If demand materializes, dealers benefit from their inflationary behavior. If it does not, t...
