Although a number of methods using scanning probe lithography to pattern graphene have already been introduced, the fabrication of real devices still faces limitations. We report graphite patterning using scanning probe lithography with control of the gas environment. Patterning processes using scanning probe lithography of graphite or graphene are normally performed in air because water molecu...

BiFeO3 (BFO), Bi0.86Sm0.07Eu0.07FeO3 (BSEFO), and Bi0.86Sm0.07Cd0.07FeO3 (BSCFO) nano powders were prepared by the sol-gel combustion method and the catalytic performances were evaluated in the acetylation reaction of benzyl alcohol. The physical chemical properties of the catalysts were character...

It is not sufficiently appreciated that methly alcohol is very toxic. For econoi' reasons, methyl (wood) alcohol is employed as a substitute for tbyl (grain) alcohol, in what may be termed comparatively innocent products, such as perfumes, hair tonics, skin lotions, , '/ polishes, varnishes, etc. Government analysts, not infrequently, find it employed in the manufacture of various extracts for ...

Alcohol dependence is a chronically relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking and drug taking, loss of control in limiting intake, and the emergence of a withdrawal syndrome in the absence of the drug. Accumulating evidence suggests an important role for synaptic transmission in the central amygdala (CeA) in mediating alcohol-related behaviors and neuroadaptative mechanisms as...

We have been working to develop an enzymatic assay for the alcohol 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (232-MB), which is produced and emitted by certain pines. To this end we have isolated the soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida MB-1, which uses 232-MB as a sole carbon source. Strain MB-1 contains inducible 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol (321-MB) and 3-methyl-2-buten-1-al dehydrogenases, suggesting that 232-MB is meta...

The transglycosylation behavior and capacity of two clan GH-D α-galactosidases, BoGal36A from the gut bacterium Bacteroides ovatus Aga27A guar plant, was investigated compared. enzymes were screened for ability to use para-nitrophenyl-α-galactoside (pNP-Gal), raffinose locust bean gum (LBG) galactomannan as glycosyl donors with acceptors methanol, propanol, allyl alcohol, propargyl alcohol glyc...

Fermentation biotechnology is an important industrial process for the production of alcoholic beverages including wine. However, ageing of wine is always an important issue during production. In present study a attempt has made to produce wine by fermentation process along with the assesment of ageing of wine. In this experiment Grape fruit (jufeng) was used as a raw material and fermentation p...
