The anti-inflammatory effects of fish oil are linked to the ...

The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from Alpinia kwangsiensis rhizomes was investigated by GC-MS. A total of 31 components representing 92.45% of the oil were identified and the main compounds in the oil were found to be camphor (17.59%), eucalyptol (15.16%), β-pinene (11.15%) and α-pinene (10.50%). These four compounds were subsequently isolated and the essential oil and four isola...

Its ingestion, even in small doses produces toxic effects like severe metabolic acidosis, seizures, renal failure and encephalopathy. Management is supportive and prognosis is generally good but fatalities may occur. Herein we report an unusual case of neem oil toxicity in a previously normal adult.

We study the optimal control of a steady-state dead oil isotherm problem. The problem is described by a system of nonlinear partial differential equations resulting from the traditional modelling of oil engineering within the framework of mechanics of a continuous medium. Existence and regularity results of the optimal control are proved, as well as necessary optimality conditions. Mathematics ...

The extensive fluctuations in oil prices have vast impacts on economies. The economical instability may be observed for both oil-exporting and oil-importing countries due to high volatility of oil prices. Oil price data as a time series is a highly nonlinear system which exhibits complex patterns. Traditional oil time series analysis employs statistical methods to model and explain the oil data...
