Background and objectives: Colchicum kurdicum (Bornm.) Stef. is a flowering perennial monocotyledon plant that has many important bioactive compounds especially colchicine and colchicine derivatives. In this study, the ultrasound-assisted acidic-solvent extraction method coupled with response-surface method was presented as the successful method for large scale extract...

An adaptable relation extraction system for the biomedical domain is presented. The system makes use of a large set of contextual and shallow syntactic features, which can be automatically optimised for each relation type. The system is tested on three different relation types; protein-protein interactions, tissue expression relations and fragment to parent protein relations.

Due to increasingly stringent environmental regulations, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) has gained wide acceptance in recent years as an alternative to conventional solvent extraction for separation of organic compounds in many analytical and industrial processes. In the past decade, SFE has been applied successfully to the extraction of a variety of organic compounds from herbs and other...

olive oil is one of the oldest known vegetable oils, ranking sixth in world production. since it is extractedfrom fresh fruit and used without aging, the conditions of oil production are very important. during theextraction of virgin olive oil, the milling and malaxation steps are vital for increasing oil yield and quality.in this study, the effect of milling (single or double), temperature of ...

background: optimized rna extraction from tissues and cell lines consists of four main stages regardless of the method of extraction: 1) homogenizing, 2) effective denaturation of proteins from rna, 3) inactivation of ribonuclease, and 4) removal of any dna, protein, and carbohydrate contamination. isolation of undamaged intact rna is challenging when the related tissue contains high levels of ...

Multi-knowledge extraction is significant for many real-world applications. The nature inspired population-based reduction approaches are attractive to find multiple reducts in the decision systems, which could be applied to generate multi-knowledge and to improve decision accuracy. In this Chapter, we introduce two nature inspired populationbased computational optimization techniques namely Pa...

In order to further enhance the accuracy of Web information extraction, and overcome the shortcomings of the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and its hybrid method in parameter optimization, a novel Web extraction algorithm based on a combined and improved particle swarm optimization, ant colony algorithm (IPSO-ACA) and HMM is presented. First, an HMM for information extraction is built. Second, an im...

Background & Aim: Sesame is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world and is one of the oldest oily products used by humans. Sesame oil is an important industrial, oral and medicinal oil. Today, the use of ultrasound has grown significantly due to its effects on food storage and processing. Experimental: In this research, the response level model w...
