The use of plants as bioreactors for the large-scale production of recombinant proteins has emerged as an exciting area of research. The current shortages in protein therapeutics due to the capacity and economic bottlenecks faced with modern protein production platforms (microbial, yeast, mammalian) has driven considerable attention towards molecular pharming. Utilizing plants for the large-sca...

The cell wall of the marine chrysophycean alga Pleurochrysis scherfellii is composed of distinct wall fragments embedded in a gelatinous mass . The latter is a polysaccharide of pectic character which is rich in galactose and ribose . These wall fragments are identified as scales . They have been isolated and purified from the vegetative mother cell walls after zoospore formation . Their ultras...

The study presents a possible innovative use of cement fiber boards (CFBs) reinforced with cellulose fibers for construction an interior prefabricated staircase. Regarding the unusual traditional material that was used in all bearing elements staircase, numerical simulation model SBETA carried out and, subsequently, multiple experimental static loading applied. In order to carry testing load ca...

The research of new molecular materials able to replace classical solid materials in electronics has attracted growing attention over the past decade. Among these compounds photoswitchable Prussian blue analogues (PBA) are particularly interesting for the elaboration of new optical memories. However these coordination polymers are generally synthesised as insoluble powders that cannot be integr...

This communication describes a simple method for printing aqueous solutions with millimeter-scale patterns on a variety of substrates using an easily fabricated, paper-based microfluidic device (a paper-based "stamp") as a contact printing device. The device is made from inexpensive materials, and it is easily assembled by hand; this method is thus accessible to a wide range of laboratories and...

The light-front wave function of a proton composed three quarks and perturbative gluon is computed. This then used to derive expressions for the color charge density correlator $?{\ensuremath{\rho}}^{a}({\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{q}}_{1}){\ensuremath{\rho}}^{b}({\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{q}}_{2})?$ at $\mathcal{O}({g}^{4})$ due emission by one in light-cone gauge. exhibits s...

Alkali Activated Concrete (AAC) is an alternative kind of concrete that uses fly ash as a total replacement of Portland cement. Fly ash combined with alkaline solution and cured at high temperature reacts to form a binder. Four point bending tests on two full scale beams made with AAC are described in this paper. Companion small material specimens were also casted with the aim of properly chara...
