From a mosaic of rather deep V and I images of the CG 30/CG 31 region we report distances and absorptions of these and other interesting interstellar features, the distances and absorptions estimates are based on shifting a new (V−I) 0 – M V relation obtained from nearby, presumably unreddened Hipparcos stars with luminosity class V classification to fit confining trends in the (V−I) – V diagra...

Norisoprenoids appear as promising compounds for authenticating unifloral honeys. So far, however, no method has been optimized for their isolation from a matrix so rich in sugars. In this framework, an original extraction procedure based on the use of Amberlite XAD-16 was developed. Recovery factors were determined and compared with those obtained with another resin (XAD-2). This was done for ...

We construct an example of two countable spaces X and Y such that the spaces C,‘(X) and CG (Y) are homeomorphic and the spaces C,(X) and C,(Y) are not homeomorphic. o 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

Corporate governance (CG) is an important effort to ensure accountability and responsibility and is a set of principles, which should be incorporated into every part of the organization. This study focused on the state of Corporate Governance (CG) in two categories of the banking industries: Conventional Banks and Islamic Banks. As Conventional Banks and Islamic Banks differ a great deal in the...

In this paper we used a previously reported model for examining the adsorption of nonelectrolytes in solution by solid adsorbents to study the adsorption of lithium(I) cations by acid and sodium amberlites, which is an ion-exchange process. Based on the results, both are equilibrium processes and obey a kinetic law with a unity partial order in the Li+ concentration. The kinetic results were us...

Yarrowia lipolytica (YL) is a "non-conventional" yeast that is capable of producing important metabolites. One of the most important products that is secreted by this microorganism is lipase, a ubiquitous enzyme that has considerable industrial potential and can be used as a biocatalyst in the pharmaceutical, food, and environmental industries. In this work, Yarrowia lipolytica lipase (YLL) was...

Objective: Measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best determinant in assessment of kidney function for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. As extremely accurate methods of GFR measurement (i.e. Inulin clearance) are expensive and Time-consuming and due to limitations of the 24 hour urine collection method, some formula have been developed for the GFR measurement. Here we have ...

This study was aimed (i) to develop an effective method for the purification of ginsenosides for industrial use and (ii) to compare the distribution of ginsenosides in cultured wild ginseng roots (adventitious root culture of Panax ginseng) with those of red ginseng (steamed ginseng) and white ginseng (air-dried ginseng). The crude extracts of cultured wild ginseng roots, red ginseng, and white...
