Furan-2,5-diylbis(phenylmethanol) is a key intermediate to access sub(oxa)porphyrins. Previously, this was accessible from fossil-derived furan using highly dangerous lithium reagents. Presently, we have produced cashew apple bagasse (CAB), via the formation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). CAB non-food biomass containing cellulose and hemicellulose. From CAB, obtained HMF in yield 310 mg/g CA...

Business Process Management (BPM) [11, 24, 26] is an area of computer science that focuses on studying all aspects of the processes that underlie organizations. A process is typically defined as a structured, measured set of activities designed to produce a specific output for a particular customer or market [5] and can be anything from the assembly of a car in a factory to the treatment of a p...

Internal tides generated from multiple sites create complicated interference patterns, often making it difficult to identify the origin, direction of propagation, and dissipation individual waves. To these constituent waves, we apply a directional Fourier filter (DFF) method analyse multimodal, broad-wavenumber, internal wave fields found over varying topography. We data derived both numerical ...

Flip-Flops are off many types. Choosing the correct type FF for any application is very important to achieve high performance. the data look ahead d Flip-Flop (DLDFF) from the family of master-slave type is compared with pulse triggered conditional capture Flip-Flop(CCFF).The effect of clock gating on the performance of these Flip-Flops are analyzed. The two Flip-Flops are compared, with clock ...

• Plant resource-use traits are generally hypothesized to be adaptively differentiated for populations distributed along resource gradients. Although nutrient limitations are expected to select for resource-conservative strategies, water limitations may select for either resource-conservative or -acquisitive strategies. We test whether population differentiation reflects local adaptation for tr...

The DNA fragmentation factor (DFF) is composed of two subunits, the 40-kDa caspase-3-activated nuclease (DFF40/CAD) and its 45-kDa inhibitor (DFF45/ICAD). During apoptosis, DFF-40/CAD is activated by caspase-3-mediated cleavage of DFF45/ICAD. Mutational analysis of DFF40/CAD revealed that DFF40/CAD is composed of a C-terminal catalytic domain and an N-terminal regulatory domain. Deletion of the...

Distal femur fractures (DFFs) in elderly patients historically were difficult to treat because of osteoporotic bone, comminution, and intra-articular involvement. Current surgical treatment options, including intramedullary nailing, internal fixation, and external fixation, are complicated by prolonged immobility, malunion, and nonunion. Furthermore, fixation increases the complexity of subsequ...
