(b) Situations of interest Fig. 1. An example for time-series-based bio-medical situations.  Abstract—This paper describes a time-series-based classification approach to identify similarities between bio-medical-based situations. The proposed approach allows classifying collections of time-series representing bio-medical measurements, i.e., situations, regardless of the type, the length and th...

This study explores the bio-ethanol innovation system in Taiwan from the perspective of a technology innovation system (TIS). Taiwan is a newly industrialized country and is not currently a main producer of bio-ethanol. This study analyzes the evolution of bio-ethanol innovation system in Taiwan and places a particular emphasis on challenges that present policies face in the context of potentia...

Five biotic and abiotic inducers namely, (Bio-Arc and Bio-Zaid) and (salicylic acid, K HPO and neem 2 4 oil) were examined for their effectiveness in controlling fungal diseases, improving growth and yield of alfalfa. The field trials have shown that salicylic acid, K HPO and neem oil respectively gave a significant P 0.05 2 4 protection against rust, downy mildew in both tested cvs. Ismailia-1...

Introduction Event extraction is one of the main focuses in bio-text mining (TM). Interconnecting extracted events into reaction networks provides biologists with a wealth of fine-grained information on biochemical reactions [1]. Intuitively, extracted events could be connected into networks based on common entities. However, this approach is limited due to: 1) its dependence on flawless entity...

Introduction The reciprocating biomass conversion reactor (RBCR) is a novel means of converting biomass to bio-oil. The RBCR is a repurposed highcompression 4-stroke internal combustion engine into which a fluidizing gas and a small volume fraction of pulverized biomass are introduced, and the crankshaft is cycled by an external energy source to supply the process heat for thermo-chemical conve...

The identification of recent HIV infection is important for epidemiological studies and to monitor the epidemic. The objective of this study was to evaluate two rapid tests that are easily available to the Brazilian scientific community for using as markers of recent HIV infection. The Rapid Test - HIV-1/2 Bio-Manguinhos (Bio-Manguinhos/Fiocruz, Brazil) and the Rapid Check HIV 1&2 (NDI-UFES, Ce...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of bio-oil incorporation on properties of bio-oil-phenol formaldehyde (BPF) resol resins along with the optimization of petro-phenol substitution level. Crude bio-oil prepared from endocarp shells of Ziziphus mauritiana by direct solvolytic liquefaction (ethanol-water 1:1 wt./wt. at 300 °C) was used to partially substitute the petro-phenol (30% t...

Abstract While there exists recent research about greenwashing in the context of branding and product packaging as well advertising, we investigated detection depending on cues colour price itself. We hypothesized: The more fit to mental representation corresponding category-prototype bio (or non-bio) products, likely consumers classify that category, are confident with classification-decision ...

Removal of enzyme inhibitors released during lignocellulose pretreatment is essential for economically feasible biofuel production. We tested bio-abatement to mitigate enzyme inhibitor effects observed in corn stover liquors after pretreatment with either dilute acid or liquid hot water at 10% (w/v) solids. Bio-abatement of liquors was followed by enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose. To distingui...

background: this research studies the effects of activation and inhibition of wnt3a signaling pathway in buffalo (bubalus bubalis) embryonic stem (es) cell-like cells. materials and methods: to carry on this experimental study, the effects of activation and inhibition of wnt3a signaling in buffalo es cell-like cells were examined using bio (0.5 mm) combined with wnt3a (200 ng/ml), as an activat...
