Civet coffee is the world’s most expensive and rarest bean. Indonesia was first country to be identified as origin of civet coffee. First, it produced spontaneously by collecting feces from plantations near forest. Due limited stock, farmers began cultivating civets obtain safe supplies Based on this, can divided into two types: wild fed. A combination spectroscopy chemometrics used evaluate au...

Tropical cities can use urban greening designs featuring trees that provide shade and cooling in hot outdoor environments. The cooling effect involves numerous tree characteristics that are not easy to control during planting design, such as the canopy size and the optical properties of leaves. Planting the appropriate tree species dominates the cooling effects and the human thermal environment...

A UPLC-QTOF-MS based metabolomics research was conducted to explore potential biomarkers which would increase our understanding of the model and to assess the integral efficacy of Descurainia sophia seeds extract (DS-A). Additionally, DS-A was split into five fractions in descending order of polarity, which were utilized to illustrate the mechanism together. The 26 identified biomarkers were ma...

In order to get a comprehensive repertoire of foldable domains within whole proteomes, including orphan domains, we developed a novel procedure, called SEG-HCA. From only the information of a single amino acid sequence, SEG-HCA automatically delineates segments possessing high densities in hydrophobic clusters, as defined by Hydrophobic Cluster Analysis (HCA). These hydrophobic clusters mainly ...

OBJECTIVES Liver biopsy diagnosis of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is difficult. We performed a detailed histologic analysis of PSC cases using novel bioinformatics analysis to identify histologic features that may be useful in its diagnosis. METHODS PSC liver explants were examined and compared with primary biliary cirrhosis and hepatitis C explants to act as controls. Demographic, ma...

We examined the effect of the sweet transduction blocker gurmarin on taste responses recorded from neurons in the rat solitary nucleus (NST) to determine how gurmarin sensitivity is distributed across neuronal type. Initially, responses evoked by washing the anterior tongue and palate with 0.5 M sucrose, 0.1 M NaCl, 0.01 M HCl, and 0.01 M quinine-HCl were recorded from 35 neurons. For some cell...

Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi province, China, is one of the most polluted cities in the world. To characterize the ambient particulate pollution, samples of particulates with aerodynamic diameter less than 10 microm (PM(10)) were collected during a 6-day campaign. Individual particles were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscope with Energy-Dispersive Spectrometer (SEM-EDS) to determine thei...

The leaves of Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don contain a large number diverse secondary metabolites, making them comparably complex. genus has received increased interest from scientists in recent years due to its extensive applications several domains, including the pharmaceutical sector, where precise characterization characteristics is required. An effective inquiry technique needed for chemo...

Abstract A recreational river may be exposed to some extent of metal pollution. Two rivers, namely Sungai Weh and Jempul, were selected for this study, as both areas offer activities residents in Jengka, Pahang, Malaysia. This study examines the concentration metals (Fe, Mn, Pb), elucidates possible sources, evaluates toxicity loads, estimates potential health risk. Metal concentrations analyse...

Abstract The texture of a fabric can be perceived by the haptic and visual senses. Visual defined as quality surface. It is an important phenomenon because it significant in many fields, such textile design e-commerce. At same time, when we consider semantics word, to take into account that there are variety manifestations fabrics (e.g., woven, knitted, etc.). mechanism perception was investiga...
