As a result of his botanical explorations in northern Australia, Ferdinand von Mueller named several Cucurbitaceae that molecular data now show to be distinct, requiring their resurrection from unjustified synonymy. We here describe and illustrate Luffa saccata F. Muell. ex I.Telford, validating a manuscript name listed under Luffa graveolens Roxb. since 1859, and we lectotypify Cucumis picroca...

Surface-engineered yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae codisplaying Rhizopus oryzae glucoamylase and Streptococcus bovis alpha-amylase on the cell surface was used for direct production of ethanol from uncooked raw starch. By using 50 g/L cells during batch fermentation, ethanol concentration could reach 53 g/L in 7 days. During repeated batch fermentation, the production of ethanol could be maintai...

In this work the annual plant called Luffa cylindrica (LC) has been characterized and used to prepare macroscopic lignocellulosic fibers and cellulosic nanoparticles, viz. microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) and whiskers, each of which can be used as a reinforcing phase in bionanocomposites. The morphological, chemical, and physical properties of LC fibers were first characterized. The contents of...

this study was devoted to the development of pulp luffa cclindrica and its characterization paper (annual plant fiber of the family cucurbitaceae). baking at soda helps to achieve a high level of delignification (kappa ≤ 10) and high yield (≈ 67%).the beatability stack valley is comparable to refined wood fibers, the fibers develop a normally time with good hydrophilic properties without excess...

In this document, the hardware performances of Luffa-256 are reported. Our implementations mainly target size optimized implementations in ASIC and the smallest architecture can be implemented with only 10.3 KGE while it achieves about 500 Mbps.

Botanical pesticides are a new trend for pest management because they an environmentally safe alternative synthetic chemicals. The aim of this study was to investigate the insecticidal activity desert date (Balanites aegyptiaca %#91;L.%#93; Delile) seed oils against red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum Herbst) and determine oil chemical compounds by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Oils w...

J. Agric. Sci., Supplement 1: 97–99 In nature, fi lamentous fungi of the genus Aspergillus and Trichoderma are able to secrete a wide range of different enzymes into their environment. In recent year...

The Least Occupied Output First (LOOFA) scheduler is one of several unbuffered crossbar schedulers that provides strong performance guarantees when operated with a speedup of 2 or more. Because LOOFA requires the computation of a maximal matching, it has been considered too slow for use in systems with link rates of 10 Gb/s or more. This paper studies an approximate variant of LOOFA described b...
