UNLABELLED Sarcosine (N-methylglycine) is present in many environments inhabited by pseudomonads and is likely most often encountered as an intermediate in the metabolism of choline, carnitine, creatine, and glyphosate. While the enzymology of sarcosine metabolism has been relatively well studied in bacteria, the regulatory mechanisms governing catabolism have remained largely unknown. We previ...

Narcissus is one of the very popular flowers among Iranians. This flower has a short life. To investigate the increasing of vase life of cut Narcissus, sour orange fruit extract in concentrations of 2.5, 4, 5.5 and 7 ml L-1 and sucrose in concentrations of 3, 4, 5 and 6% were used. In addition, distilled water was used as a control treatment. In this experiment, characters of vase life and perc...

One of the central questions about conceptual combinations is what happens to constituent concepts that are combined into a complex concept. Different types of conceptual combinations have been distinguished: adjective– noun combinations, such as sour wine (see, e. In adjective–noun and noun– noun combinations, a considerable ambiguity may be present, in that a variety of relations can be impli...

Sour cherry cv. Marasca is Dalmatian cultivar from XVI century. Cultivation is limited on the north and central part of Dalmatia and on the part of the islands, where it achieves the best quality of fruit, high content of dry matter and sugar respectively, agreeable aroma and intense color. Sour cherry cv. Marasca is source of biologically active ingredients, organic and inorganic compounds, di...

Caustic scrubbing is a technology that has been used for the removal of H2S and other acid species from gases in different industries for many years. Improvements in design and control strategies, favorable prices for caustic compared with other non-regenerable H2S scavenging chemicals, and the potential for sales value for the NaHS (sodium bisulfide) product have made caustic scrubbing an econ...

In order to explore the cross-modal cognitive associations between smell and taste, a chemosensory analogue of the Stroop task (Stroop 1935) was developed. Fourteen participants were presented with an odorant and a tastant and asked to identify the tastant as "sweet" or "sour" by pressing 1 of 2 buttons as quickly as possible. Participants were faster to name the taste when it was presented wit...

Background: By decreasing oxidative stress and whereby decreasing insulin resistance, it may be possible to decrease complications of Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Green tea and sour tea contain phytochemicals which have anti-oxidative function. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of sour and green tea consumption on insulin resistance and oxidative stress in DM.Methods: This study is a ra...
