Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus is a gram-negative and endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacterium that has several beneficial effects in host plants; thus, utilization of this bacterium as a biofertilizer in agriculture may be possible. G. diazotrophicus synthesizes levan, a D-fructofuranosyl polymer with β-(2→6) linkages, as an exopolysaccharide and the synthesized levan improves the stress toleran...

The concentration dependence of dynamic moduli G’ and G” of soy protein isolates (SPI) and soy protein concentrates (SPC) were studied in solutions prepared under different conditions. Three-level preliminary fractional experiments were undertaken to study effects of temperature, pH, concentration on the gel strength of soy protein isolate and soy protein concentrate solutions. Protein concentr...

background and aims: neurons are injured under physical, chemical and pathological conditions. the effect of peripheral nervous system injuries may return as retrograde to the cell body of neurons in central nervous system resulting in brain and spinal cord degeneration. because of high content of camphor and borneol, achillea biebersteinii from asteracea family may be effective in prevention t...

We study the impact of strong magnetic fields on pasta phases that are expected to exist in inner crust neutron stars. employ relativistic mean field model describe nucleon interaction and use self-consistent Thomas-Fermi approximation calculate nonuniform matter star crust. The properties crust-core transition examined. It is found as strength $B$ less than ${10}^{17}$ G, effects not evident c...

Is mutually beneficial cooperation in trust games more prevalent with private property or common property? Does the strength of property right entitlement affect the answer? Cox, Ostrom, Walker, et al. [1] report little difference between cooperation in private and common property trust games. We assign stronger property right entitlements by requiring subjects to meet a performance quota in a ...

Abstract Harmful algal blooms (HABs) caused by the pelagophyte Aureococcus anophagefferens have spread globally and are a threat to coastal ecosystems. Although some HAB mitigation techniques such as biocides can be effective, many approaches negative consequences on environment. Therefore, it is important investigate alternative that ecologically safe commercially viable. Here, we examine effe...
