Glycyrrhiza glabra residue (GGR) was efficiently subjected to concentrated phosphoric acid (PA) pretreatment with/without surfactant assistance, and promising results were obtained following separate enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) of the biomass. Pretreatment was carried out using 85 % PA either at 50 or 85 °C with 12.5 % solid loading for 30 min. In parallel experiments, ...

the spider mite, t. turkestani, is considered as one of the most important polyphagous pests of many crops. its reproductive ability, developmental time, preimaginal mortality and reproduction rate were determined on kidney bean at 20, 25 and 30°c,70±5% rh and 16l:8d. female longevity and immature developmental period (6.74 and 5.8 days, respectively) were shorter at 30°c than at 20 and 25°c. t...

The provision of pure enantiomers is of increasing importance not only for the pharmaceutical industry but also for agrochemistry and biotechnology. In general, there are two rival approaches to provide pure enantiomers. The "chiral" approach is based on developing an asymmetric synthesis of just one of the enantiomers, while the "racemic" approach is based on separating mixtures of the two ena...

coronary artery anomalies are rare, with their incidence varying from 1 to 5%. angiography is a commonly used modality for the assessment of coronary artery anomalies. based on previous reports, a majority of coronary artery anomalies are of origin or distribution, with separate ostia of the left anterior descending artery and left circumflex artery. coronary artery anomalies may cause myocardi...

Objective: At present, there are many antiepileptic drugs with a wide range of side effects on the human body. It was assumed that Zataria multiflora Boiss (Z. multiflora) with sedative, anti-spasmodic and anti-inflammatory activity may be effective in the treatment of epilepsy. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the effect of Z. multiflora hydroalcoholic extract and its fraction ext...

In many physical problems or applications one has to study functions that are invariant under the action of a symmetry group G and this is best done in the orbit space of G if one knows the equations and inequalities defining the orbit space and its strata. It is reviewed how the P̂ -matrix is defined in terms of an integrity basis and how it can be used to determine the equations and inequaliti...
