This study investigates the E-mineral rights trade market in China. This market could improve information disclosure, transparency and efficiency of mineral rights. In China, all mineral resources belong to the country, so this Electronic trade market is both E-business and E-government. Their subjects include departments of land and resources administration, government departments, State-owned...

Elasmobranch vertebral cartilage has a substantial mineral fraction (39-55%) and the arrangement of mineral varies among species. We examined vertebrae from one shark species, Mustelus californicus, to determine mineral content, the effect of mineral on material properties and the viscoelastic response of vertebral cartilage. We serially demineralized vertebrae and compressively tested them to ...

In this paper we investigate how metabolic network structure affects any coordination between transcript and metabolite profiles. To achieve this goal we conduct two complementary analyses focused on the metabolic response to stress. First, we investigate the general size of any relationship between metabolic network gene expression and metabolite profiles. We find that strongly correlated tran...

Indigenous communities across the globe, especially in rural areas, consume locally available plants known as Traditional Food Plants (TFPs) for their nutritional and health-related needs. Recent research shows that many TFPs are highly nutritious they contain health beneficial metabolites, vitamins, mineral elements other nutrients. Excessive reliance on mainstream staple crops has its own dis...

Abstract The impacts of maternal nutrition throughout the life offspring have been studied in last decades. However, some molecular mechanisms and responses involved fetal programming beef cattle remain unclear. This study investigated effect different prenatal strategies on liver metabolome body weight Nellore bulls at slaughter. For that purpose, three nutritional treatments were applied 126 ...

In this study we report the effects of fungal metabolites isolated from cultures of the fungus Trichoderma citrinoviride ITEM 4484 on the feeding preference of the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi, a major pest of cereal crops. Different phagodeterrent metabolites were purified by a combination of direct and reverse phase column chromatography and thin-layer chromatography. Chemical investigations, by ...

A stoichiometric model of metabolism was developed to describe the balance of metabolic reactions during steady-state growth of Escherichia coli on glucose (or metabolic intermediates) and mineral salts. The model incorporates 153 reversible and 147 irreversible reactions and 289 metabolites from several metabolic data bases for the biosynthesis of the macromolecular precursors, coenzymes, and ...

Bromfenac (Duract(R)), a drug approved for pain, was expected to be metabolized by the rat to an acyl glucuronide, a metabolite formed with most compounds of similar structure. During the investigation of metabolite profiles in rat bile following administration of 1 mg/kg iv doses of 14C-bromfenac, an acid-labile metabolite was found that degraded to form 14C-bromfenac. Isolation and characteri...
