Compounds capable of light-triggered cytotoxicity are appealing potential therapeutics, because they can provide spatial and temporal control over cell killing to reduce side effects in cancer therapy. Two simple homoleptic Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes with almost-identical photophysical properties but radically different physiochemical properties were investigated as agents for photodynamic th...

Torrefaction pretreatment is a mild form of pyrolysis that has the potential to produce high-quality raw material for making biofuel serves as replacement coal in bioenergy industry. Microwave-assisted torrefaction was conducted on white spruce sawdust (WSS) at temperatures 200 °C, 250 and 300 °C retention times 5 min, 7 9 min an inert environment. The process produces solid carbon, commonly kn...

Despite the current advancements in, and increasing use of renewable types energy, approximately 40% world’s electricity is still produced by coal fired power stations. This trend significantly higher in some continents, for example 70% India up to 90% South Africa. In this study fly-bottom ash (FBA) mixture with different component percentages BA (bottom ash)100, FA (fly ash) 25-BA75, FA50-BA5...

Rhazya stricta is a unique medicinal plant source for many indole alkaloids, non-alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenes and other unknown molecules with tremendous potential for therapeutic applications against many diseases. In the present article, we generated computational data on predictive properties and activity across two key therapeutic areas of cancer and obesity, and corresponding cheminf...

in this research, the effect of nanoclay on physiochemical, thermal and structural properties of urea formaldehyde resin (uf) was investigated. the prepared gluf resin was mixed mechanically with the 0.5, 1 and 1.5% nanoclay for 5 min at room temperature. the physicochemical properties of the prepared resins were measured according to standard methods. also, the thermal and structural changes i...

The ability of a number of prediction systems was examined to determine how well they could predict Salmonella mutagenicity. The prediction systems included two computer-based systems (CASE and TOPKAT), the measurement of a physiochemical parameter (ke) and the use of structural alerts by an expert chemist. The computer-based systems operators and the chemist were supplied with the structures o...

Peptide and protein sequences are most commonly represented as a strings: a series of letters selected from the twenty character alphabet of abbreviations for the naturally occurring amino acids. Here, we experiment with representations of small peptide sequences that incorporate more physiochemical information. Specifically, we develop three different physiochemical representations for a set o...
