Yet questions remain about the extent to which institutions have actually transformed their policy practice to embrace democratic governance of techno-scientific decision making. A critic...

Abstract In the paper, five quaternary ammonium salts derived from rosin were synthesized, characterized and their antifungal activities against different molds studied. Choline salt tetramethylammonium hydroxide synthesized dehydroabietic acid ethanolamine ester which are new compounds propylene pimaric acid. Their structures confirmed by FTIR, 1 HNMR, 13 CNMR, high resolution mass spectrometr...
