Downstream processing of chemicals obtained from fermentative route is challenging and cost-determining factor any bioprocess. 2,3-Butanediol (BDO) a promising chemical building block with myriad applications in the polymer, food, pharmaceuticals, fuel sector. The current study focuses on recovery purification BDO produced (68.2 g/L) detoxified xylose-rich sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate by mutan...

Sledgehammer is a tool that harnesses external first-order automatic theorem provers (ATPs) to discharge interactive proof obligations arising in Isabelle/HOL. We extended it with LEO-II and Satallax, the two most prominent higher-order ATPs, improving its performance on higher-order problems. To explore their usefulness, these ATPs are measured against first-order ATPs and built-in Isabelle ta...

Brown Norway (BN) rats treated with aurothiopropanol-sulfonate (Atps) constitute a model of Th2-mediated immunological disorders associated with elevated IgE responses and renal IgG deposits. Using F(2) offspring between Atps-susceptible BN and Atps-resistant Lewis rats, we had previously mapped three quantitative trait loci on chromosomes 9, 10, and 20 for which BN alleles increased susceptibi...

Pineapple peel is a potential source for the extraction of beneficial bioactive compounds due to the large amount of waste after processing. The extraction of bromelain from pineapple peel by using aqueous two-phase system (ATPs) and its application in muscle models were investigated. Bromelain predominantly partitions to the polyethylene glycol (PEG) rich top phase. The highest enzyme activity...

a novel, simple and more sensitive spectrophotometric procedure has been developed for the determination of brilliant blue fcf and carmoisine in food samples by an aqueous two-phase system (atps). after extraction, the absorbance values were measured at 527 and 632 nm for carmoisine and brilliant blue fcf, respectively. the effects of different parameters such as, polyethylene glycol (type and ...

1 Abstract Researchers of reasoning in computer science and psychology are estranged sib-lings. The tools they use to investigate patterns of inference seldom overlap, because the goals of each group differ. A computer scientist's primary goal is to efficiently engineer systems based on logical calculi. But, human reasoning systematically violates the constraints imposed by orthodox logic. One ...

Beverage emulsions are systems that are composed of two liquids including oil and water which are prepared by homogenizing oil phase in an acidic aqueous phase. They must be stable in both concentrated and diluted form for a period of 6-12 months upon standing at room temperature. Two immiscible phases contained systems are thermodynamically unsta-ble. In other words, they are vulnerable to bre...
