the current study evaluated the effects of electron beam (eb; 10, 20, 30 and 40 kgy), urea and naoh treatments on chemical composition, phenolic compounds, in vitro gas production and in situ ruminal degradability of pistachio by-product (pb). the eb decreased (p < 0.01) neutral detergent fiber (ndf), acid detergent fiber (adf) and acid detergent lignin (adl) contents of pb. treating pb by naoh...

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) has recently been shown to be oxidized by iron within the lysosomes of macrophages, and this is a novel potential mechanism for LDL oxidation in atherosclerosis. Our aim was to characterize the chemical and physical changes induced in LDL by iron at lysosomal pH and to investigate the effects of iron chelators and α-tocopherol on this process. LDL was oxidized by i...

Maximum lipid production (66% w/w dry wt) inRhodotorula glutinis IIP-30 utilizing glucose in a fed-batch fermentation under N-limiting conditions at 30°C, was at pH 4. At pH 3, 5 and 6, the lipid contents were 12%, 48% and 44%, respectively. There was only a small change in the fatty acid profile over the pH range examined, although the ergosterol content decreased by a third as the pH increased.

Background: Astronauts will be exposed to both chronic space radiation and acute high doses of energetic radiation of solar particle events in long-term deep space missions. The application of radioprotectors in space missions has basic limitations such as their very short time window as well as their acute toxicity and considerable side effects. The aim of the present study was to investigate ...

Pinus massoniana wood was modified by steam heat-treatment at 160°C, 180°C, 200°C and 220°C respectively effects of the changes density, pH, surface wettability apparent morphology heat-treated on its bonding performance were studied in this paper. The results showed that underwent a series physical chemical during as following: (1) degradation hemicellulose cellulose with low degree polymeriza...

Abstract Composites‐based photocatalysis relies on the interfacial electron transfer between metallic cocatalyst and photosensitizer (the semiconductor) to realize spatial separation of charge carriers. Herein, an ingenious heterojunction Co‐CN single atom catalysts (SACs) g‐C 3 N 4 is constructed for heterogeneous photo‐Fenton‐like reactions. Driven by built‐in electric field across heterojunc...

background: organophosphorus pesticides are one of the most consumable poisons. such poisons can enter water sources by different routes. since consuming some drinking water containing an amount of poison higher than the standard level, causes undesirable effects on human health. this research aimed to study the effectiveness of elimi­nating malathion from water by ultraviolet irradiation (uv) ...

A new approach to functionalize the surface of polyester textiles is described in this study. Functionalization was achieved by incorporating pH/temperature-responsive polyelectrolyte microgels into the textile surface layer using UV irradiation. The aim of functionalization was to regulate polyester wettability according to ambient conditions by imparting stimuli-responsiveness from the microg...

In a proof-of-concept study, an acidic (pH 5.8) biochar was created using a low pyrolysis temperature (350 °C) and steam activation (800 °C) to potentially improve the soil physicochemical status of an eroded calcareous soil. Biochar was added at 0%, 1%, 2%, and 10% (by wt.) and soils were destructively sampled at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 month intervals. Soil was analyzed for gravimetric water con...

In this paper, the photocatalytic degradation of glyphosate by zinc oxide (ZnO) photocatalysts doped with tungsten (W) was investigated under solar simulated light. The were successfully synthesized through a simple precipitation method and subsequently characterized different techniques: Raman spectroscopy, UV–Vis, N2 adsorption at ?196 °C, X-ray diffraction, SEM analysis. particular, all prep...
