Materials Two soybean oils, partially hydrogenated (IV 119120) in a 2 liter Parr hydrogenator with laboratoryprepared catalysts containing copper (8) at 30 psi and 170 (sample A) and 200 C (sample B), respectively, were used in this investigation. Samples of each were transesterified in methanol with sodium methoxide catalyst, and the methyl esters were distilled under vacuum. Analvses of these...

An adult human being has about 100 000 billion cells. The nucleus of each cell carries all our genetic material: a total of two meters of DNA containing some 30 000 genes. When genes are expressed (activated), genetic information is copied from DNA to messenger molecules, messenger RNA (mRNA), which then orchestrate formation of proteins. Proteins are involved in the life processes of all organ...

the european corn borer (ecb) is one of the most important insect pests of corn and some other crops such as rice in iran. this pest is one of the most important hosts of the entomopathogenic fungus beauveria bassiana, a well known fungal entomopathogen with high host range and considerable potential in insect pest control. in an isolate selection program of fungal isolates against ecb, ten iso...

The moisture content is an essential parameter for maintaining the grains' quality, from harvest to storage. Therefore it necessary establish fast and accurate methods their determination. In this sense, study's objective was compare standard method with 105 ºC / 24h alternative microwave determine of soybeans. experimental design used completely randomized four replications containing 50 grain...

Organoimidoylization of Polyoxometalates (POMs) can dramatically modify the electronic structures of POMs and gives rise to novel "value-adding" properties of the POMs for promising material applications including photo-electronic transformation and catalysis. To date, the preparation of multi-functionalized organoimido derivatives of POMs is generally conducted under strict condition and is ti...

Individuals experiencing high levels of social anxiety report frequent and intense anger. Yet, little is known about how they manage this emotion. Despite general tendencies towards anger suppression, subsets of individuals with social anxiety regulate anger through outward expression. In this study, we investigated rejection as an antecedent to anger, examined how and when individuals with hig...
