Sugar beets (Beta vulgaris L. cv F58-554H1) were cultured hydroponically for 2 weeks in growth chambers with two levels of orthophosphate (Pi) supplied in half strength Hoagland solution. Low-P plants were supplied with 1/20th of the Pi supplied to control plants. With low-P treatment, the acid soluble leaf phosphate and total leaf P decreased by about 88%. Low-P treatment had a much greater ef...

Algal biorefinery process utilizes every component of algal biomass to produce multiple useful fuel products. In this technique, acid pretreatment of algal biomass hydrolyzes microalgal carbohydrates into fermentable sugars, makes lipids more extractable and a protein part accessible for additional products. In the present study, Chlorella sorkiniana produced higher quantity of biodiesel than B...

Extractable functions are functions where any adversary that outputs a point in the range of the function is guaranteed to “know” a corresponding preimage. Here, knowledge is captured by the existence of an efficient extractor that recovers the preimage from the internal state of the adversary. Extractability of functions was defined by the authors (ICALP’08) in the context of perfectly one-way...

Lyophilized, 48-hr log-phase vegetative cells were extracted with chloroform-methanol (2:1, v/v) and ethanol-ether (3:1, v/v) and then saponified with methanolic KOH. Gas-liquid chromatography of the methyl esters of extractable fatty acids revealed distinctive "pattern profiles" of Clostridium botulinum toxigenic types "A," "B," and "E." C. perfringens type "A" and Escherichia coli strain "B" ...

Four different sorghum varieties “Moskwar” MSK, “Yellow short kaura” YSK, “Jigari” JGR and “Kilburi” KLB were malted at room temperature. They had different malting losses, ranging from 5.4% to 10.6%, `moisture content of malt varies from 5.2% to 11.1%. The values of hot water extractable was from 4.0g/l to 6.7g/l. Similar values of cold water extractables of 2.0g/100g was observed in all the v...

We consider the problem of quantifying the information shared by a pair of random variables X1,X2 about another variable S. We propose a new measure of shared information, called extractable shared information that is left monotonic; that is, the information shared about S is bounded from below by the information shared about f(S) for any function f . We show that our measure leads to a new non...
