optimization of cutting conditions is a non-linear optimization with constraint and it is very important to the increase of productivity and the reduction of costs. in recent years, several evolutionary and meta-heuristic optimization algorithms were introduced. the cuckoo optimization algorithm (coa) is one of several recent and powerful meta-heuristics which is inspired by the cuckoos and the...

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). A number of studies support the hypothesis that SCD gene regulation and polymorphism may affect fatty acid composition and fat quality in meat and milk. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the coding region of the bovine stearoyl-CoA desaturase gene have been predicted to result in ...

Objective(s): This study intended to investigate the effects of Ginsenoside-Rbl (Gs-Rbl) on fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) in rat failing heart and to identify potential mechanisms of Gs-Rbl improving heart failure (HF) by FAO pathway dependent on AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Materials and Methods: Rats with chronic HF, induced by adriamycin (Adr), were randomly grouped into 7 groups. Gs-...

For assessing and selecting sustainable suppliers, this study considers a triple-bottom-line approach, including profit, people and planet, and regards business operations, environmental effects along with social responsibilities of the suppliers. Diverse metrics are acquainted with measure execution in these three issues. This study builds up a new hybrid intelligent model, namely COA-LS-SVM, ...

The anaerobic degradation of 5-aminovalerate to valerate, acetate, propionate, and ammonia by Clostridium aminovalericum was shown to involve the following intermediates: glutaric semialdehyde, 5-hydroxyvalerate, 5-hydroxyvaleryl-CoA, 4-pentenoyl-CoA, 2,4-pentadienoyl-CoA, trans-2-pentenoyl-CoA, L-3-hydroxyvaleryl-CoA, 3-ketovaleryl-CoA, acetyl- and propionyl-CoA and the corresponding acylphosp...

Die nachhaltige Abscheidung und Umwandlung von Kohlendioxid (CO2) ist ein Schlüssel für das Erreichen einer kreislauforientierten Kohlenstoffwirtschaft. Bioelektrokatalyse verspricht, dieses Ziel zu erreichen. funktionale Integration CO2-fixierenden Enzymen in Materialien zur Elektrodenfunktionalisierung die Elektrosynthese stereochemisch komplexer Moleküle muss jedoch erst noch demonstriert we...

Objective(s): Staphylococcus aureus is an important bacterial pathogen responsible for a variety numbers of nosocomial and community acquired infections. Biofilm formation is regarded as an important factor in the establishment of S. aureus infection. The contribution of the genetic background of S. aureus to biofilm formation is poorly understood. The aim of the present work was to genotype S....
