Partial oxidation of methane (POM) is a prominent pathway for syngas production, wherein the hydrogen in product can be recovered directly from reaction system using (H2)-permeable membrane. Enhancing efficiency this H2 separation process current major challenge. In study, Ce0.8Y0.2O2-δ-BaCe0.8Y0.2O3-δ (YDC-BCY) hollow fiber (HF) membranes were developed and characterized their permeation fluxe...

We contrived a color-imaging manner in histodiagnosis of cancer and evaluated its clinical feasibility and significance. Cancer was microscopically detected by identifying specific reddish pink fluorescence emitted from cancer cells under blue light irradiation, which was based on a photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) theory. Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) was used to treat the histologic samples. Three di...

The production of color variants of Serratia marcescens by means of ultraviolet light irradiation has been reported by Labrum and Bunting (1953). These variants exhibited several shades of pink, orange, or white pigmentation, and differed markedly from the natural or wild-type red color. Rizki (1954a) demonstrated that several of these pink, orange, and white variants were capable of inducing r...

This study was conducted to compare of the yeasts identification results obtained with two new systems using the MALDI-TOF MS technique with the ones obtained using the routine identification methods of Candida spp. in clinical microbiology laboratories. All 124 Candida spp. isolates were recovered from the routine examination of clinical specimens in microbiological laboratories and collected ...

CHROMagar Candida is a novel, differential culture medium that is claimed to facilitate the isolation and presumptive identification of some clinically important yeast species. We evaluated the use of this medium with 726 yeast isolates, including 82 isolated directly on the medium from clinical material. After 2 days of incubation at 37 degrees C, 285 C. albicans isolates gave distinctive gree...

A new isolate from medicinal plant endophytes was identified as Penicillium sp. (HKUCC 8070). A water-soluble red pigment was produced by this strain in potato-dextrose broth, maltextract broth and a chemically defined medium containing glutamate as a nitrogen source. The red pigment produced was identified as heat-stable, polyketide Monascus red pigment. The highest yield of the red pigment wa...

Flavonoid biosynthesis has received much attention concerning the structural genes and expression of the associated transcription factors (TFs). In the present study, we examined the gene expression patterns for petals of three colors using a statistical method. Factor analysis was successfully used to examine the expression patterns most present during regulation. The first expression patterns...

TRANSGENIC INSECTS can be given new characteristics, as illustrated by these five Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Normal individuals have what appear to be black eyes, the result of large amounts of red pigment. A mutant version of Ae. aegypti has white eyes because of the lack of an enzyme, kynurenine hydroxylase, required to synthesize the red pigment. This white-eyed condition can be altered via t...

Abstract A new tool for seismic design is presented, called Yield Displacement Charts (YDC). As with its predecessors, the Point Spectra (YPS) and Frequency (YFS), YDC concept takes advantage of simple features yield displacement ( u y ), to use in a performance-based instead force-based period-dependent approach. self-contained comprehensive approach YPS YFS enabling novel aspect be introduced...
