Using bakers' yeast as a biocatalyst, the chemoselective reduction of aromatic nitro compounds bearing electron-withdrawing groups gave the corresponding hydroxylamines with good to excellent conversion under mild conditions.

Since recent surveys of insect hemolymph (1, 2) have shown that trehalose is the major blood sugar, the hydrolytic enzyme trehalase has also awakened the interest of investigators. A purified preparation of the enzyme from Galleria mellonella (3) and from Phormia regina (4) was recently obtained and some of its properties described. The biosynthesis of trehalose with an enzyme preparation from ...

We propose a theory of immediate inferences from assertions containing a single quantifier, such as: All of the artists are bakers; therefore, some of the bakers are artists. The theory is based on mental models and is implemented in a computer program, mReasoner. It predicts three main levels of increasing difficulty: (a) immediate inferences in which the premise and conclusion have identical ...

Statistically significant difference was found between the prevalence of cough in construction workers, agricultural workers and bakers, as well as between the prevalence of phlegm in construction workers, furniture manufacturers and agr...
