Feruloylated arabinoxylan (FAX) from cereal brans has large potential to generate multifunctional materials with customized macromolecular and nanostructural architectures techno-functional properties. Here we investigate the chemical structural mechanisms of hydrogel formation wheat bran FAX following enzymatic crosslinking by laccase a subsequent regeneration procedure involving freeze-drying...

Background: The compositions of Ferrous sulphate, Agarose and Xylenol orange dye (FAX) and Ferrous sulphate, Gelatin and Xylenol orange dye (FGX) in solution of distilled water and sulphuric acid are two tissue-equivalent gel dosimeters. Ionizing radiation causes oxidation of Fe2+ ion to Fe3+ ions which diffuse through the gel matrix and blur the image of absorbed dose over a period of hours af...

Reaction-diffusion equations are commonly used to model the growth and spreading of biological species. The classical diffusion term implies a Gaussian dispersal kernel in the corresponding integro-difference equation, which is often unrealistic in practice. In this paper, we propose a fractional reaction-diffusion equation where the classical second derivative diffusion term is replaced by a f...

The energy consumption of software is becoming an increasingly important issue in designing mobile embedded systems where batteries are used as the main power source. As a consequence, recently, a number of promising techniques have been proposed to optimize software for reduced energy consumption. Such low-power software techniques require an energy consumption model that can be used to identi...
