of a thesis at the University of Miami. Any prediction based on numerical model contains uncertainty. The Deepwater Horizon oil spill forecast is a challenge due to the difficulty in measuring key parameters and the complexity in predicting the oil fate. Monte-Carlo (MC) sampling are applied to quantify the forecast uncertainties in an integral oil plume model simulating the Deepwater Horizon o...

The citron, Citrus medica Linn., originally introduced into southern Europe from the Orient, is now grown in limited quantities in Puerto Rico, California, and Florida. When ripe the fruit resembles a giant lemon. It is normally picked while it is somewhat immature and the epicarp is still green. The essential oils in the fruit are oil of citron and oil of cedra, which are present in oil sacs i...

minimum inhibitory concentrations (mic) of some essential oils and citric acid were determined against two micro-organisms associated with spoilage of orange juice (saccharomyces cervisiae and leuconostoc mesenteroids) and against four unidentified microorganisms isolated from citrus surface and spoiled orange juice. mic for limonene were obtained less than 5% w/v aqueous against saccharomyces ...

China is one of the leading producers of citrus in the world. Gannan in Jiangxi Province is the top navel orange producing area in China. In the present study, an essential oil was prepared by cold pressing of Gannan navel orange peel followed by molecular distillation. Its chemical composition was analyzed by GC-MS. Twenty four constituents were identified, representing 97.9% of the total oil....

This author discusses the utility and versatility of the modern croton oil peel, which, unlike older formulations, may be used for all ages and skin types for effective and long-lasting skin resurfacing. He provides the rationale for various croton oil concentrations, focusing on avoiding complications while achieving a desirable clinical result and includes a comprehensive guide to application...

The volatile compounds from Maclura pomifera (Osage orange fruit) peel have been studied by GC-FID and GC–MS. Volatiles fraction proportion was estimated to 60 mg/kg. Identified compounds consist on aliphatics (52.6%), monoterpenes along with sesquiterpenes (27.3%), phenylpropane derivatives along with related compounds (10.0%) and other compounds (10.6%). Among the 60 identified compounds, 1-h...

background and objectives: the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of bitter orange (citrus aurantium) leaf, ripe and unripe peel essential oils, cultivated in southwest of iran, were investigated. materials and methods: the analysis of chemical composition of hydro-distilled essential oils was carried out by gc-ms. the disc diffusion and broth micro-dilution were used to assay the ...
