The physico-chemical characteristics as well as chemical composition of Arachis hypogaea shell (AHS) ash were evaluated by different techniques such as X-Ray fluorescence, X-Ray diffraction and thermo-gravimetry. The material, which is considered a by-product obtained from Groundnut shelling, was investigated as a potential fertilizer, energy source and as animal feeds. And this will provide a ...

Among the conducting polymers, Polyaniline and its derivatives have been studied extensively in the last decade with improvements in processing having the key role in establishing the intrinsic electrical properties. In the present paper, the camphor sulphonic acid [CSA] doped Poly (o-toluidine) [POT] was prepared using chemical oxidative polymerization method. The prepared CSA doped POT was ch...

Original scientific paper Pear brandy is one of the most desirable alcoholic beverages across Europe. But of all varieties, the most appreciated is Bartlett pear or Williams’s pear as it is better known. The purpose of this work was to create an objective evaluation of the influence of various construction forms of pot still, (alembic, pot and spheric) on final quality of Williams pear brandy. ...

Other people's incidental feelings can influence one's decision in a strategic manner. In a sequential game in which proposers moved first by dividing a given pot of cash (keeping 50% or 75% of the pot) and receivers responded by choosing the size of the pot (from 0 dollars to 1 dollar), proposers were more likely to make an unfair offer (i.e., to keep 75% of the pot) if they were told that rec...

This study was conducted to evaluate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Pot marigold aerial part as an indigenous medicinal Iranian plant. Pot marigold (family Asteraceae) is an important plant of genus Calendula (marigolds), having several medicinal applications all over the world. In order to evaluate its analgesic activities hot water tail immersion and ...

The tail-withdrawal circuit of Aplysia provides a useful model system for investigating synaptic dynamics. Sensory neurons within the circuit manifest several forms of synaptic plasticity. Here, we developed a model of the circuit and investigated the ways in which depression (DEP) and potentiation (POT) contributed to information processing. DEP limited the amount of motor neuron activity that...

E. coli YbgH belongs to the family of proton-dependent oligopeptide transporters (POTs), a subfamily of the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) of secondary active transporters. Like other MFS transporters, POT proteins switch between two major conformations during substrate transport. Apart from possessing a canonical 12-helix, two-domain transmembrane (TM) core, prokaryotic POT proteins usual...

The Human Toxome Project, funded as an NIH Transformative Research grant 2011-2016, is focused on developing the concepts and the means for deducing, validating and sharing molecular pathways of toxicity (PoT). Using the test case of estrogenic endocrine disruption, the responses of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells are being phenotyped by transcriptomics and mass-spectroscopy-based metabolomics....

We developed a one-pot, two-stage synthetic route to substituted 4-aminoquinolines involving an imidoylative Sonogashira coupling followed by acid-mediated cyclization. This three-component reaction affords pharmaceutically valuable 4-aminoquinolines in a one-pot procedure from readily available starting materials. The reaction tolerates various substituents on the arene as well as the use of s...
