The use of fillers in paper products can provide cost and energy savings, improved paper properties, increased productivities, and specifically desired paper functionalities. There are many problems associated with the use of fillers, such as unsuitability of calcium carbonate fillers in acid papermaking, negative effects of filler loading on paper strength, sizing, and retention, and tendencie...

Potato residue is a rich source of dietary fibre. Herein, the effects unmodified and enzymes (cellulase xylanase) modified potato fibres on distribution intestinal microbiotas production short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) C57BL/6 mice were evaluated. Results showed that enzymatic modification increased soluble fibre content in residue. Administration these promoted acetic acid, n-butyric iso-butyr...

Abstract The wide application of gold nanoparticles has attracted much attention to the development research in nanoparticles. In this study, were prepared by chemical reduction method using potassium tetrachloroaurate as source and sodium borohydride reducer agent. formation was confirmed surface plasmon spectra ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy at wavelength 507 nm. capping process studied two...

sulfur mustard (sm, bis- (2-chloroethyl) sulphide) is a chemical warfare agent that causes dna alkylation, protein modification and membrane damage. sm can trigger several molecular pathways involved in inflammation and oxidative stress, which cause cell necrosis and apoptosis, and loss of cells integrity and function. epigenetic regulation of gene expression is a growing research topic and is ...

The galactose-binding lectin from the seeds of the jequirity plant (Abrus precatorius) was subjected to various chemical modifications in order to detect the amino acid residues involved in its binding activity. Modification of lysine, tyrosine, arginine, histidine, glutamic acid and aspartic acid residues did not affect the carbohydrate-binding activity of the agglutinin. However, modification...
