An efficient synthesis of chromenylphenylpropanone derivatives as warfarine-like analogues was developed by the Michael addition of 4-hydroxycoumarin to α,β-unsaturated compounds in the presence of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone supported antimony(III) chloride (PVPP-SbCl3) as a new polymeric Lewis acid catalyst in chloroform at reflux conditions without formation of 2,4-...

Eggshell quality is the main trait to assess egg quality. Marker assisted selection can be used to improve this trait. During eggshell formation, a mass of inorganic minerals is deposited. The Sodium Channel (SCNN1) gene family plays an essential role in cation transportation and SCNN1g is a member of this gene family. The objective of this study was to estimate the frequency of SCNN1g gene var...

a novel rice-husk-silica supported n-propyl bipyridinium chloride (rhprbpcl) has been prepared. due to the basicity of rhprbpcl, it was decided to evaluate its catalytic activity in the one-pot preparation of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyran, dihydropyrano[3,2-c]chromene and dihydropyrano[4,3-b]pyran derivatives. the catalyst was characterized by ft-ir, sem and tga analyses. this methodology offers seve...

Nano-silica supported boron trifluoride (BF3.SiO2) is an efficient, reusable and eco-friendly catalyst for chemoselective thioacetalization of aldehydes and ketones. So, this catalyst was applied for transthioacetalization of acetals and acylals into their corresponding 1,3-dithiolanes or 1,3-dithianes  in good to excellent yields. The reactions were carried out at room temperature under solven...

Biodiesel is considered to be more friendly the environment than petroleum-based fuels, cheaper and capable for producing greener energy which contributed positively in boosting bio-economy. In this work, waste cooking oil (WCO) converted into biodiesel utilizing a eggshell (CaO) nano-catalyst an effort discover environmentally beneficial economically viable processes social economic developmen...

Abstract The production of biodiesel from dairy effluent scum using calcined egg shell as the transesterification catalyst has been explored. Eggshell powder was at 900 °C for 3 h and used catalyst. influence methanol-oil molar ratio, concentration reaction temperature were studied Response Surface Methodology employing a Central Composite Rotatable Design. An empirical model that relates yield...

Hierarchical nanostructured spherical carbon with hollow macroporous core in combination with mesoporous shell has been explored to support Pt cathode catalyst with high metal loading in proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). The hollow core-mesoporous shell carbon (HCMSC) has unique structural characteristics such as large specific surface area and mesoporous volume, ensuring uniform disp...

in this paper, 4,4ʹ-bipyridinium dichloride  supported sba-15 (sba@bipy2+ 2cl-) was used for the synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones. the synthesized catalyst was characterized by ft-ir spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electron microscopy (tem) and thermogravimetric analysis (tga). this nanocomposite was shown to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthes...

Eggshell mechanical property traits such as eggshell breaking strength (ESS), eggshell thickness (EST) and eggshell weight (ESW) are most common and important indexes to evaluate eggshell quality in poultry industry. Uterine ion transporters involve in eggshell formation and might be associated with eggshell mechanical property traits. In this study, 99 SNPs in 15 ion transport genes were selec...

FT-Raman spectroscopy and ATR-IR spectroscopy were applied to study the secondary structure of the eggshell (chorion) proteins of the teleostean fish Dentex dentex. Raman and IR spectra clearly indicate an abundance of antiparallel beta-pleated sheet conformation in chorion proteins. This finding is further supported by analysis of the vibrational data by regression techniques and deconvolution...
