a solid state fermentation method was developed for the production of citric acid from date pulp (obtained of date syrup production from the process) by aspergillus niger ptcc 5010. poor yield was obtained when potassium ferrocyanide treated date pulp were used as substrate, but methanol at a 3-4% concentration markedly increased the forma-tion of citric acid from the waste. the optimum range o...

Studies of soluble small-molecule semiconductors based on pentacene and anthradithiophene chromophores have generally shown that molecules with strong two-dimensional solid-state interactions yield high-performance thin-film transistors, while similar compounds with onedimensional solid-state interactions form thin-film devices with significantly worse performance. As a further exploration of t...

A real time based computer-aided design breast cancer detection and decision supporting system is presented in this paper. The first objective is to develop an accurate detection system with real time database and biopsy result feedback. The second objective is to create a web-based real time clinical decision support system in order to provide a more accurate and efficient diagnosis platform. ...

production of thermostable alkaline protease in tray bioreactor for solid state fermentation is a unique process which may lead to an economical approach for production of enzyme from agricultural waste or low cost substrate. in solid state fermentation using tray bioreactor, several agricultural residues such as rice bran, sugarcane bagasse, wheat bran, barely bran, corn meal and corn husk wer...

introdouction: dentinal hypersensitivity (dh) is one of the most painful chronic problems reported in dental offices. various methods have been applied for the treatment of dh. however, majority of them are either ineffective or last for a short period of time. it has been reported that lasers, particularly neodymium- doped: yttrium aluminum garnet laser (nd: yag), can be helpful in the treatme...

background: a substantial part of the public’s natural radiation dose is due to the inhalation of radon gas. most of the exposure occurs indoors where the airborne concentration of radon and its decay products is usually higher than outdoors. materials and methods: radon activity concentration has been measured twice in 50 classrooms in 5 levels (10 each) during summer and winter using solid-st...

Cobalt-manganese-nickel oxalates micropolyhedrons were successfully fabricated by a room temperature chemical co-precipitation method. Interestingly, the Co0.5Mn0.4Ni0.1C2O4*nH2O micropolyhedrons and graphene nanosheets have been successfully applied as the positive and negative electrode materials (a battery type Faradaic electrode and a capacitive electrode, respectively) for flexible solid-s...

The present work aimed to evaluate capability of a new molecular structure to stabilize polyethylene against thermal oxidation. Hence, effects of 3,3-bis(4-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-propan-2-ylphenyl)-2-benzofuran-1-one (thymolphthalein) on thermo-oxidative stability of high density polyethylene (HDPE) in both solid and melt states were investigated and compared with those of SONGNOX 1010, a comme...
