Hop (Humulus lupulus L.) is known for its use as a bittering agent in beer and has a rich history of cultivation, beginning in Europe and now spanning the globe. There are five wild varieties worldwide, which may have been introgressed with cultivated varieties. As a dioecious species, its obligate outcrossing, non-Mendelian inheritance, and…[Read more]

The permeability of the systems was correlated with blend morphology and dispersion of the nanoclay platelets in the polymer blend.In this study, new types of amphiphilic calix[4]arene derivatives bearing N-alkyl/aryl imidazolium/benzimidazolium fragments were designed and synthesized by two step transformation Regioselective Blanc…[Read more]

MotivationNeurodegenerative diseases (NDs), including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and Huntington’s disease, occur as a result of neurodegenerative processes. Thus, it has been increasingly appreciated that many neurodegenerative conditions overlap at multiple levels. However, traditional…[Read more]

An ion-pair HPLC method was developed and validated to analyze three of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Ketoprofen, Etoricoxib, and Diclofenac sodium) in their pure and pharmaceuticals based on their ionisable characteristics. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (Cetrimide) was used as an ion pair reagent since it had not been used before for…[Read more]

Tropomyosin (TM) is a highly conserved protein that considered as the major allergen of crustacean and mollusk species, while, fish-TM also shares high homology with low allergenicity. In this study, the amino acid sequence, B cell epitopes and allergenicity of shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), which is widely consumed, were evaluated by using…[Read more]

Neutron reflectivity (NR) measurements have been employed to study the interfacial structuring and composition of electroresponsive boundary layers formed by an ionic liquid (IL) lubricant at an electrified gold interface when dispersed in a polar solvent. The results reveal that both the composition and extent of the IL boundary layers…[Read more]

The net fitness of the community increased when all the three species were present, and thus, all of them were selected for further analysis. Moreover, APG4 seemed to be central in the reductive decolorization as it possessed the highest reductase activity. The dye degradation by the consortium was demonstrated by UV-Visible spectroscopy, HPTLC,…[Read more]

One common challenge highlighted in almost every review article on organic resistive memory is the lack of areal switching uniformity. This, in fact, is a puzzle because a molecular switching mechanism should ideally be isotropic and produce homogeneous current switching free from electroforming. Such a demonstration, however, remains elusive to…[Read more]
