Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesMechanism of Mulberry's Effect on Intestinal Flora and MotilityHuizhen Zhao, Shijing Xie, Yuwen Li et al.Studies have indicated that mulberry consumption promotes intestinal motility and alleviates constipation, but the specific mechanism remains unclear. This study adopted a constipation mouse model to empirically analyze the effects of mulberry on intestinal motility, gut microbiota composition, and neurotransmitter levels, aiming to elucidate its mechanism of action. Key findings are as follows: 1) Compared with the model group, the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 2 Jul 2026 · 1,189 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesPreparation and Properties Study of PCM@ECD BilayerYan Zhao, Heng Zhang, Yanfei Zhao et al.This study reports the fabrication of a core-shell active bilayer membrane (PCM@ECD) via a combined tape-casting and layer-transfer methodology. The inner core layer comprised Pectin-Chitosan (PC) microcapsules, synthesized by complex coacervation, encapsulating Orange Peel Essential Oil (OPEOM) with an embedding efficiency of 83.08%. The outer shell layer consisted of Ethyl Cellulose (EC) doped with zinc-doped carbon dots (Zn-CDs, average size: … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 8 May 2026 · 1,600 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesProducing Functional Fatty Acid DHA from Corn Steep Liquor by Aurantiochytrium SW1Xiaojie Ren, Qi Yan, Baoyue Liu et al.Thraustochytrium has a relatively high lipid content in the cell and its lipid content can account up to 70% of the dry cell weight. It is an important raw material for the third-generation biodiesel production and the production of functional fatty acid Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). However, the high cost of traditional fermentation medium has hindered the industrial production of lipid. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 20 Nov 2021 · 6,323 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEffects of Nitrogen Source on the Lipid Accumulation in Phaeodactylum TricornutumXiaojie Ren, Qi Yan, Song Li et al.Nitrogen source has an important influence on the growth and lipid synthesis of Phaeodactylum tricornutum. It affects lipid accumulation through global metabolic regulation. However, little research has been done on the correlation between other metabolites and lipid metabolism during the synthesis of Phaeodactylum tricornutum. In this study, we studied the effect of different nitrogen sources on lipid and other major … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 27 Jul 2020 · 6,913 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesLow-Homology Protein Structural Class Prediction from Secondary Structure Based on Visibility and Horizontal Visibility NetworkZhi-Qin Zhao, Liang Luo, Xiao-Yan LiuIn this study, based on the predicted secondary structures of proteins, we propose a new approach to predict protein structural classes (α,β,α/β,α+β) for three widely used low-homology data sets. Fist, we obtain two time siries from the chaos game representation of each predicted secondary structure; second, based on two time series, we construct visibility and horizontal visibility network, respectively and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2018 · 9,668 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesNanoscale Pitch Standards Sample Fabricated using Laser-Focused Atomic DepositionYan Ma, Tongbao Li, Yajun Zhao et al.Problem statement: Nanotechnology is already a large sector of industry and science research and it is expected to continue to grow at very fast rate. The determination of absolute measurements of length at the nanometer scale and below is very difficult and expensive. So the nanoscale metrology standard is needed. Approach: The laser-focused atomic deposition is a new way to … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 3 Sep 2012 · 7,245 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesComparison of Approaches for Predicting Break Indices in Mandarin Speech SynthesisShao Yan-qiu, Zhao Yong-zhen, Han Ji-qing, Liu TingThis study adopts a large-scale corpus with five-tier break indices annotated according to C-TOBI. Based on it, several approaches, N-gram, Markov model and decision tree learning are applied to predict break indices automatically for unrestricted mandarin text. These approaches differ mutually not only in model, but also on features and even part-of-speech tag size. A deep comparison and analysis among … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,211 accessesView PDFCite
