Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDensity Functional Theory Based Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship Study of 2,5-Bis(1-Aziridinyl)-p-Benzoquinones with Lymphoid LeukemiaBahjat A. Saeed, Rita S. EliasProblem statement: QSAR techniques increase the probability of success and reduce time and coast in drug discovery process. The study presented QSAR investigation on 32 bioactive aziridinylbenzoquinones that have activity against lymphoid leukemia. Approach: Molecular descriptors, molecular weight, total energy, hardness, chemical potential, electrophilicity index, HOMO and LUMO energies were calculated. Initial geometry optimizations were carried out with the AM1 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFish Spoilage Mechanisms and Preservation Techniques: ReviewA. E. Ghaly, D. Dave, S. Budge, M. S. BrooksProblem statement: Spoilage of food products is due to chemical, enzymatic or microbial activities One-fourth of the world’s food supply and 30% of landed fish are lost through microbial activity alone. With the ever growing world population and the need to store and transport the food from one place to another where it is needed, food preservation becomes necessary in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 59,795 accessesView PDFCite
