Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBioethanol Production from Rice StrawNutawan Yoswathana, Phattayawadee Phuriphipat, Pattranit Treyawutthiwat, Mohammad Naghi EshtiaghiProblem statement: Rice straw has been treated with different chemical (acid, alkali) and physical (subcritical water, ultrasound) methods to convert lignocellulose material to sugar. In addition enzyme treatment of pretreated samples has been applied to improve the conversion of lignocellulose material in sugar. Approach: Sulfuric acid at concentration of 1-9% was applied for acid treatment. For alkali treatment was sodium … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 18,056 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAvailability and Physical Properties of Residues from Major Agricultural Crops for Energy Conversion Through Thermochemical ProcessesYaning Zhang, A. E. Ghaly, Bingxi LiPlant residues from the major agricultural crops (wheat, rice, corn, soybean, sugarcane, coffee and cotton) are abundantly available renewable resources that can be used to supply energy through thermochemical conversion processes. The available amounts of plant residues from these crops and their physical properties (moisture content, particle size, bulk density and porosity) were determined. The annual residues from the wheat, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 4 Aug 2012 · 9,663 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluation of Sweet Sorghum Varieties for Bioethanol Production Under Dryland ConditionsIldar Bogapov, Marden Baidalin, Oksana Kibalnik, Saltanat BaidalinaThe objective of this study was to evaluate the productivity potential and theoretical bioethanol yield of 12 sweet sorghum genotypes under dryland conditions of Northern Kazakhstan during the 2024-2025 growing seasons using a quantitative experimental design. Significant varietal differences in agronomic traits were observed depending on meteorological conditions. In 2024, the highest theoretical bioethanol yield was achieved by Sevilya (1417 … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 16 Jul 2026 · 411 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPopulation of Vibrio Parahaemolyticus (Pathogen) and Bacillus (Beneficial Bacteria) in Penaeus Monodon (Fabricus, 1798) CultureV. Pattukumar, Maloy Kumar Sahu, M. Murugan et al.Problem statement: The present work was attempted to evaluate the probiotic activity of Bacillus spp. in shrimp health management. Approach: Penaeid culture ecosystem as a confined environment with huge inputs always encourages the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria like Vibrios. Results: From the present study and earlier reports it is understood that these pathogens alone or combine with virus especially White … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,486 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAlmond Consumption Decreases Fasting and Post Prandial Blood Glucose Level in Female Type 2 Diabetes SubjectParul Choudhary, Saroj Kothari, Vimal SharmaProblem statement: Population studies indicate that individuals who regularly consume nuts have reduced risk for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The beneficial role of almonds has been established with respect to serum lipid profile however, its beneficial effects on glycemia is still to be established. Aim of the study was to investigate the response of almond feeding on fasting and post … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,092 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHigh Concentrations of Glucose can Activate or Inhibit Human Erythrocyte Aminolevulinate Dehydratase in vitro Depending Exposure TimeJ. C. Soares, D. Gabriel, V. Folmer et al.Hyperglycemia can cause oxidative stress and inactivate susceptible enzymes. In the present investigation we examined whether short-term incubations (24 or 48 h) with high concentrations of glucose (10-200 mmol L-1) inhibit ALA-D from human erythrocytes. Incubations of erythrocytes for 24 h with glucose (10 up to 40 mmol L-1) resulted in an increase of δ-ALA-D activity (P<0,001). Incubations of erythrocytes … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,686 accessesView PDF Cite
