Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of Solar Radiation in High Energy Intensive of the World by PV SystemU. Ali RahomaSolar energy can be converted directly into electricity by means of solar cells. Solar cells currently cost around $3.50 per watt for crystalline cells and $2 per watt for thin-film wafers, which are less efficient but can be integrated into building materials. Industry analysts note that between 2000 and 2005, each doubling of cumulative production resulted in a price drop … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 9,680 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiosorption of Cr(III) by Microalgae and Macroalgae: Equilibrium of the ProcessIzabela Michalak, Agnieszka Zielinska, Katarzyna Chojnacka, Jan MatulaEquilibrium experiments of chromium(III) biosorption by microalga (Spirulina sp.) and macroalga (Pithophora varia) were investigated in this paper. Influence of the following process parameters was studied: pH, biomass concentration and temperature. The equilibrium of the process was described with Langmuir equation. The model parameters were determined at various process conditions. The best operation conditions for the process were selected: pH … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,204 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFunctional Characterization of Neutrophils from Nine-Banded Armadillos (Dasypus novemcicntus; Edentata, Dasypodidae) Infected with MicrofilariaeMarcela López-Hurtado, Fernando M. Guerra-InfanteThe neutrophils from uninfected armadillos have adequate phagocytic and bacteriocidal activity, but diminished chemotactic activity. However, endocytic activity from armadillo neutrophils infected with bacteria, parasites or viruses is unknown. This report shows that neutrophils from armadillos infected with microfilariae displayed deficiencies in their bacteriocidal mechanisms and TNF-like production, but not in their endocytic capacity. …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,659 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn vitro Effects of Beet Root Juice on Stimulated and Unstimulated Peripheral Blood Mononuclear CellsChristiana Winkler, Barbara Wirleitner, Katharina Schroecksnadel et al.Intake of fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants is suggested to reduce the incidence of cancer and coronary heart disease in humans. Exceptional antioxidant activity of beet root extracts has been reported. Likewise in animal models, e.g., extracts of red beetroot Beta vulgaris var. rubra revealed significant tumor inhibitory effects. Red beetroot concentrate is universally permitted as a food ingredient. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 9,522 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtracts of Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) Seeds Suppress Stimulated Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells in vitroChristiana Winkler, Barbara Wirleitner, Katharaina Schroecksnadel et al.In the traditional medicine in North America and Mexico, pumpkin seeds have been used as an anthelmintic agent and for supportive treatment in functional disorders of the bladder. Also anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective activity of pumpkin seeds is discussed. Three different extracts of pumpkin seeds were prepared and effects were investigated in unstimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and in cells … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 10,711 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordImproved Compost Production from Fruit and Vegetable Market Waste: A Case Study in Bagua, Amazonas (Peru)Juan Eduardo Suarez Rivadeneira, Freddy A. Manayay, Wilfredo Ruiz Camacho, Juan Francisco Robles RuizInadequate management of organic solid waste in municipal markets represents a critical environmental challenge in tropical developing regions, where high humidity (>80%) and elevated temperatures (>25°C) accelerate decomposition, generating leachate and greenhouse gas emissions. In Peru, over 50% of municipal waste is organic, yet less than 20% is valorised through composting, highlighting a substantial technological gap. This study evaluated an … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 11 Aug 2026 · 1,262 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordUltrasound-Assisted Enzymatic Extraction of Polysaccharides from Waste Corn Bract: Process Optimization, Characterization, Antioxidant and Anti-Diabetic PotentialsYihui Liu, Yayi Li, Na Niu et al.Corn bract is the main agricultural waste of corn production and processing. Little information is focused on its value-added utilization. In the present study, the Ultrasound-Assisted Enzymatic Extraction (UAEE) was used for the first time to extract Corn Bract Polysaccharides (CBPs). The optimum conditions of UAEE for CBPs extraction were: Cellulase amount of 0.7%, enzymolysis for 58 min, and ultrasound … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 28 Jun 2022 · 6,126 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOptimization of Hydrolysis Conditions for the Production of Iron-Binding Peptides from Scad (Decapterus maruadsi) Processing ByproductsWenting Zhang, Yanan Li, Jie Zhang, Guangrong HuangThe scad (Decapterus maruadsi) processing byproduct (SPB) was hydrolyzed by four commercial enzymes, namely, trypsin, flavourzyme, protamex and alcalase, for preparing high Iron-Binding Capacity (IBC) hydrolysate. Alcalase was the best choice for obtaining high IBC hydrolysate from SPB. Response surface methodology using a central-composite design was employed to optimize the enzymatic hydrolysis conditions with alcalase to obtain a maximum hydrolysate … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 17 Oct 2016 · 7,589 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Time of Flooding Occurrence is Critical for Yield Production in Rice and Vary in a Genotype-Dependent MannerJenjira Mongon, Arom Jantasorn, Prateep Oupkaew et al.Flash floods occur in rainfed lowland and flood-prone areas and have a profound incidence on crop yield, which is tightly linked to worldwide food insecurity. The most flooding-threatened crop is rice. Under this condition, rice undergoes anoxic and post-anoxic shock that affects its growth, development capacity and ultimately causes an important grain yield loss. Therefore, the introduction of submergence-tolerant varieties … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2017 · 8,093 accessesView PDF Cite
