Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEvaluating Plant Species Suitability for a Substrate-Free Tropical Green RoofBruno R. Silva, André Mantovani, Dulce G. Mantuano et al.Greenroofs reduce building exterior-interior thermal flux and mitigate high internal air temperatures, especially in tropical climates. Tropical greenroofs are given little attention and their use remains restricted to a very low percentage of roofs due to high costs compared to traditional roofs, weight overload (mainly due to the chosen substrate) and potential waterproofing problems. We here present an alternative greenroof … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 11 Oct 2018 · 7,523 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancement of Geobacillus thermodenitrificans Lipase Activity and Binding Affinity by Acetone Treatment: Kinetic and in silico InvestigationsAmmar Khazaal Kadhim Almansoori, Alyaa Abdulhussein Alsaedi et al.Lipase Geobacillus thermodenitrificans (LipGt) is a thermostable enzyme that has an optimal activity temperature of 65°C. It can tolerate various organic solvents and has an improved activity, especially in the presence of acetone. In this study, in-vitro and in-silico studies were carried out to investigate the effect of acetone in enhancing the kinetic and binding affinity of LipGt. The LipGt … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 10 Oct 2024 · 4,817 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Rotation Effect on Shear Horizontal Surface Wave in a Piezoelectric Semi-Space Covered by a Semiconductor FilmFatimah AlshaikhIn this study, a mathematical model of the rotation effect on Shear Horizontally wave (SH-wave) propagation in a piezoelectric semi-space covered by a semiconductor film is investigated. The semiconducting layer is rotating with a constant angular velocity and the interface between the piezoelectric substrate and the semiconductor layer is imperfectly bonded. Furthermore, the surfaces of the bilayer system assumed free … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 29 Apr 2017 · 7,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLIPASE-CATALYZED TRANSESTERIFICATION OF PALM KERNEL OIL WITH DIALKYLCARBONATESTjahjono Herawan, M. Rüsch Gen. KlaasLipase-catalyzed transesterifications-especially in a solvent-free medium-are important for industrial applications because such systems would have an enormous advantage by avoiding the problem of separation, toxicity and flammability of organic solvents. However, the organic solvent-free alcoholysis, especially methanolysis, does not give high conversions. The same problem also occurs when ethyl or methyl acetate are used as acyl acceptors. The main problems … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 6 May 2014 · 6,793 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiochemical Studies of Lipase from Germinating Oil Seeds (Glycine max)P. P. Gadge, S. D. Madhikar, J. N. Yewle et al.Problem statement: Lipase is one of the important enzymes in food, pharmaceutical, detergent and biofuels industries. Search for the lipase with distinct features, possibly from germinating seeds, is of interest for industrial applications. Approach: The lipase produced by soybean oil seeds was partially purified and characterized in terms of the optimal pH and temperature for activity as well as substrate … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 19 Jan 2012 · 9,703 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn in vitro Assessment on the Efficacy of Clay-Based Formulated Cells of Pseudomonas Isolate UTAR EPA2 for Petrol DegradationA. S.Y. Ting, M. T. Fang, C. S. TeeProblem statement: Application of free-cell forms is usually impractical to achieve satisfactory bioremediative effect because the microbes are encumbered by the biotic and abiotic stresses from the environment. Approach: In this study, a hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium (Pseudomonas isolate UTAR EPA2) was formulated with various combinations of formulative materials, comprising of clay-based carrier materials such as Bentonite (B) and Kaolin (K), enrichment … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Aug 2010 · 7,650 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDoes Trichomes on the Plant Epidermic Surface Disturb Ants Locomotion?Danon Clemes Cardoso, Maykon Passos Cristiano, Lenise Cristina Moraes Vilela, Tiago de Arruda MartinsProblem Statement: Many morphological characteristics, both physical and chemical, are used in the defense against herbivores on plants. Trichomes are structures used by plants as physics defense and when associated with glands combine physics and chemistry defense. Many species of ants are herbivores and use leaves and seeds, others ants use Extra Floral Nectars as a food resource, and the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,350 accessesView PDFCite
