Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSeller Concentration in the Grain Milling IndustryMartin Charumbira, Tafirenyika SundeProblem statement: The main purpose of the study was to explore the levels of concentration in Zimbabwe’s grain-milling industry during period 1985-2005. The study could not be extended to periods after 2005 because the situation in the country had become economically chaotic. Approach: The methodology adopted involved the calculation of the concentration indices such as the Herfindall-Hirschman index, Hannah and … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Vitamin D Deficiency on Cardio Metabolic Ageing in Middle Aged Adults in India: A Comparative AnalysisSumit Kumar, Adithi K, Shailaja S MoodithayaAdvancing age is accompanied by a gradual deterioration in physiological function, resulting in an increased risk of chronic diseases and early mortality. Growing evidence suggests that inadequate vitamin D status may be associated with unfavourable metabolic and cardiovascular alterations. Nevertheless, information regarding the association of vitamin D status with integrated cardio-metabolic biomarkers of ageing in middle-aged adults is currently limited. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 3 Sep 2026 · 732 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltrasonic Microwave Assisted Extraction, Chemical Characterization and Antioxidant Activity of Polysaccharides from Fig LeavesBaikangzhe Zheng, Yang Miao, Yi Zhou et al.This study employed ultrasonic-microwave-assisted extraction (UMAE) to isolate water-soluble polysaccharides from fig (Ficus carica L.) leaves (FLPs). Polysaccharide yield was used as the primary index to evaluate extraction efficiency. The effects of material-liquid ratio, microwave power, extraction temperature, and extraction time on polysaccharide yield were systematically investigated through single-factor experiments, followed by response surface methodology optimization. Structural characterization and antioxidant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 3 Mar 2026 · 1,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Exogenous Heavy Metal Pesticide Residues in Traditional Chinese Medicine Based on Fluorescent Carbon Quantum DotsYanan He, Shuyin WangThe analysis method based on fluorescent probes has received increasing attention due to its high sensitivity, fast response, and real-time visualization characteristics. Therefore, the application of fluorescent probes for rapid detection of heavy metal pesticide residues in traditional Chinese medicine is of great significance. This study innovatively synthesized B/N co-doped carbon quantum dots using 3-aminophenylboronic acid as the raw material, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 10 Apr 2026 · 1,610 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of Trichoderma viride Cellulase Enzyme Concentration on Saccharification of Waste Paper MaterialsKhomotso M. P. Mokatse, M. Alfred Mogale, J. Pieter H. Van WykEnzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials is one of the major steps in the commercialization process of converting cellulosic substrates into bio-products. The saccharification of lignocellulosic materials is usually achieved by a synergistic action of an enzyme mixture consisting of multiple cellulase enzymes such as endo-and exo-glucanase, cellobiohydrolase and β-glucosidase with different mode of actions. During the enzymatic hydrolysis of the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2021 · 6,456 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimized Biodiesel Production from jatropha curcas oilHaruna Musa, Daniel Eric, Alkhairu Hassan et al.In this study, a mathematical model for the trans-esterification reaction of jatropha curcas seed Oil (JCO) was developed using Response Surface Methodology(RSM) in terms of operational variables such as temperature (50 to 80°C), catalyst concentration (0.7 to 1% in relation to oil mass) and methanol/oil ratio (3:1-9:1), at fixed reaction time (90 min) and mixing intensity. Biodiesel was produced by … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 12 Oct 2021 · 7,286 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExogenous Progesterone for Offspring Sex Ratio Manipulation in Arabic Chickens (Gallus turcicus) Leading to Increasing Female Chicks ProportionIswati, Muhammad Halim Natsir, Gatot Ciptadi, Trinil SusilawatiFemale birds of egg-laying hens are more valuable than males, because males bird have no commercial value. The opportunity to manipulate offspring sex ratio in poultry has been observed in female birds; hence, female birds have heterogametic ZW chromosomes. High progesterone concentration 2-5 h before ovulation is thought to affect the segregation of female sex chromosomes as the basis for … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 17 Feb 2021 · 7,500 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Different Drying Methods on Antioxidant Activity of Polysaccharides from Antler MushroomBing Xu, Yi Dai, Shiyu Xu et al.In this study, three polysaccharides (AMP-H, AMP-V and AMP-F) were obtained from polysaccharides of Antler Mushroom (AMP) by hot air drying, vacuum drying and freeze drying, respectively. The chemical composition and antioxidant capacity of AMP-H, AMP-V and AMP-F were investigated. The results showed that the AMP was an acidic polysaccharide containing a small amount of protein. The drying method did … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 15 Jul 2021 · 7,243 accessesView PDFCite
