Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsObserved Abrupt Changes in Minimum and Maximum Temperatures in Jordan in the 20th CenturyMahmoud M. SmadiThis study examines changes in annual and seasonal mean (minimum and maximum) temperatures variations in Jordan during the 20th century. The analyses focus on the time series records at the Amman Airport Meteorological (AAM) station. The occurrence of abrupt changes and trends were examined using cumulative sum charts (CUSUM) and bootstrapping and the Mann-Kendall rank test. Statistically significant abrupt changes … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,925 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatistical Modeling of Temperature Extremes Behaviour in GhanaTwumasi-Ankrah Sampson, Nyantakyi Agyei KwadwoThis paper focuses on modeling the extreme maximum temperature in Ghana using the extreme value theory. This is to inform decision-makers to help them plan appropriate risk mitigating measures to reduce the damage caused by drought. The block maxima with Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) and the General Pareto (GP) (with “all excesses” and decluster peaks) were used on 113 years … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 10 Jan 2019 · 7,117 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScreening of Yeast Strains for Pectinolytic Activity: Effects of Different Carbon and Nitrogen Sources in Submerged FermentationsMustafa Oskay, Hüsniye Tansel YalçinTwenty yeast strains were screened for pectinolytic activity, among the strains, only nine were positive for pectinase production. The best strain was Kluyveromyces marxianus NRRL-Y-1109 which gave high quantities of pectinase activity, by submerged fermentation. Different parameters such as incubation time, pH (3.5-7), temperature (20-45°C), nitrogen and carbon source, were optimized. The optimal incubation time, temperature and pH for pectinase … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 22 Jun 2015 · 7,812 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Process Conditions for the Production of Holocellulase by a Bacillus Species Isolated from Nahoon Beach SedimentsEvelyn N. Fatokun, Uchechukwu U. Nwodo, Ademola O. Olaniran, Anthony I. OkohProduction of holocellulase by a newly isolated marine Bacillus species via submerged fermentation technique at varying cultivation conditions was investigated. Enzyme production was optimized by altering one variable per time. Moreover effect of lignocellulosic saccharides in inducing cellulase and xylanase production was also investigated. The 16S ribosomal Deoxyribonucleic Acid (16S rDNA) gene sequence analysis exhibited 98% sequence similarity of the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 8 Apr 2017 · 8,029 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMICROWAVE-ASSISTED EXTRACTION OF PHENOLIC ANTIOXIDANTS FROM SEMIARID PLANTSJorge E. Wong-Paz, Juan C. Contreras-Esquivel, Diana Muñiz-Marquez et al.Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) kinetic in three temperatures was investigated for extraction of antioxidant phenolic compounds from Jatropha dioica, Flourensia cernua, Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Turnera diffusa which are plants of semiarid regions of Mexico. The two-site kinetic model and saturation simple equation were used to describe the experimental data. The fit of the data demonstrated that saturation simple equation was better … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 22 Mar 2014 · 7,609 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Analysis of Performance in Elite Young Cross-Country Skiing: Classical Style Vs Skate SkiingFrancisco P.D. la Fuente, Carlos C. Otin, Luis M. Benito et al.Problem statement: The aim of this study was to assess the differences in the skiing performance of two skiing styles (classical style Vs. skate skiing), in a group of young high-level skiers. Approach: Four high-level male junior cross-country skiers from the Centre of Winter Sports of Aragon (Spain), were selected for this study that was developed during two competitions: 10 … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 14 Sep 2011 · 8,820 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCytotoxic and Antimicrobial Potential of Actinomycete Species Saccharopolyspora salina VITSDK4 Isolated from the Bay of Bengal Coast of IndiaK. Suthindhiran, K. KannabiranProblem statement: Although the diversity of marine Actinobacteria have been studied and biotechnologically exploited throughout the world, the studies on marine actinobacteria in Indian peninsula are largely unexplored. Of 9 maritime states in India, only 4 states have been extensively studied for the diversity of actinobacteria. Further, the studies on bioactive actinomycetes from saline soil are very scanty. In the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 11,440 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIntracellular L-Asparaginase from Bacillus sp. PG02: Purification, Biochemical Characterization and Evaluation of Optimum pH and TemperatureFatemeh Izadpanah Qeshmi, Mahsa Rahimzadeh, Sedigheh Javadpour, Manijeh PoodatBacterial L-asparaginases are amidohydrolases that act on L-asparagine and produce L-aspartate and ammonia. These enzymes have been used in treatment of lymphoblastic leukemia. In the present study, a novel strain, Bacillus sp. PG02 was explored for the production of intra-cellular L-asparaginase enzyme. The nitrogen source for L-asparaginase production was L-asparagine. New intracellular L-asparaginase was purified using ion exchange chromatography and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 26 Nov 2015 · 7,480 accessesView PDF Cite
