Conversion of crude glycerol from the biodiesel industry to value added products
(2017)
Crude glycerol is a major by-product of the biodiesel industries. For every 100 kg of biodiesel produced, approximately 10 kg of the byproduct glycerol is generated. With the large increase in biodiesel production, there ...
Hydrogen sulfide modulates gluconeogenesis and mitochondrial biogenesis in mouse primary hepatocytes
(2016)
Among many endogenous substances that regulate hepatic energy production is the gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S). In the liver, H2S production is largely catalyzed by cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) and, to a lesser ...
Exploration of inflammasomes as targets for therapy of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection
(2018)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common Gram-negative opportunistic bacterial
pathogen capable of infecting humans with compromised natural defenses and causing
severe pulmonary disease. It is the major cause of severe chronic ...
Lignin-based flocculant and dispersant for wastewater treatment
(2018)
The wastewaters produced from different industries contain fine and charged suspended particles and other impurities. Today, the removal of these colloidal particles from the wastewater has become a serious challenge for ...
Kinetic and thermodynamic studies on pyrolysis of waste HDPE polymers
(2017)
Pyrolysis is a promising technology for converting waste plastic into high-value hydrocarbons,
which can help to protect the environment and improve the waste management industry. Available
methods for finding kinetic ...
New generation of dispersants by grafting lignin or xylan
(2017)
Synthetic dispersants are commonly used in the stabilization of various colloidal suspensions. However, their non-biodegradable and toxic natures hamper their industrial use. The use of natural polymers as dispersants for ...
Bioconversion of crude glycerol to biofuels and value-added bioproducts
(2017)
Increasing demand and the rising cost of fossil fuels, as well as a concern for global climate change have shifted global efforts to utilize renewable resources for the production of a ‘greener’ energy replacement. Biodiesel, ...
Cardiac oxidative stress and antioxidant status in response to radiation and monocrotaline induced cardiac dysfunction
(2016)
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Oxidative stress has been implicated in many types of cardiovascular disease. Chronic cardiac stress conditions have been shown to be associated ...
Nanomaterials based electrochemical approaches for biosensing and bacterial disinfection
(2017)
Electrochemical approaches to myriad medical and environmental challenges are highly
attractive due to their strong potential for extensive and green applications. Point of care
diagnostics through the electrochemical ...
Engineering fungi for boosting cellulase production and its potential industrial application
(2013-02-03)
Bioconversion of lignocellulosic residues is initiated primarily by microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria which are capable of degrading lignocellulolytic materials. Fungi produce large amounts of extracellular ...
