HYDROGEOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT FOR MINERAL EXPLORATION IN GHANA: A BRIEF OVERVIEW


Diallylthiosulfinate (Allicin), a Volatile Antimicrobial from Garlic (Allium sativum), Kills Human Lung Pathogenic Bacteria, Including MDR Strains, as a Vapor

Garlic (Allium sativum) has potent antimicrobial activity due to allicin Label Tapes (diallylthiosulfinate) synthesized by enzyme catalysis in damaged garlic tissues.Allicin gives crushed garlic its characteristic odor and its volatility makes it potentially useful for combating lung infections.Allicin was synthesized (>98% pure) by oxidation of

The increase of an allelopathic and unpalatable plant undermines reindeer pasture quality and current management in the Norwegian tundra

Abstract Ongoing Arctic greening can increase productivity and reindeer pasture quality in the tundra.However, greening may also entail proliferation of unpalatable species, with consequences for pastoral social-ecological systems.Here we show extensive greening across 20 reindeer districts in Norway between 2003 and 2020, which has reduced pasture

Development of a Genome-Scale Metabolic Model of Clostridium thermocellum and Its Applications for Integration of Multi-Omics Datasets and Computational Strain Design

Solving environmental and social challenges such as climate change requires a shift from our current non-renewable manufacturing model to a sustainable bioeconomy.To lower carbon emissions in the production of fuels and chemicals, plant biomass feedstocks can replace petroleum using microorganisms as biocatalysts.The anaerobic thermophile Clostridi

Research Progress of Biodegradable Polyester Polyols Based on Ring-Opening Polymerization of Cyclohexene Carbonate

The polycarbonate polyols(PCD) obtained by ring-opening polymerization of a general cyclic monomer is mostly a linear flexible structure, which is used as a raw material to synthesize polyurethanes, and it is difficult to simultaneously ensure good thermal-mechanical properties and weather resistance due to insufficient rigidity of the main Desktop
