In this study, the effects of methanol-to-oil molar ratio, catalyst amount and reaction time on the transesterification of waste cooking oil (WCO) to biodiesel were investigated. Methanol with calcium oxide as a heterogeneous catalyst was used for the transesterification process...
The present investigation was conducted to study the effects of different concentrations of picloram on somatic embryogenesis induction, development and maturation of three strawberry (Kurdistan, Paros and Camarosa) cultivars. For this purpose, leaf blade, nodal, petiole, stamen...

In Benin, the use of synthetic pesticides in vegetable production poses a risk to the environment and human health. Vegetables, water and soil quality assessment is very important for monitoring and mitigation of these risks. The evaluation of pesticide contamination of vegetable...
The present study investigated the role of soil pH adjustments in heavy metals concentrations in waste engine oil (WEO) - polluted soils. Sun-dried top soil (0-10cm) was measured into buckets. WEO was added to soil and mixed thoroughly to obtain similar concentrations of 2.5% w/w...
This work shows that the stochastic generalization of the quantum hydrodynamic analogy (QHA) has its corresponding stochastic Schrödinger equation (SSE) as similarly happens for the deterministic limit. The SSE owns an imaginary random noise that has a finite correlation distance...
The synthesis of 1-(5-(4-chlorophenyl)thiazol-2-yl)hydrazine hydrobromide was achieved in a single step by condensation of 2-bromo-1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethanone with thiosemicarbazide in absolute ethanol. The structure of the target compound was deduced by modern spectroscopic techn...
The modeling of gas yield with time for the biogas production from waste by-products of ethanol production process was studied. The wastes from the processing of four starch feedstock and from their fermentation wort were utilized for the biogas production studies. The wastes con...
Aim: To explore, in one patient, the possibility that D-bifunctional protein (D-BP) deficiency affects telomere length, and to determine the profile of genetic expression. Presentation of Case: Due to the symptoms of a newborn and his family background, a peroxisomal panel was pe...
