Pongamia pinnata, a tree bearing oil seeds, has been one of the prime focus among nonedible oil sources for biodiesel production in most parts of India.The oil cake obtained after the extraction of oil serves as an adequate source of cellulose, hemicellulose, proteins, lipids, and starch.The scarce literature data available suggest very low convers

Background and Aim: Camels are a unique source of milk and meat, which helps recover from several diseases that affect humans worldwide.In Egypt, one of the great obstacles for this industry is tick-borne diseases.This study aimed to characterize blood parasite infections, such as Babesia (B.) bovis and Trypanosoma (T.) spp.in one-humped camel (Cam

ABSTRACT Photoferrotrophy is a form of anoxygenic photosynthesis whereby bacteria utilize soluble or insoluble forms of ferrous iron as an electron donor to fix carbon dioxide using light energy.They can also use poised electrodes as their electron donor via phototrophic extracellular electron uptake (phototrophic EEU).The electron uptake mechanism

Uranium dioxide dissolution in nitric acid is a complex reaction.On the one hand, the dissolution produces nitrous oxides (NOX), which makes it a triphasic reaction.On the other hand, one of the products accelerates the kinetic rate; the reaction is hence called autocatalytic.The kinetics for these kinds of reactions need to be formalized in order
