Selection Of

Human activities are contributing to Global Climate Change through the production of Green House Gases (GHG), which result in increased air, land and ocean temperatures and extreme changes in precipitation in regions of low and high rainfall. The most important GHG's are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). It is estimated that 18 % of the annual GHG emissions come from different types of livestock and that 37% of CH4, with higher global warming potential (23) relative to CO2 (1), comes from fermentation processes in ruminants. It is possible that in the future beef and milk exports from producing countries is subject to bans if cattle systems do not comply with measures to reduce GHG. There are several alternatives available and being researched to reduce enteric CH4 emissions from cattle that range from manipulating diet composition, supplementing feed additives (i.e. ionophores, organic acids, halogenated compounds, oils) and selection of forage plants of high quality and containing secondary metabolites (i.e. tannins and saponins) to animal breeding, immunization and genetic transformation of rumen microorganisms. Results show that inhibition of enteric CH4 emission is possible through the use of ionophores, organic acids and oils. The use of ionophores can result in resistance of rumen microbes and as a result the effect is short term. The high cost of organic acids makes it unlikely that there direct supplementation in ruminant diets is economically viable. However, organic acids are present at relatively high concentrations in the leaf tissue of plants and attempts should be made to select and breed forages with higher levels of these compounds. It is argued that a more efficient strategy to reduce enteric CH4 in ruminants is through selection of grasses of high quality (i.e. high concentration of water soluble carbohydrates), of forage legumes containing secondary metabolites like tannins and of fruits/plants containing saponins, provided that they do not affect intake and digestibility. Improved nutrition of cattle through feeding high quality forages can result in high animal performance and in reductions of CH4 emitted per unit of dry matter intake and per unit of product.

The oil content of brown and white acha seeds was extracted and characterized using the AOAC procedure. Consumption of these grains by people with health-related diseases necessitated this study to authenticate its nutritional values. The physicochemical characterization revealed the two oils to have low oil yields of high quality. Biochemical profiling of the seeds showed that both oils have high concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins A and E and other minor constituents. These results indicate that brown and white acha seeds are excellent sources of healthy nutrients to humans.

The growth kinetics of SiC crystals doped with Al and Ga impurities and grown by the sublimation sandwich method at a small spacing between the source and the seed (<1 mm) has been studied. Dependence of an Al-doped SiC crystals growth rate on the clearance is shown to be non-monotonic and exhibits maximum at the clearance about of 100-300 μm. Such dependence is also observed for growth of pure and Ga-doped SiC crystals but only on (0001)Si face. The derived dependencies suggest that there are some considerable kinetic limitations of the SiC growth rate. High quality SiC crystals with such high concentration of the Al impurity as 2x1021 cm-3 were grown.

Genomic DNA extraction from forestry tree species require young leaf samples to obtain high-quality DNA for molecular based study. For some study, leaf samples must be collected from remote areas and are difficult to transport long distances. We developed alternative method of DNA extraction from inner bark of Cedrus deodara. We used 2.5% PVP for removal of phenolic compound and apply high concentration of sodium chloride to removes polysaccharides. Extracted DNA gives positive amplification with PCR using random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers.

Abstract Atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), together with their polymorphism, provide promising alternatives for next generation electronic devices and a platform to explore exotic quantum phenomena. However, a large-scale synthesis method that can reliably produce high-quality two-dimensional (2D) TMDs with controlled phase is still lacking. Instead, TMDs with high concentration of defects and defect-stabilized metastable crystalline phases are often obtained via conventional chemical vapor deposition. Here we developed a liquid-vapor (LV) technique to exploit liquid precursors to significantly suppress the equilibrium shift to the decomposition direction and successfully synthesized high-quality TMDs. We highlight the importance of exploiting the synergism of equilibrium and kinetics to facilitate the synthesis reaction (forward) and to impede decomposition (reverse). A high concentration of reactants in the liquid phase also maximizes the kinetic rate of defect repairing. We demonstrated the advantages of LV method by synthesizing diverse high-quality 2D metal tellurides with controllable polymorphs, which would be challenging, if not impossible, to realize by using conventional methods due to weak metal-tellurium bonds, thermal instability and the co-existence of mixed crystalline phases. In particular, we successfully synthesized high-quality monolayer 2H MoTe2, which is only possible when Te defect level is substantially suppressed. Our approach provides a new paradigm in high-quality and large-scale materials synthesis and can be readily extended to a variety of quantum materials, potentially accelerating both research and industrial initiatives.

Osmotic Activity

It is established that very few modern high-quality drugs in the dosage form "Solution for injection" have isoosmotic activity in the range of 280-300 mosmol/l of water. The main part of solutions for injection is hypotonic or hypertonic solutions, which can have osmotic activity in the range of 0 - 4000 mosmol/l of water. The reason for this was that the osmotic activity of drugs is not included in the list of controlled indicators of drugs quality, so it is not subject to control. It is shown that the osmotic activity of drug solutions increases with an increase in the total concentration of all dissolved ingredients present in the solution.  It was found that an excessively high concentration of the drug in the solution gives it an excessively large hyperosmotic activity, which can cause a local irritant and cauterizing effect at the injection sites due to dehydration of the cells. Therefore, to exclude post-injection abscesses, it is proposed to dilute the hypertonic drug with water for injection until it is given isotonic activity.
