Long-chain branched polypropylenes were synthesized from a maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PPg). Different levels of branching were generated by reactive processing using four chain-linking agents: glycerol, ...

We analyse the value of process flexibility in the context of a short-term deterministic lot sizing problem with backlogging, where several types of products can be made on several alternative resources. It may be very ...

In rat seminiferous tubules (ST), cells that contain polar and neutral lipids with long-chain polyenoic fatty acids (PUFA) and sphingomyelins (SM) and ceramides (Cer) with very long chain (VLC) PUFA of the n-6 series ...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear receptors that function as ligand-dependent transcription factors that can be activated by different types of fatty acids (FAs). Three isoforms of PPARs have ...

For a batch emulsion polymerization of isoprene at 10 °C in the presence of a chain transfer agent, a previous mathematical model [Minari et al., J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2010, 116, 590] was extended for predicting the molecular ...

Long-chain and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with antibiotic activity were isolated from the culture of the fungus Cladosporium sp., obtained from an intertidal marine sediment. The structures were determined by spectroscopical ...

A numerically efficient transfer matrix approach is used to investigate the validity of the Tsallis scaling hypothesis in the long-range Ising spin chain with competitive interactions. In this model, the interaction between ...

Background: While there is a large body of data on the effects of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation of infant formula on visual and cognitive maturation during infancy, longterm visual and cognitive ...

As long-chain alcohol dehydrogenases are not easily available and seldom reported enzymes, it is worthwhile to appraise the potential of well known dehydrogenases, like horse liver alcohol dehydrogenases (HLAD), for the ...
