Bioacetylation of seaweed alginate [PDF]
Seaweed alginate was acetylated by intact, resting cells of Pseudomonas syringae ATCC 19304. Maximum acetylation of this polymer occurred at a pH of 6.0 and a temperature of 25 deg C. Aeration and gluconic acid were required for an optimal reaction. A reactor which contained carbon-immobilized cells was constructed to continuously acetylate alginate ...

Magnetization Enhancement in Magnetite Nanoparticles Capped with Alginic Acid [PDF]
We report on the effect of organic acid capping on the behavior of magnetite nanoparticles. The nanoparticles of magnetite were obtained using microwave activated process, and the magnetic properties as well as the electron magnetic resonance behavior were studied for the Fe3O4 nanoparticles capped with alginic acid.

A combination of SEM and EDX studies on a clay-based natural composite with animal fibre and its mechanical implications [PDF]
A variety of natural fibres are nowadays being utilized as soil reinforcement. Test results demonstrate the positive effects of adding natural fibres to soils, in that they decrease shrinkage, reduce curing time and enhance compressive, flexural and ...

The Role of the Mucus Barrier in Digestion [PDF]
Mucus forms a protective layer across a variety of epithelial surfaces. In the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, the barrier has to permit the uptake of nutrients, while excluding potential hazards, such as pathogenic bacteria.

Effective approach for taking into account interactions of quasiparticles from the low-temperature behavior of a deformed fermion-gas model [PDF]
A deformed fermion gas model aimed at taking into account thermal and electronic properties of quasiparticle systems is devised. The model is constructed by the fermionic Fibonacci oscillators whose spectrum is given by a generalized Fibonacci sequence. We first introduce some new properties concerning the Fibonacci calculus.
