ZZE-Configuration of chromophore ß-153 in C-phycocyanin from Mastigocladus laminosus [PDF]
, 1987 The photochemistry of C-phycocyanin has been studied after denaturation in the dark. It shows an irreversible reaction which has characteristics of a Ζ,Ζ,Ε- to Z,Z,Z-isomerization of dihydrobilins. Its amplitude depends on the reaction conditions, with

Analysis of n-alkanes in the cuticular wax of leaves of Ficus glomerata Roxb. [PDF]
, 2013 Leaf cuticle was covered by epicuticular wax consisting mainly of straight chain aliphatic hydrocarbons with a variety of substituted groups. The studies of cuticular characters of leaves had played an important role in chemotaxonomy. An n-hexane extract

The influence of surface energy on the self-cleaning of insect adhesive devices [PDF]
, 2012 The ability of insects to adhere to surfaces is facilitated by the use of adhesive organs found on the terminal leg segments. These adhesive pads are inherently 'tacky' and are expected to be subject to contamination by particulates, leading to loss of ...

Effect of age and physical activity on oxidative stress parameters in experimental rat model [PDF]
, 2015 Studies have suggested that regular physical exercise has beneficial effects on the brain by modulating the oxidative stress. There is little information regarding whether swimming exercise could attenuate oxidative stress in the brain.
