Black Hole Starvation and Bulge Evolution in a Milky Way-like Galaxy [PDF]
, 2015 We present a new zoom-in hydrodynamical simulation, "Erisbh", which follows the cosmological evolution and feedback effects of a supermassive black hole at the center of a Milky Way-type galaxy.

Shelling out the genetics of peanut allergies [PDF]
Science, 2014 Plant Genomics![Figure][1] CREDIT: DERKIEN/ISTOCK PHOTO Peanut allergies are on the rise, but how did the genes that encode these allergens evolve? To find out, Ratnaparkhe et al. examined the genomes of the cultivated and wild peanut and compared them to other plants to determine how the major peanut allergens Arah1, Arah2, Arah3 , and the closely ...

Enhancing the d–Electrocatalytic Activity of MXene Through Defect Engineering
Carbon Energy, EarlyView.Applications of MXene. ABSTRACT Due to their versatile and tunable surface and bulk chemistry, MXenes have great potential as electrocatalysts for batteries and supercapacitors. When compared with other electrocatalytic processes, in electrocatalytic reactions, MXenes could improve ion diffusion and charge transfer by either providing functional groups

Strain-Specific Survival of Salmonella enterica in Peanut Oil, Peanut Shell, and Chia Seeds
Journal of Food Protection, 2016 In North America, outbreaks of Salmonella have been linked to low-water activity (aw) foods, such as nuts and seeds. These outbreaks have implicated an assortment of Salmonella serotypes. Some Salmonella serotypes (e.g., Enteritidis and Typhimurium) cause high proportions of salmonellosis.

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Research frontiers in using biochar for heavy metal remediation. Abstract Heavy metal contamination of water has long been a serious environmental issue. Biochar and biochar‐based composites are emerging as effective and sustainable solutions for heavy metal removal due to their strong adsorption abilities and environmentally friendly nature.

Stripe to spot transition in a plant root hair initiation model [PDF]
, 2015 A generalised Schnakenberg reaction-diffusion system with source and loss terms and a spatially dependent coefficient of the nonlinear term is studied both numerically and analytically in two spatial dimensions. The system has been proposed as a model of

Design of an Automated Powered Peanut Shelling Machine [PDF]
Proceedings of the EAI International Conference for Research, Innovation and Development for Africa, 2018 Groundnut is predominantly grown by communal farmers in Zimbabwe. The price of shelled kernel is approximately double that of pod. Hand shelling of peanuts is a time consuming and laborious process which is mostly used in the remote areas in Zimbabwe. Manual shelling of peanuts using “Manual Sheller’s†has been adopted to reduce the time invested

Glycerol carbonate formation from glycerol and dimethyl carbonate using lithium‐based catalysts
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Excess glycerol from biodiesel production can be sustainably converted into value‐added products like glycerol carbonate, for its use in polymers, solvents, and as ecofriendly alternative as green chemical in various chemical industries. This study aims to synthesize a catalyst optimized for the glycerol and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) conversion
