Menthol belongs to monoterpene class of a structurally diverse group of phytochemicals found in plant-derived essential oils.Menthol is widely used in pharmaceuticals, confectionary, oral hygiene products, pesticides, cosmetics, and as a flavoring Swivel Chair agent.In addition, menthol is known to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic
Dissecting the properties of circulating IgG against streptococcal pathogens through a combined systems antigenomics-serology workflow
Abstract This study showcases an integrative mass spectrometry-based strategy combining systems antigenomics and systems serology to characterize human antibodies in clinical samples.This strategy involves using antibodies circulating in plasma to affinity-enrich antigenic proteins in biochemically fractionated pools of bacterial proteins, followed
The Fate of Marine Bacterial Exopolysaccharide in Natural Marine Microbial Communities.
Most marine bacteria produce exopolysaccharides (EPS), and bacterial EPS represent an important source of dissolved organic carbon in marine ecosystems.It was proposed that bacterial EPS rich in uronic acid is resistant to mineralization by microbes and thus has a long residence time in global oceans.To confirm this hypothesis, bacterial EPS rich i
Experimental investigations on spontaneous combustion of pulverized coal in the oxyfuel combustion system
CCS (Carbon Dioxide Capture Area Rug and Storage) is one of the technologies able to adequately displace CO2 from fossil fuel fired power plants and the only technology capable of reducing large-scale emissions.In particular, coal emits a lot of CO2, although it is an important energy resource in terms of energy security.To address this situation,
Taxonomy of Scheduling Problems with Learning and Deterioration Effects
In traditional scheduling problems, job processing times are considered constant and known in advance.This assumption is, however, a simplification when it comes to hand-intensive real-life production contexts because workers usually induce variability in the job processing times due to several factors such as learning, monotony, fatigue, psycholog
