Article Synopsis
  • A new extraction method called NADES-UAE (natural deep eutectic solvent-based ultrasound-assisted extraction) was developed to extract camptothecin (CPT) and 10-hydroxycamptothecin (10-HCPT) from fruit powder.
  • This method achieved high yields of 1.31 mg of CPT and 1.66 mg of 10-HCPT per gram of fruit, using optimal conditions such as 20% water content and a 20-minute ultrasound time.
  • The research showed that the NADES3 solvent not only improved extraction efficiency compared to traditional solvents but could also be reused multiple times, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly option for extraction processes.

Dual carbon metabolisms and the synergism contribute to improving nutrient recovery under mixotrophy. However, how synergism influences nutrient recovery has yet to be understood, which is revealed in the current study. Due to dual carbon metabolisms and synergism,the PO-P recovery rate under mixotrophy reached 0.

The efficiency of mixotrophic microalgae in enhancing the recovery of waste nutrients has been well established; however, the recovery rate is crucial in meeting the needs of field applications. This study evaluated the impact of media characteristics on nutrient recovery under mixotrophic conditions. The mixotrophic N recovery rate with S.

Background: Strip crowns are the first treatment of choice for restoring anterior teeth affected with early childhood caries. However, shade matching of resin composites is still an issue. The broad color matching ability of a recently introduced single shade composite, Omnichroma eliminates the need for shade-matching procedure, reduces composite inventory, and minimizes chair-side time.

Most arachnid fertilization occurs internally, allowing for a variety of post-copulatory mechanisms to take place. Females are expected to exert some level of control over sperm fate when 1) the point of gametic fusion is particularly distant from the point of oogenesis, 2) the time of syngamy is significantly later than the time of mating, 3) sperm are non-motile, and/or 4) the morphology of females allows for selective containment of sperm. Many of these conditions are met in Opiliones (a.
