Impact of Statistical Fluctuations on High Harmonic Generation in Liquids.

High harmonic generation (HHG) from gases and solids has been studied extensively. Whereas for liquids, it is far more challenging to understand the ultrafast dynamics with conventional methods. From a statistical perspective, we investigate the liquid-phase HHG theoretically by using a disordered linear chain.

Optimization and modeling for the synthesis of sterol esters from deodorizer distillate by lipase-catalyzed esterification.

In this paper, cotton seed oil deodorizer distillate (CSODD), was recovered to obtain fatty acid sterol ester (FASE), which is one of the biological activated substances added as human therapeutic to lower cholesterol. Esterification reactions were carried out using Candida rugosa lipase as a catalyst, and the conversion of phytosterol was optimized using response surface methodology. The highest conversion (90.

A novel process for recovery and refining of L-lactic acid from fermentation broth.

This paper introduces a novel process for recovery and refining of L-lactic acid from a fermentation broth. The use of a solvent extraction step, in the novel approach, has significant impacts on the following centrifugal short-path distillation conditions (operating pressure, evaporator temperature and feed flow rate). As the conditions were varied, the l-lactic acid purity and yield in the distillate were monitored.
