Epoxidation of oil with peroxyacetic acid formed in-situ using sulfated tin (IV) oxide catalyst: Characterization; kinetic and thermodynamic analysis.

In this study, sulfated tin (IV) oxide solid acid catalyst was prepared for the epoxidation of oil (AMO) with peroxyacetic acid formed in-situ. The catalyst was synthesized using the chemical co-precipitation method and characterized. The effects of various epoxidation parameters on ethylenic double bond conversion (%) and oxygen ring content were analyzed.

Valorization of indigenous seed oil for biodiesel production: parametric optimization, physicochemical characterization, engine performance and emission characteristics.

The current investigation aimed to synthesis the biodiesel from an indigenous seed oil (MFO) using methanol with alkali catalyst (NaOH). The factors affecting the oil extraction viz., extraction time, kernel size, solvent: solid, extraction temperature) was optimized via the parametric study.

Reducing Sugar Production from Straw Biomass Using Dilute Sulfuric Acid Hydrolysis: Characterization and Optimization Using Response Surface Methodology.

The present study evaluated first the characterization of straw and then Box-Behnken design (BBD), and response surface methodology was adopted to optimize the parameters (hydrolysis temperature, dilute sulfuric acid concentration, solid to liquid ratio, and hydrolysis time) of dilute sulfuric acid hydrolysis of straw in order to get a maximum yield of total reducing sugar (TRS). The chemical analysis of straw revealed high amounts of cellulose (41.8 wt%), hemicellulose (38 wt%), and lignin (17 wt%).

Loss of KDM6A confers drug resistance in acute myeloid leukemia.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive hematologic neoplasm resulting from the malignant transformation of myeloid progenitors. Despite intensive chemotherapy leading to initial treatment responses, relapse caused by intrinsic or acquired drug resistance represents a major challenge. Here, we report that histone 3 lysine 27 demethylase KDM6A (UTX) is targeted by inactivating mutations and mutation-independent regulation in relapsed AML.
