Evaluation of the Tellurium Dioxide Crystal Shear Acoustic Wave Attenuation at 40-140 MHz Frequency.

The attenuation of slow shear acoustic waves in the (110) plane of tellurium dioxide (TeO) crystals was investigated. The strong acoustic anisotropy of TeO crystals results in a non-uniform acoustic power distribution, which can introduce errors in conventional acousto-optic testing methods. In this study, we propose a general method to measure the acoustic power distribution along the propagation direction of acoustic waves in non-collinear acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTFs).

Identification, Characterization and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Quantification for Process-Related Impurities in Abiraterone Acetate Bulk Drug.

During the synthesis of abiraterone acetate bulk drug in some laboratory batches, two unreported impurities were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography analysis at levels ranging from 0.05 to 0.10% according to the United States Pharmacopeia method.

Fed-batch fermentation of Tuber melanosporum for the hyperproduction of mycelia and bioactive Tuber polysaccharides.

For the first time, a fed-batch fermentation process of Tuber melanosporum was developed for the efficient production of bioactive mycelia and Tuber polysaccharides. Each 1.67 g/L of peptone and 8.

Novel biotransformation process of podophyllotoxin to produce podophyllic acid and picropodophyllotoxin by Pseudomonas aeruginosa CCTCC AB93066, part II: process optimization.

This work optimized the novel biotransformation process of podophyllotoxin to produce podophyllic acid by Pseudomonas aeruginosa CCTCC AB93066. Firstly, the biotransformation process was significantly affected by medium composition. 5 g/l of yeast extract and 5 g/l of peptone were favorable for podophyllic acid production (i.

Quantitative response of cell growth and Tuber polysaccharides biosynthesis by medicinal mushroom Chinese truffle Tuber sinense to metal ion in culture medium.

During the submerged fermentation of medicinal mushroom Chinese truffle Tuber sinense, there was no significant effect of metal ion on the cell growth and the production of intracellular polysaccharides, while metal ion and its concentration significantly affected the production of extracellular polysaccharides (EPS). By using the approach of "one-variable-at-a-time", 50 mM Mg2+ was identified to be the most favorable for EPS production, and the next was 10 mM K+. A mathematical model, constructed by response surface methodology combination with full factorial design, was applied to study the synergic effect of Mg2+ and K+.
