Wheat bran, a major by-product of wheat processing, contains several valuable components that can serve as a potential feedstock for chemical production. This study presents a multiple-stage fractionation method, involving steam explosion and hydrotropic extraction, which were investigated with the goal of separating the main structural bran components: starch, protein, hemicelluloses, lignin, and

Expansion of extracellular matrix occurs in all stages of pulmonary angiopathy associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). In systemic arteries, dysregulation and accumulation of the large chondroitin-sulfate proteoglycan aggrecan is associated with swelling and disruption of vessel wall homeostasis. Whether aggrecan is present in pulmonary arteries, and its potential roles in PAH, has

Flimmer, eller närmare bestämt temporal ljusmodulering (TLM), har återigen blivit ett problem i samband med införandet av LED-baserad belysningsteknik. TLM, dvs. variationer i ljusintensiteten över tiden, kan ha en negativ inverkan på människors hälsa och orsaka irritation, huvudvärk, ögonbesvär och migrän. Förutom det onödiga lidande som TLM orsakar för enskilda personer utgör de negativa konsekv

This chapter strikes a bridge from current-day imaginations to pre-modern concepts of empire. It shows how, on the one hand, modern visions of empire are echoing political and religious notions of an all-encompassing rule that go back to Antiquity.

This paper makes a case study out of the old Hemmerdinger theory, according to which, the Bibliotheca of Photius was actually compiled in Baghdad. The paper discusses the criticism against the

This Handbook is the first comprehensive account of comparative environmental law. It examines in detail the methodological foundations of the discipline as well as the substance of environmental law across countries from four vantage points: country studies from all continents, responses to common problems (including air pollution, water management, nature conservation, genetically modified organ
