Journal ArticleDOI

Yucca aloifolia Seed Oil: A New Source of Bioactive Compounds

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to characterize and evaluate the seed oil extracted from Y. aloifolia seeds and found that the oil contained tocotrienols, which represent 79% of the total amount of tocols.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling of the nanocrystalline-sized mesoporous zinc oxide catalyst using an artificial neural network for efficient biodiesel production

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of different reaction parameters including reaction time, reaction temperature, metal ratio, and calcination temperature was modeled by artificial neural networks (ANNs) to find out the possible relative optimum conditions of the synthesized mesoporous SO 3 H-ZnO catalyst for the prediction of the nanocrystalline size.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low-Temperature Dilute Acid Hydrolysis of Oil Palm Frond

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the effect of operating conditions of dilute sulfuric acid hydrolysis undertaken in a 1L self-built batch reactor on xylose production from OPF fiber.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vitro and in silico exploration of IL-2 inhibition by small drug-like molecules

TL;DR: Computational studies could provide an alternate tool for the identification and designing of more potent IL-2 inhibitors, and most of the chalcones were found to have a powerful inhibitory effect on T-lymphocytes proliferation and cytokine production.
Journal Article

Heavy metals concentration in soil-plant-animal continuum under semi-arid conditions of Punjab, Pakistan.

TL;DR: It can be suggested that the value of Pb in soil was greater than the critical levels, while Cd concentration in soil, forage or blood plasma and Pb concentration in forage and blood plasma were within the non-toxic range.
