Effects of the P20 protein from Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis on insecticidal crystal protein Cry4Ba
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
The accessory protein P20 from Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis has been defined as an important molecular chaperone for forming crystal Cyt1Aa, and enhancing Cry11Aa and Cry4Aa expression. To investigate its putative ...

Concentrations of 25 heavy metals (Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Sr, V, Zn and Hg) in surface sediments along the Doha Bay from 10 transects each with five stations were ...
Selective removal of dibenzothiophene from commercial diesel using manganese dioxide-modified activated carbon: A kinetic study
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
With a total concentration of 7055 mgS/kgfuel, the content of organosulphur compounds (OSCs) in local diesel is 20 times higher than the regulated value. Analysis revealed that 30% of OSC is originated from dibenzothiophene ...
Influence of diesel acidification on dibenzothiophene removal: A new desulfurization practice
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Commercial diesel is often loaded with organosulphur compounds including hard-to-remove dibenzothiophene DBT and other derivatives. Following uncommon and simple procedure, dibenzothiophene was selectively removed upon ...
A novel desulfurization practice based on diesel acidification prior to activated carbon adsorption
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2015 , Article)
Commercial diesel is often rich with organosulfur compounds and a value of 7,100 mgS/kg was recently reported. As confirmed by chromatographic analysis, about 36% of sulfur compounds are originated from dibenzothiophene. ...
Insights into the remediation characterization of modified bentonite in minimizing organosulphur compounds from diesel fuel
(
Korean Society of Industrial Engineering Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
In this work, physical and chemical characteristics of the raw, treated, and acid activated bentonite were investigated using XRD, FTIR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and differential thermal analysis (DTA)/thermogravimetry ...

(
Mary Ann Liebert Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the most common malignancies and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Its prognosis remains poor for patients with several grades of this disease. This underscores the need for ...
Cry4Ba and Cyt1Aa proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis: Interactions and Toxicity mechanism against Aedes aegypti
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Individual crystal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis exhibit variable levels of insecticidal activities against mosquito larvae. In all cases, they are much less active compared to the whole crystal proteins ...
