Application of Exergy Analysis in Energy Requirements Assay of the Typical Process Unit Operations of Chemical Industries

This project proposes a method based on exergy analysis for considering energy efficiency problems. Because exergy is not a concept frequently used by industrials attention has been paid to go through what is exergy and how it can be so useful to enhance t ...

Discovery of a novel pharmacological and structural class of gamma secretase modulators derived from the extract of Actaea racemosa

Patrick Fraering

A screen of a library of synthetic drugs and natural product extracts identified a botanical extract that modulates the processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) in cultured cells to produce a lowered ratio of amyloid-beta peptide (1-42) (Aβ42) relativ ...

Biologically active secondary metabolites from cyanobacteria

Cyril Portmann

For millennia, nature was the only source of medicine for mankind. Even today natural products represent a large proportion of the drugs in use. In some areas, like cancer or infectious diseases, about 50 % of the compounds used are of natural origin. Cyan ...

No Evidence for the Induction of Brown Algal Chemical Defense by the Phytohormones Jasmonic Acid and Methyl Jasmonate

Induced chemical defense reactions are widespread in marine brown algae. Despite the evidence that the biosynthesis of defense metabolites can be up-regulated upon herbivory, we do not know how this regulation of biosynthetic pathways to secondary metaboli ...

Hydroxylamine decomposition in the presence of iron studied by calorimetry, online mid-IR and UV-vis spectroscopy

Julien Léo Billeter, Konrad Hungerbühler

Recent explosions at two chemical plants, one in the United States and one in Japan, involving hydroxylamine manufacture underline the lack of mechanistic understanding about this industrially relevant compound. The basic chemical properties of hydroxylami ...
