Eco-grease from upcycling of waste oils: a formulation study for high-performance lubricantsNARA Subscribed
The disposal of waste oils, particularly waste engine oil (WEO) and waste turbine oil (WTO), presents serious economic and environmental issues due to their high contamination and degradation levels, which reduce the efficiency of direct reuse or conventional recycling. This study investigates a practical approach for upcycling WTO and WEO into high-performance lubricating grease, providing a sustainable substitute for petrole...
Variation in the Molecular Phenotype of βglu‐1 , an Insect Defence‐Related Beta‐Glucosidase Gene, in Two Transcontinental Picea SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Forest trees face threats from many insect pest species, underscoring the importance of understanding their defence mechanisms for survival. In a North American conifer species, Picea glauca , gene expression of β glu‐1 produces phenolic compounds (acetophenones) that defend against its insect defoliator, Choristoneura fumiferana . β glu‐1 is also expressed in a Eurasian conifer species, Picea abies , although no major insect...
Status of truffle science and cultivation in North AmericaNARA Subscribed
Background Truffles are subterranean fungal fruiting bodies that are highly prized for their culinary value. Cultivation of truffles was pioneered in Europe and has been successfully adapted in temperate regions throughout the globe. Truffle orchards have been established in North America since the 1980s, and while some are productive, there are still many challenges that must be overcome to develop a viable North American tru...
A Transcriptomic Comparative Study of Cranial VasculatureNARA Subscribed
The present study investigated the protective effects of dietary Allium cepa against Saprolegnia parasitica infections and the amelioration of cadmium-induced immunosuppression in Oreochromis niloticus . Saprolegnia isolates were recovered during an outbreak of saprolegniasis in farmed O. niloticus raised in a poor aquatic environment . Isolates were identified phenotypically as S. parasitica. Results were confirmed further by...
Deafness, the most frequent sensory deficit in humans, is extremely heterogeneous with hundreds of genes involved. Clinical and genetic analyses of an extended consanguineous family with pre-lingual, moderate-to-profound autosomal recessive sensorineural hearing loss, allowed us to identify CLRN2, encoding a tetraspan protein, as a new deafness gene. Homozygosity mapping followed by exome sequencing identified a 14.96 Mb locus...
Lumpy skin disease in KazakhstanNARA Subscribed
This study describes the registration of the first cases of lumpy skin disease in July 2016 in the Republic of Kazakhstan. In the rural district of Makash, Kurmangazinsky district of Atyrau region, 459 cattle fell ill and 34 died (morbidity 12.9% and mortality 0.96%). To determine the cause of the disease, samples were taken from sick and dead animals, as well as from insects and ticks. LSDV DNA was detected by PCR in all samp...
