Acetone extract of Flammulina velutipes caps: a promising source of antioxidant and anticancer agents
In this study, the caps of Flammulina velutipes (commonly called Enoki), an edible mushroom, were extracted with different solvents and characterized for in vitro antioxidant and anticancer activities. The anticancer activity of the extract was studied against breast cancer cells (MCF-7 and MDA-MD-231) and normal or Vero breast cells (MCF-10a). The radical scavenging, metal reducing power, and anticancer properties of the extracts were investigated via in vitro chemical and cell-based methods. Furthermore, a phytochemical profiling process was performed on the extract fraction with the highest level of biological activitie...

Numerical solution of nonlinear sine–Gordon equation by using the modified cubic B-spline differential quadrature method
Publication date: Available online 13 December 2016Source: Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied SciencesAuthor(s): H.S. Shukla, Mohammad TamsirAbstractThis paper deals with numerical solution of one dimensional nonlinear sine–Gordon. “Modified cubic B-spline differential quadrature method” is used to solve one dimensional nonlinear sine–Gordon. The method reduces the problem to a system of first order ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The resulting system of ODEs is solved by “an optimal five stage and fourth-order strong stability preserving Runge–Kutta (SSP-RK54) method”. Finally, the met...

A quantitative review and classification of empirical models for predicting global solar radiation in West Africa
In this study aimed at classifying and reviewing the empirical models employed for estimating GSR in West Africa, the empirical models so far utilized were classified into six main categories and presented based on the input parameters employed. The models were further reclassified into numerous main sub-classes (groups) and finally presented according to their developing year. On the whole, 356 empirical models and 68 functional forms were reported in literature for estimating GSR in West Africa. The authors equally compared the empirical and soft computing models for estimating GSR in West Africa and across the globe and...

Fermentation of lignocellulose ingredients in vivo and in vitro via using fecal and caecal inoculums of monogastric animals (swine/turkeys)
In conclusions, lignocellulose A can be used as alternative source of fiber to maintain the health and function of digestive tract. Furthermore, the use of feces/excreta liquor provides a valid and proper estimate of digestibility or fermentation of feeds. These results provide further guide that this procedure would be an effective and practical means of approximating the digestibility of diets.
