The ACD/ChemSketch, MarvinSketch, and ChemOffice programmes were used to calculate several molecular descriptors of 51 odorant molecules (15 alcohols, 11 aldehydes, 9 ketones and 16 esters).The best descriptors were selected to establish the Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship (QSPR) of the retention/release property of odorant molecules i
Cutaneous mast cell tumours are one of the most common canine cancers.Approximately 25% of the tumours metastasise.Activating c-kit mutations are present in about 20% of tumours, but metastases occur in the absence of mutations.Tumour metastasis is associated with significantly diminished survival in spite of adjuvant chemotherapy.Available prognos
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate four selection indexes and Stickers best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) for predicting genetic gain in maize hybrids used for silage.The genetic gain was compared between four selection indexes and BLUP.Nineteen topcross hybrids and five controls were evaluated using a completely randomized bl
The concept of processing biomass materials into charcoal briquettes is a viable solution for every developing nation’s energy crisis.However, the important properties of each biomass material must first be considered to find suitable biomass materials for processing into charcoal briquettes.Sometimes these qualities are Ornaments measured w
Defined for the first time by Sir Thomas Elyot as a «secte of Phylosophers, whiche affirmed nothynge» (1538), the term ‘scepticism’ appears in all its variants only too rarely in the drama of the period.Chadwyck Healey databases (Early English Books Online and Literature Online) record only four different occurrences (Tomkis 1607; Jonson R
