摘要:
A discrete element method for modelling granular or particulate material, the method including a multiple grid search method wherein the multiple grid search method is a hierarchical grid search method, and wherein entities, such as particles and boundary elements, are allocated to cells of respective grids based on size. The search method further includes: (a) performing a search of cells in a first of the grid levels to determine pairs of entities which satisfy predetermined criteria to be included in a neighbor list for which both entities belong to the first grid level; (b) mapping each nonempty cell in the first grid level to each of the other grid levels, determining neighboring cells in each of the other grid levels and determining all pairs of entities belonging to a pair of levels that satisfy the predetermined criteria for inclusion in the neighbor list; and (c) repeating (a) and (b) for all grid levels.

The present invention relates to methods of synthesizing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially eicosapentaenoic acid, docosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, in recombinant cells such as yeast or plant cells. Also provided are recombinant cells or plants which produce long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a group of new enzymes which possess desaturase or elongase activity that can be used in methods of synthesizing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.
摘要:
The present invention relates to artificial oil bodies comprising oleosin (which, as presently defined, also encompasses caleosin, steroleosin and polyoleosin), a surfactant such as a phospholipid, and an oil comprising fatty acids, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids having four or more double bonds. The present invention also relates to methods of preparing said artificial oil bodies. These AOBs may further comprise other molecules such as bioactive molecules, used in a wide variety of products, and are particularly useful for producing oxidatively stable oil-in-water emulsions in the absence of added antioxidants. The present invention further encompasses a method for the partial purification of oleosin from a plant extract.
摘要:
A process for the separation of a gas from a gas stream using metal organic framework that is reversibly switchable between a first conformation that allows the first gas species to be captured in the metal organic framework, and a second conformation that allows the release of the captured first gas species, using light as the switching stimulus. The metal organic framework may comprise a metal and one or more ligands, in which the ligands contain an isomerizable group within the molecular chain that forms a link between adjacent metal atoms in the metal organic framework.
摘要:
A method to determine a concentration of a target element in a sample is provide. The method comprises (i) positioning a sample containing a target element with respect to a reference material containing a reference element, (ii) simultaneously irradiating the sample and the reference material with Bremsstrahlung X-rays to thereby produce activated nuclei in the target element and to produce activated nuclei in the reference element, (iii) detecting deactivation gamma-rays' from the irradiated sample and deactivation gamma-rays from the irradiated reference material, (iv) determining a first number of detected deactivation gamma-rays from the irradiated sample and a second number of detected deactivation gamma-rays from the reference material, and (v) determining the concentration of the target element in the sample by first normalising the first number of detected deactivation gamma-rays from the irradiated sample by the second number of detected deactivation gamma-rays from the reference material. The variation of the reference element to target element cross section ratio over a range of electron beam energies is less than a predetermined measurement accuracy.
