The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of wheat β-amylase (WBA) were characterized and various additives were evaluated for enhancing its activity and thermostability.
Bio-based alternative Si fertilizers were developed by pyrolyzing Si-rich agricultural crop residue biomass of rice straw, sugarcane harvest residue, miscanthus, and switchgrass with KOH pretreatment at 0 100, 1 100, 5 100, 10 100, 25:100 and 50 100 KOH Feedstock biomass ratios (termed 0 KB, 1 KB, 5 KB, 10 KB, 25 KB and 50 KB) and were evaluated for enhancing bioavailable Si in soils.
Absorption enhancers such as hydroxypropyl- and dimethyl-beta-cyclodextrins [ 33], the bile salts, chitosan, and loryl carnitin were evaluated for enhancing absorption of sCT from nasal route in rats [ 34].
A series of novel hybrids has been designed, synthesized and evaluated for cognition enhancing activities through the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and by passive avoidance mouse model.
A novel adjuvant, JVRS-100, cofposed of cationic liposome DNA complexes (CLDC) has been evaluated for immune enhancing activity.
Three real estate investment trusts (REITs) from Shelbourne Properties said they hired Lazard Freres to evaluate options for enhancing shareholder value; Carl Icahn withdrew in February a $157 million offer for the group's outstanding shares because of another deal the REITs arranged.
Osteogenic Protein 1 (OP1/BMP7) was evaluated for the ability to enhance extracellular matrix synthesis in healthy and OA meniscus cells.
Additionally, the most potent compounds 8 and 18 were evaluated for their ability to enhance the cell killing effect of γ-radiation.
The conjugate was evaluated for its ability to enhance the cellular uptake of a cell-impermeable cargo (e.g., F′-G pY EEI phosphopeptide) in CCRF′-G pY EE human ovarIan carcinoma (SK-OV-3) cancer cell lines.
Tryptone, glycine and yeast extract have also been evaluated for their potential to enhance growth or product formation (Shen et al. 2010).
