Defined Mutations in the E. coli Porins Genes impF and impC that Confer Increased Permeability
Published Tuesday, March 9, 1999Bacteria are a major cause of contamination in food and water-borne diseases. To eliminate and treat bacterial infections many drugs are formulated and synthesized. Chemicals synthesized as potential anti microbial compounds and/or therapeutic drugs need to be tested for their efficacy. To do this, a good screening system with a test bacteria is...

Modified Process for Isolation and Purification of Lutein from Marigold Flowers
Published Tuesday, March 9, 1999Numerous epidemiological studies have shown that consumption of substantial amounts of fruits and vegetables reduce the risk of cancer. The anti cancer activity is believed to be caused by the carotenoids in the food which act as antioxidants. Most earlier studies were conducted with b carotene as an antioxidant. Recent evidence suggests that...

Fully Self-Aligned High Speed Low Power MOSFET Fabrication
Published Tuesday, October 21, 1997A new improvement in the high speed components for VLSI technologies is the vertical doping engineering (VDE), which resembles the SOI (Silicon On Insulator) technique in bulk Silicon. In a vertical engineering doped device, the junction capacitance of the device is reduced by decreasing its substrate doping level. In the meantime, a local...
