Use of Natural Nanotubes of Halloysite Clay for Thermochemical Conversion of Cottonseed Oil

The process of obtaining low molecular weight C2-C4 olefins, as a result of thermal and thermocatalytic conversion of cottonseed oil was investigated. The total content of olefin gases obtained by the thermal conversion of cottonseed oil in the temperature range of 700-800°C is 57.2-65.2 wt. %. Thermocatalytic conversion of cottonseed oil on the natural halloysite nanotubes as a catalyst in the temperature range of 500-800 ° provides the total content of olefins 10.8-69.2 wt. with increased yield of propylene and butenes

Identification of two rare ß-globin gene mutations in a patient with ß-thalassemia intermedia from Azerbaijan

PubMedID: 23510507ß-Thalassemias are an inherited group of disorders of hemoglobin (Hb) and comprise the most common monogenic disorders in Azerbaijan. They are extremely heterogeneous at the molecular level. Here we report the first identification of a patient who is a compound heterozygote for two rare ß-thalassemia (ß-thal) mutations, IVS-I-130 (G>C) and codon 37 (TGG>TGA).
