Abstract: Methods for the preparation and isolation of malonic acid, a salt or a diesters thereof, preferably bio-based versions of the foregoing are provided.

Abstract: Provided herein is a process of ion exchange comprising malonic acid or a salt thereof and a cation or an anion cation exchange resin. The ion exchange is accomplished, e.g., and without limitation by continuous ion exchange. A valve and resin bed configuration is useful in this regard. The malonic acid separated by ion exchange is esterified, e.g., by Fisher esterification by using an acid and an alcohol.

Abstract: Provided herein are processes, including semi-synthetic, and synthetic processes for preparing cannabinoids, and cannabinoid compositions provided thereby.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides compounds of formula (I), (II), and (Ia): Methods of preparing these molecules and their use for treatment of Parkinson's Disease are described.

Abstract: Methods and materials related to producing aspartic acid, ?-alanine and salts of each thereof are disclosed. Specifically, isolated nucleic acids, polypeptides, host cells, methods and materials for producing aspartic acid by direct fermentation from sugars are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to the addition of a carboxylic acid, preferably formic acid or acetic acid, to a washcoat and/or overcoat slurry to improve the properties of the slurry, including adhesion of the slurry to a substrate. The present invention provides for the reduction in oxide solid loss, increase in oxide solid pickup, and a more efficient method of producing washcoat and/or overcoat slurries.

Abstract: An apparatus is electrically powered and the automatically forces acting method uses for open oyster shells, whichese serves as a catalyst from the torque rotation to double pushes and pulls directions for moving up and down pressed the opener's momentum through oyster seam is open the shells. An opener is long inclined teeth blade and wedge shaped; the opener may open all sizes of oyster by the technique of the normal force or the combining of the shearing and sliding forces. At almost the same of the normal force technique above; but in this techniques of the forces combination, either shell for forcing must parallel to the angle of the opener. When the opener's momentum coming down pushes on the shell; the shearing deformation exerts a sliding frictional force to broke the oyster eye, the shells slides off each other; the oyster shells is opened.
