Alhydwan (Boerhavia elegana Choisy seeds) is an edible herbaceous member of the Nynctaginaceae family commonly found in Southern of Yemen [1], they are comprises 300–400 species of trees, shrubs, and herbs classified in approximately 30 genera. Species in Nyctaginaceae are found in all warmer areas of the world. Boerhaavia (Nyctaginaceae) is one of the most famous medicinal plants, where it is widely used ...

Iron Balancing Mechanism: Iron Regulatory Element (IRE)-Messenger RNA Metal Sensing

Iron deficiency and overload are both major public health problem worldwide. About 30% of the world population is suffered from iron related disorder. Iron plays a central role in the metabolism of all living organisms and is toxic in excess. Iron is used to catalyse key reactions in DNA synthesis, respiration and metabolism. ...

Halophilic Micro-Organisms Resources and its Application in Industrial and Environmental Biotechnology

Extremophiles are microorganisms which are characterized by the ability to survive and thrive in environments that are often considered too extreme to sustain life. These extreme environments may include but are not limited to abnormal pH, temperature, salinity and toxicity [1]. Halophiles are extremophiles that have adapted to hypersaline environments. ...

On Convexo Concave Concentration Profile, Time Lag before Formation, Occurrence of Maxima and Attainment of Asymptotic Plateau during Pyrolysis of Cellulose

Computer simulations are used to study the kinetics of reactions that occur during pyrolysis of cellulose. The scheme of reactions that are believed to occur during pyrolysis of cellulose is given in Figure 1.0. The scheme of reactions used in the computer simulation is shown in Figure 1.0. The kinetic rate expressions of the reactions shown in Figure 1.0 are given by Eqs. (1-6) the kinetic rate equations given by Eqs. (1-6) were made dimensionless ...

Value Added Alternatives of Winemaking Process Residues: A Health Based Oriented Perspective

Consumer increasing demand for the use of natural derived compounds and not the chemical synthesized counter parts, the awareness that agricultural practices should become more eco-friendly coupled with the increasing interest of producers to manage surplus waste streams, since the imposed fines ...

Analysis of Gene Network and Application of Barabási–Albert Model to Find out the Core Genes Involved in Glaucoma

Worldwide Glaucoma is affecting over 60 million people. It is a neurodegenerative ocular disorder. Here we have analysed the gene network of Glaucoma from microarray data to understand the molecular mechanisms as a whole. Barabási–Albert model has been used here in gene network analysis to identify the core communities and validated our finding with existing ...

Molecular Tools in Petroleum Hydrocarbon Degradation: An Overview

Kerosene, diesel, gasoline and higher alkanes such as octadecane (C18), eicosane (C20) & docosane (C22) are petroleum hydrocarbons. In the environment these hydrocarbons enter through waste disposal, accidental spills, leakage tanks, & losses during transportation [1]. These types of hydrocarbons are hazardous to the plants, animals & human. Especially, higher hydrocarbons ...

Accumulation of Arsenic Induced by E-Waste in Fresh Water Fish, Channa Punctatus

The present study revealed that Channa punctatus cultivated in Western regions of U.P. (India) and sold in markets had arsenic above the standard tolerance limit. The dried tissues of Gastro-Intestinal Tract (GIT) were subjected to acid digestion. Completely digested samples were analyzed by using Atomic ...

Growth, Essential Oil and Molecular Genetic Identification Studies Of Some Eucalyptus Species Cultivated Under Egyptian Conditions.

The present work was conducted to study the differences in growth characters, essential oil production as well as its chemical composition. Also, study the molecular genetics identification of eight species of genus Eucalyptus (E. stricklandii, E. astringens, E. phaenophylla, E. leucoxylon, E. transcontinentalis, E. sargentii) obtained from Forest and Water Ministry, Tunisia and the other ...

Normalization of Vital Functions of Pathological Cells and Tissues By Key Mechanisms of Cell Adaptation and Reprogramming

Many decades have passed since the discovery of stem cells in 1908 by the Russian histologist Alexander Maximov [1] and the beginning of serious study of stem cells in 1961 by Canadian scientists James Till and Ernest McCulloch [2]. Unfortunately, there has been little success in developing therapeutic applications for stem cells. ...

Planting Times on Growth and Yield Performance Evaluation of Wheat

The experiment was conducted from November 2012 to March 2013 to find out the sowing date on growth and yield of wheat (BARI Gom-26). Three different sowing dates S1: Sowing at 19 November, 2012; S2: Sowing at 29 November, 2012 and S3: Sowing at 09 December, 2012 were used in the experiment using Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. ...

The Evolution of Biosteel ™

Biosteel™ is a spider silk based high strength fibre material made of recombinant spider silk obtained from the milk of transgenic goats. The name Biosteel™ was first used by a Canadian company "Nexia Biotechnology", founded in 1993. Biosteel is reported to have materialistic properties of toughness and stress resistance, which make it a unique Bio-material for many useful purposes. With support from the US Army and Canadian ...

Growth and Yield Response of Brassica oleracea var. italica to Different GA3 Application Time

An experiment was conducted to determine the influence of GA3 on growth, yield and yield contributing characters of broccoli to different GA3 application times. Four GA3 application times [D1: seedling dipped in GA3 for 24 h before transplanting; D2: 4 weeks after transplanting (foliar spray of GA3); D3: 6 weeks after transplanting (foliar spray of GA3) and D4: 8 weeks after transplanting (foliar spray of GA3)] were used in the experiment; all dips and sprays contained 50 ppm GA3. The maximum ...

Use of Membranes and Heterologous Bone with Atelocollagen in the Regeneration of the Post-Extraction Alveolus

The masticatory mucosa width as well as the vestibular bone thickness have a key role in the aesthetic and functional success of the implant-prosthetic rehabilitation. Driving the healing of hard and soft tissues in a post-extractive site can be a critical phase of treatment. In this case, we are going to show we propose a miniinvasive technique that it is well tolerated by the patient even in the post-operative phase. ...
