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 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. ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
The vast majority of by-product streams generated throughout industrial processes arises immense environmental, societal and economic related issues. The development of strategies for the valorization of these industrial residues will not only address these problems but also promote bioeconomy, satisfying sustainable development principles. Pomegranate juice production ...
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. ...
On plots of fields under crops under crops, the signs on which it is possible to determine the degree of erosion of soils are the inside covering and plant heights. With the enthusiasm of the steepness of the slopes, the possibility of using cultivated crops as indicators of soil erosion decreases. The degree of soil washout period of natural forage lands ...
