plants firing fuel oil produce huge quantities of fly ash as solid waste, which needs to becharacterized prior to its proper management. it is worth mentioning that the published literature lackcomprehensive information on the characteristics of such fly ash. characteristics of fuel oil fly ash producedat selected power (pp) and water desalination (dp) plants were determined. the results showed...

the identification of different species of simuliidae, also called “black fly”, is based on particular structure of oral and terminal appendages of their larvae add also on the special morphology of adults and pupaes. because of their considerable flight range, the problem of finding their resting places, and also the difficulties of collecting the adult flies, breeding of this insect, in the l...

Despite numerous studies, the precise role of dietary n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis remains controversial. It has been shown that feeding an n-6-enriched diet resulted in decreased atherosclerosis in African green monkeys and was associated with a reduction in LDL levels. However, other authors reported that n-6 supplementation increased the oxidative st...

The effect of rhizospheric bacteria on the physiological and biochemical characteristics safflower (Carthamus tinctorius)

background: laboratory bred sand flies are essential for the study of different biological phenomena including the transmis­sion dynamics of leishmania . the aim of the study was to determine the suitable situation for colonization and main­tenance of iranian strain of phlebotomus papatasi at laboratory conditions from an endemic focus of cutaneous leishmani­asis due to leishmania major . metho...

This research was carried out within the framework of scientific and technical program BR10764991, “Creation highly productive varieties hybrids oilseeds cereals based on achievements biotechnology, genetics, physiology, biochemistry plants for their sustainable production in various soil climatic zones Kazakhstan,” under budget 267, “Increasing availability knowledge research.” The article pre...

Prolonged infusions of lipid and heparin that achieve high physiological free fatty acid (FFA) concentrations inhibit hepatic (and peripheral) insulin sensitivity in humans. These infusions are composed largely of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA; linoleic and linolenic). It is not known whether fatty acid composition per se affects hepatic glucose metabolism in humans. To address this issue, ...

PURPOSE To investigate the possibility that previously demonstrated reductions in photoreceptor sensitivity to light in n-3 fatty-acid-deficient rats can be explained by alterations in rhodopsin content and/or function. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were reared throughout gestation, lactation, and up to 24 weeks of age on a diet containing safflower oil (n-3 fatty-acid-deficient) or soybean oil...

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), an important traditional Chinese medicine, is cultured widely for its pharmacological effects, but little is known regarding the genes related to the metabolic regulation of the safflower's yellow pigment. To investigate genes related to safflor yellow biosynthesis, 454 pyrosequencing of flower RNA at different developmental stages was performed, generating ...
