Resource recovery and recycle of organic waste is a major concern now-a-days all over the world. This present study deals with the Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) using kitchen garbage to produce electricity as well as recycle of organic waste and its potential use in Bangladesh. A rectangular acrylic container (10 x 10 cm) was used as the cell. The container was filled with well mixed kitchen garba...

Avalanche photodiodes will be used to detect scintillation light from PbWO4 crystals in the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter. Properties of Hamamatsu APD are reported and special attention has been devoted to the study of radiation hardness and room temperature annealing. We found a fast recovery with a time constant of 1.3 days, a medium fast recovery with of the order of 10 days and indication...

Thirty-two amenorrheic patients were treated with a tablet oral placebo preparation for a period varying from 30 to 180 days. Another 24 amenorrheic patients were also treated with a placebo administered i.m. for a period varying from 30 to 120 days. As a consequence of the treatment, 27 patients (48%) had menstrual bleedings. The progestogen withdrawal test responsive patients were more respon...

Ertapenem (INVANZ) is a new once-a-day parental beta-lactam antimicrobial agent that has been shown to be highly effective as a single agent for treatment of various community-acquired and mixed infections. The plasma pharmacokinetics of a 1-g intramuscular (i.m.) dose was compared with those of a 1-g intravenous (i.v.) dose infused over 30 min, the recommended rate of i.v. infusion for compari...

BACKGROUND Thrombocytopenia is often seen in the patients of malaria infected with Plasmodium vivax. We studied patients admitted in hospital having coexisting thrombocytopenia and malaria, and recorded the response to anti-malarial therapy. METHODS In this cross-sectional descriptive study, a total of 120 patients admitted in medical ward with Plasmodium vivax malaria and co-existing thrombo...

Sci., 19: 152157 An experiment was conducted to compare testicular diameter (TD), testicular length (TL), scrotal circumference (SC), scrotal length (SL) and body weight (BW) gain of 150 ram lambs ...

AIMS Excessive bleeding impairs outcome after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Current guidelines recommend withdrawal of clopidogrel and ticagrelor 5 days (120 h) before elective surgery. Shorter discontinuation would reduce the risk of thrombotic events and save hospital resources, but may increase the risk of bleeding. We investigated whether a shorter discontinuation time before surg...

BACKGROUND Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a common parasitic disease in Iran being mainly caused by Leishmania (L.) major. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of apoptosis in the spleen and liver of female mice infected with L. major. METHODS BALB/c mice were randomly assigned into the control and experimental groups (ten mice per group). The experimental groups were subcutane...

BACKGROUND Curcumin (Cur), an active ingredient of turmeric is known to have multiple activities, including an antioxidant property and has been suggested to be useful in treatment of several neurological diseases. OBJECTIVE To investigate the neuroprotective effects of Cur to mitigate the effect of the Fluoride (F) induced neurotoxicity in mice brain using the histological and the biochemica...

The use of periodical water stress and potassium fertilization may enhance rice tolerance to drought stress and improve the crop's instantaneous water use efficiency without much yield reduction. This study was conducted to assess the effects of different periodical water stress combined with potassium fertilization regimes on growth, yield, leaf gas exchanges and biochemical changes in rice gr...
