the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of steam treatment on nutritive value of date (phoenix dactylifera) leaves. date leaves were chopped and mixed with water or sulfuric acid solution to contain 50% moisture with or without 1% sulfuric acid. steam treatment of the date leaves was carried out using three levels of steam pressure (14, 17 and 20 bar), three reaction times (120, 180...

OBJECTIVE This study analyzes and compares pediatric exposures to packet and nonpacket forms of laundry and dishwasher detergents in the United States. METHODS Data from the National Poison Data System involving exposures to laundry and dishwasher detergents among children younger than 6 years old from 2013 through 2014 were analyzed. RESULTS There were 62 254 children younger than 6 years ...

The demand for soybean has been steadily increasing year after year. Pests are one of the most significant barriers to production. goal this study was determine what concentration soapberry fruit extract use as an adjunctive ingredient in cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) formulations obtain best pest control effect and growth yield. This used a randomized complete block design with single factor:...

Signal transducer and activator of transcription (Stat) 6 is vital to interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 responses and the generation of Th2 immunity. We investigated the cellular location of phosphorylated Stat6 and Stat6 DNA binding activity in A201.1 murine B cells and primary splenocytes. Phosphorylated Stat6 was present in cytoplasmic and nuclear extracts from IL-4-treated cells. Confocal micros...

In order to reduce the functional degradation caused by improper daily washing-care and prolong service life of technical jacket, relationship between washing conditions in wearing performance jacket (waterproof, windproof, warmth retention) was quantitatively investigated with help hydrostatic pressure, surface contact angle, air permeability, retention, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) afte...

An isolated skeletal muscle preparation is described which has been used to study the efflux of enzymes in response to contractile activity, metabolic poisons and detergent treatment. In both fast and slow muscles contractile activity caused a release of lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase that reached a peak 1-2 h after the end of stimulation. There was very little release during the 30 ...

The structure of the detergent in crystals of outer membrane phospholipase A (OMPLA) has been determined using neutron diffraction contrast variation. Large crystals were soaked in stabilising solutions, each containing a different H(2)O/D(2)O contrast. From the neutron diffraction at five contrasts, the 12 A resolution structure of the detergent micelle around the protein molecule was determin...
