The present study investigated the molecular mechanisms of immune stimulation and improved chemotherapeutic e...

A BBRC review of the identification criteria of ‘Dark-breasted Barn Owls’ Tyto alba guttata concluded that only those birds with completely buff underparts were safely identifiable as guttata. Many British claims of guttata show varying amounts of white below, and are thought to originate from the wide intergrade zone between guttata and nominate alba, although variation within alba may also ac...

Populus alba is fast and auto- growing tree which profoundly accessible in around the world. The usage of the wastes of this tree would be admirable from environmental and solid waste management point of view. Thus, herein, this data set presents a facile method for providing an adsorbent from wastes of P. alba tree. The prepared adsorbent was modified by the cationic surfactant of (C16H33)N(CH...

The antibacterial activity of leaf extract of mangroves, namely, Rhizophora mucronata, Sonneratia alba and Exoecaria agallocha from Chorao island, Goa was investigated against human bacterial pathogens Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus sp., Salmonella typhi, Proteus vulgaris and Proteus mirabilis. As compared to aqueous, ethanol extract showed broad-spectrum activity. The multidrug-resistant...

Nutrient enrichment of surface waters degrades water quality. Municipalities need effective and economical solutions to remove nutrients from waters. From July 2016 May 2020, full-scale (900 m2, 5% cover) floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) were deployed in Wickham Park pond, a eutrophic body (0.13 mg/L total phosphorus (P), 0.96 nitrogen (N)). The plants FTWs close proximity SB10000 mixer fixed...

A survey was carried out to establish the status of rat infestation and recent rat control practices in oil palm plantations in Peninsular Malaysia. Rattus tiomanicus (Miller) constitutes a major rat species (68%), followed by Rattus argentiventer (Robinson and Kloss), (46%) and Rattus rattus diardii (L.), (28%). Although 75% of estates did not consider rats as a serious problem, the damage est...

In the present study the bark of Plumeria alba Linn. (Apocynaceae) was evaluated for pharmacognostical and phytochemical parameters and methanolic extract for antimicrobial activity by determining its MIC (by checker board method) and zone of inhibition (by cup plate method).Pharmacognostical parameters of the bark of Plumeria alba Linn. (Apocynaceae) were studied with the aim of drawing the ph...
