Mineral profile and some selected components of three cultivars of onion (Allium cepa L.) (Dan Zaria, red creole and white creole) bulb were compared with garlic (Allium sativum L.) clove. This was pertinent to establish their potentials in ensuring adequate nutrition and food security. Simultaneous multi-element analysis was done by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP...

More than 40% of the homes in Georgia use onsite systems to manage household wastewater. Because of water quality concerns as the number on onsite systems increases, advanced wastewater treatment components to reduce biological oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), and nutrients are more commonly used.. The objective of this study was to evaluate passive, low-maintenance onsite sys...

UNLABELLED Diagnosis of cardiac involvement is important for the management of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). This study was undertaken to determine the significance of gated myocardial perfusion SPECT in patients with SSc and whether diastolic function measured by gated SPECT is an early sign of cardiac complications. METHODS Thirty-four patients with SSc and 16 control patients wer...

Wastewater was collected from the Dheradun industrial area situated in capital of uttrakhand. Samples were collected between the periods of November 2010 to Aug.2011 determine the following parameters, pH, temperature, turbidity, chemical oxygen demand (COD), Biological oxygen demand(BOD), dissolved oxygen (DO), conductivity, total dissolved solid (TDS), total suspended solid (TSS), sulphate, n...

The disposal of domestic wastewater without any treatment into the drainage systems is considered a source of pollution threatening the population. Industrial waste water discharge to the environment is one of the environmental problems which must be controlled. Current mainstream technologies for treatment of domestic wastewater such as activated sludge and tertiary nutrient removal are too co...

The relationship between berry chemical composition, region of origin and quality grade was investigated for Chardonnay grapes sourced from vineyards located in seven South Australian Geographical Indications (GI). Measurements of basic chemical parameters, amino acids, elements, and free and bound volatiles were conducted for grapes collected during 2015 and 2016. Multiple factor analysis (MFA...

Bacterial consortia BMP1 (containing six isolates), BMP2 (three isolates) and BBP (three isolates) were isolated from textile affected soil, sludge and effluent of Hudiara drain in vicinity of Nishat Mills Limited 5Km Off 22Km Ferozepur Road Lahore, Pakistan. These consortia were capable of degrading red, green, black and yellow dyes and were resistant to heavy metals (Cu, Cd, Cr, Ni, Mn & Pb)....

Air lindi dapat menjadi pencemar lingkungan jika dibuang begitu saja tanpa adanya pengolahan. Hal ini karena mengandung zat-zat kimia beracun, senyawa organik serta konstituen lainnya yang terlarut dan tersuspensi di dalam tanah. Sifat utama adalah BOD, COD, rasio BOD/COD, padatan tersuspensi, pH, amonia-nitrogen, logam berat. Kandungan TSS, pH pada air harus memenuhi syarat baku mutu telah dit...
