Algae are existing macroscopic materials with substantial benefits, including as important growth regulators and macronutrients micronutrients for the of healthy crop plants. Biofertilizers obtained from algae identified novel production fertilizers or innovative biofertilizers without detrimental impacts chemicals. Seaweeds contain many water-soluble minerals nutrients that plants can easily a...

The presence of morphine alkaloids, anti-microbial and anti-cancer metabolite, sanguinarine, in different species of Papaver genus has made it one of the most valuable plants in the pharmaceutical industry.With regard to the influence of drought and salinity on the increase of secondary metabolites, the present study attempted to investigate the effect of the mentioned stresses on the key genes...

Restrictions on the use of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have resulted in the increased use of alternate flame retardant chemicals to meet flammability standards. However, it has been difficult to determine which chemical formulations are currently being used in high volumes to meet flammability standards since the use of flame retardant formulations in consumer products is not transpa...

Since the 1970s, an increasing number of regulations have expanded the use of brominated and chlorinated flame retardants. Many of these chemicals are now recognized as global contaminants and are associated with adverse health effects in animals and humans, including endocrine and thyroid disruption, immunotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, cancer, and adverse effects on fetal and child developm...

this research was conducted to evaluate the effect of mild and intense drought stresses on root traits and some anti-oxidative enzymes and to identify drought tolerant genotypes in tall fescue. twenty-four genotypes were assessed under three levels of moisture regime (control, mild and intense drought stresses) according to a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with thr...

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Bacillus sp. strain GZT, a 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP)-degrading bacterium previously isolated from an electronic waste-dismantling region. The draft genome sequence is 5.18 Mb and has a G+C content of 35.1%. This is the first genome report of a brominated flame retardant-degrading strain.

The title compound, C(18)H(14)Cl(10), is a decachlorinated commercial flame retardant. The structure determination confirms the relative stereochemistry. The central eight-membered ring is in a chair-type conformation. In the crystal structure, there are no significant inter-molecular inter-actions and mol-ecules are separated by normal van der Waals distances.

Bis-(chloromethyl) oxetane (BCMO) was synthesised from pentaerythritol by chlorination, followed by ring closure. It was polymerised using BF 3 -etherate and butanediol system, similarly the BCMO–THF (tetrahydrofuran) copolymer was also synthesised. The monomers and the polymers were characterised by IR, H-NMR and molecular weight. Flame retardant properties of the poly-BCMO were also investiga...

The title compound (OctaInd), C(18)H(12)Br(8), is a commercial brominated flame retardant (BFR). In the mol-ecule, the five-membered ring has a slight envelope conformation, with a deviation of 0.317 (9) Å for the flap C atom from four essentially planar C atoms. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 74.00 (16) Å.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to formulate and evaluate a matrix microsphere system for simultaneous delivery of two anti-asthmatic drugs Salbutamol sulphate and Theophylline which are often indicated for the management of asthma, their frequent dosing may reduce compliance, thus making a prolonged release formulation necessary. Ethylcellulose was used as a retardant polymer and its ...
