The physical and mechanical properties of particleboard panels were evaluated relative to various loading levels nanocellulose (NC) boric acid (BA) in the urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin used for panel production. results showed that NC BA reinforcement substantially affected performance panels. It was determined using 3% afforded best thickness swelling (TS), water absorption (WA), moisture conte...

Background: Vulvovaginal candidiasis is one of the most common infections in gynecologic filed, and non–albicans Candida species are emerging causative microorganisms. This species shows resistance to routine treatments. One of the suggested treatments is administration of vaginal suppositories of boric acid. The aim of the present study was to compare boric acid with clotrimazole in the treatm...

Boric acid and its chemical relatives are pesticides that are derived from the element boron. Boron rarely occurs alone and is typically found in combination with other elements; common combinations are boric acid or borates.1 Unlike many pesticides which are synthetic compounds,2 boric acid and related pesticides are naturally occurring compounds.1 Boron compounds are widely found in rivers, s...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The use of low concentrations of boric acid as a potential and effective control agent for the eggs and immature stages of Aedes aegypti L. and Aedes albopictus Skuse (Diptera: Culicidae) is found to be safe and effective as compared to synthetic chemical insecticides. The study aims to determine the ovicidal concentration of boric acid, its effective concentration for o...

The paper presents the synthesis and performance of an immobilized phospholipase A1 with practical application for oil degumming. The polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) had a number of properties indicating this polymer as a good enzyme carrier. The combination with alginate made a macro-porous structure, evidenced by SEM analyses. When the process time in boric acid solution was 30 minutes, the results r...

In this study, the effects of boric acid and humate supplementation into hen diets on egg production and quality parameters and blood cholesterol levels were examined. For this aim, totally 160, 40 weeks of age, Hyline-White 98 layers were randomly divided into control and 3 treatment groups each containing 40 birds and 10 replicates (each with 4 birds). There was no boric acid or humate supple...

Pest management in confinement swine production relies primarily on calendar-based applications of broad-spectrum insecticides. However, regulatory restrictions imposed by the U.S. Food Quality Protection Act of 1996, the large financial obligation of pesticide registration, and development of insecticide resistance have led to a renewed search for alternative control methods. Boric acid dust h...
