background: chemical control method using different acaricides as spray, dipping solution or pour-on is routinely used for controlling ticks. biological control agents are favorable due to their safety for animals and environment. entomopathogenic fungi such as beauveria bassiana are well known for controlling ticks. in this study, two iranian indigenous strains of b. bassiana ( b. bassiana 519...

the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of dipping time and temperature of hot water and type of packaging on qualitative traits of orlando tangelo variety of tangerine. this study was conducted as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with three repeats. the treatments consisted of dipping in hot water at seven water levels at 53°c and 58°c each for 1, 2 and 4 minutes...

When udders were washed before milking, a post milking teat-dipping with a 5,000 mg available iodine/l iodophor induced an iodine residue of 33 to 54 micrograms l/kg in milk. The iodine contents of the first jets of milk were 1.08 to 8.27 times higher than those of average milk. However, the bulk of iodine residues in milk seemed to be an iodine transfer across teat skin to milk. From these dat...

The thick films of Tungsten Oxide (WO3) were prepared by screen-printing technique. Gas-sensing performance of these films was tested for various gases. The pure films showed response to Hydrogen Sulphide, Ethanol, Oxygen, and Cigar smoke. The pure WO3 thick films were surface modified by dipping them into an aqueous solution of CrO3 for different intervals of time. Surface modification improve...

In the western Sydney Basin, the Lapstone Structural Complex is a major north-trending association of monoclines and faults that forms the frontal ridge of the Blue Mountains Plateau. At Kurrajong Heights, the Lapstone Structural Complex is dominated by an eastfacing monocline with a gently dipping central limb containing several different homoclinal segments. At the Hawkesbury Lookout section,...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) have been used to normalize the blood pressure and the dipping pattern in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and nephropathy. However, there are no data on the effect of the dual blockade on the dipping pattern in these subjects. We therefore, carried out this study to eva...

Hot solder dipping is an accepted method to mitigate whisker growth on electronic components plated with pure tin. To provide the best protection from tin whiskers, the solder coating needs to be up to the package body. The conventional wisdom for solder dipping maintains that dipping up to the package body can cause component damage. If the specific construction differences of ceramic and plas...

This report examines the reliability of nighttime blood pressure dipping. Twenty-one individuals were studied twice with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. On one occasion they were studied as outpatients, and on the other as inpatients on a clinical research ward. Blood pressure monitoring revealed the expected dip in blood pressure at nighttime. However, there was little test-retest reliab...
