The volatile oils from red and black rice bran were obtained by hydrodistillation using diethyl ester and the components of that oil were analyzed by capillary GC-MS. The volatile components of essential oil from red and black rice bran were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. One hundred twenty-nine (129) of volatile compounds were identified in red and black rice bran. Myristic acid, nonanal, (E)-beta-...

When the picrosirius red technique was applied to cardiac muscle sections, intense yellow myocyte staining sometimes obscured thin collagenous septa. The picrosirius red technique was modified to include treatment of the sections in 0.2% (w/v) aqueous phosphomolybdic acid prior to staining. With 1-5 min treatment, cytoplasmic staining was eradicated; diminution of collagen staining occurred onl...

In this study, SBA-15-PAMAM mesoporous Nano-adsorbent was synthesized, characterized and applied for adsorption of Acid dyes (Acid Blue 62 (AB62) and Acid Red 266 (AR266)) from aqueous Medias. Adsorption of AB62 and AR266 on SBA-15 ordered mesoporous silica, polyamidoamine functionalized SBA-15(SBA-15-PAMAM), has been investigated. In order to assess the synthesized adsorbent constructional, FT...

PURPOSE Syrah red grapes are used in the production of tannin-rich red wines. Tannins are high molecular weight molecules, proanthocyanidins (PAs), and poorly absorbed in the upper intestine. In this study, gut microbial metabolism of Syrah grape phenolic compounds was investigated. METHODS Syrah grape pericarp was subjected to an enzymatic in vitro digestion model, and red wine and grape ski...

Growth response of coleoptile segments excised from 3-day-old seedlings of wheat (Triticum vulgare cv. Baart) to gibberellic acid, indoleacetic acid, and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, to red light, and to several microtubule disorganizers depends on the initial position of the excised segment in the intact coleoptile. Red light, 660 nm, stimulates the growth of the apical cells, but inhibits ...

Food sources,mineral redistribution, and excreta are someof theways ants enrich their mound environment. Phosphorus excretion has not been reported in red imported Þre ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren. QuantiÞcation of phosphoric acid in worker fecal droplets and larval anal liquid of S. invicta was performed. Phosphoric acid was trimethylsilylated using N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)trißuoroacetamide, ...

that 286,000 ha in Arkansas were affected by the oak decline. In 2002 and 2003, Guldin et al. (2006) established 181 field plots in Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma and estimated that 33% of red oak density (trees/ha) and 30% of red oak basal area in the region were dead or dying. Kabrick et al. (2004) studied nine forested sites in southern Missouri ranging in size from 312 to 514 ha. They rep...
