BACKGROUND There is little evidence linking meconium stained liquor to poor perinatal outcome and clear amniotic fluid is frequently considered a reassuring sign during labour. OBJECTIVE To determine whether there are any differences in cardiotocography (CTG) tracings and perinatal outcomes in women with meconium stained compared with those with clear liquor in labour. DESIGN A prospective ...

In the present work, we investigated and optimized the digestion efficiency, A/S (Al2O3/SiO2 in red mud), and N/S (Na2O/SiO2 in red mud) of mixed bauxite in Iran Alumina Company using the Bayer process. Digestion experiments were carried out in an induction rotary autoclave on a mix of Jajarm, Yazd, Tash, and Shirin Cheshmeh baux...

Luzhoulaojiao liquor is a type of Chinese liquor that dates back hundreds of years, but whose precise chemical composition remains unknown. This paper describes the screening of the liquor and the identification of its compounds using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC/TOF-MS). Samples were prepared by both liquid-liquid extraction and sol...

Normal and acidotic rumen liquor samples from buffalo calves were subjected to various treatments and injected intraperitoneally to mice. The mortality rate was recorded up to 4B h of post injection. The toxic factors present in the acidotic rumen liquor were heat resistant and were found to be concentrated in the high centrifuged sediment. It was observed that the acidotic rumen liquor was abo...

In this work, the effect of Fenton's reagent on the degradation of residual Kraft black liquor was investigated. The effect of Fenton's reagent on the black liquor degradation was dependent on the concentration of H2O2. At low concentrations (5 and 15 mM) of H2O2, Fenton's reagent caused the degradation of phenolic groups (6.8 and 44.8%, respectively), the reduction of reaction medium pH (18.2%...

This study was done to investigate the nutritive value of Festocaovina, Agrostisgiganta and Avena sativa using sheep rumen and feces liquor as sources of micro-organism through gas production method. Rumen and feces liquor were collected from three fistulated sheep. Rangeland species sampling was randomly conducted from different areas of Guilan province. All the collected samples were initiall...

The Nigerian liquor trade provoked fierce debate: was it advancing development or fashioning an economy based on the unproductive consumption of alcohol? The liquor trade was caught between two prevailing colonial perspectives on African economic development: the Darwinian-based principle that Western civilisation had a duty to protect Africans from all bad external influences, and the civilise...
