Epidemiological studies around the world were analysed recently by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, demonstrating a positive correlation between consumption of red meat and processed meat and colorectal cancer. In South Africa (SA) there is a great variation in the incidence of this type of cancer between various ethnic groups, related to diet and other risk factors. Strengtheni...

Forest’s ecosystem is one of the most important carbon sink of the terrestrial ecosystem. Remote sensing technology provides robust techniques to estimate biomass and solve challenges in forest resource assessment. The present study explored the potential of Sentinel-2 bands to estimate biomass and comparatively analyzed of red-edge band based and broadband derived vegetation indices. Broadband...

Background: Erythrocytes require an ability to deform and to withstand shear stress while negotiating the microcirculation. These properties are largely due to their excess surface area per volume and the characteristics of the membrane’s protein. Deficiencies of these proteins are associated with chronic haemolysis. Methods: This was a cross sectional  study aimed at determining the prevalenc...

Milk urea nitrogen (MUN) of dairy cows was determined in relation to breed. A total of forty (40) Pabna and red Chittagong dairy cattle each of twenty (20) were selected to know the milk composition, nutritional status and milk urea nitrogen. Live weight of Pabna Cattle (187±14 kg) was higher than that of red Chittagong cattle (174±4 kg). In Pabna cattle milk yield (4.94 kg), minerals (0.15%) a...

in order to study of the radiation interception and red to far red light ratio variations in sunflower hybrids under drought stress, nine sunflower hybrids in three separate experiments were compared as randomized complete block designs with three replications at the research station of seed and plant improvement institute in karaj in 2006. first experiment (control) was irrigated based on 60 m...

background and objectives: with regard to the hazards of nitrite, application of natural preservatives in order to reduce the microbial load of meat and meat products is increasing. owing to their anti-bacterial properties, red barberry and the dried residue of red grape could be suitable replacers for nitrite. materials and methods: agar dilution method was employed in order to determine the m...
