Antiapoptotic and antioxidant activities of aqueous-methanolic extract (CAME) of Orthosiphonstamineus Benth(OS), and its hexane (HF), chloroform (CF), n-butanol (NBF), ethyl acetate (EAF) and water (WF) fractions were investigated. Antioxidant properties were evaluated using the assays of Folin-Ciocalteu, aluminiumtrichloride, β-carotene bleaching and DPPH. The role of OS against hydrogen perox...

One of E-Government (E-Gov) implementations is to produce a form of relationship namely Government to Government (G2G). The main factor of G2G concerning interoperability between central and local governments is the heterogeneity in developing E-Gov applications. The interoperability that has occurred are done by creating a brand new architecture that has a function to allow existing E-Gov appl...

The study investigated the effect of methanol extract and its fractionations obtained from Yemeni khat on the smooth muscle isometric tension in Lewis rat aortal ring preparations and compared the effects of the crimson and green leaves. Khat leaves were sorted into green (khat Light; KL) and crimson (khat Dark; KD) leaves, extracted with methanol, followed with solvent-solvent extraction (benz...

Phosphorus (P) adsorption capacities of materials derived from batch experiments can vary by several orders of magnitude depending on the method used, leading to potential misinterpretation of the P retention capacity on a long-term basis and unrealistic estimations of constructed wetland systems (CWS) longevity. The objective of this study was to determine if the P saturation of the material i...

The attaching effacing (AE) adherence property is now recognized as an important virulence characteristic of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC). The fluorescent-actin staining (FAS) test (S. Knutton, T. Baldwin, P. H. Williams, and A. S. McNeish, Infect. Immun. 57:1290-1298, 1989), which is diagnostic for the AE lesions produced by EPEC (and Vero cytotoxin-producing E. coli), has provided...

Leaching mechanism of zinc oxide is important not only to understand zinc smelting process but also to develop of new zinc recycling process. Recycling of zinc is mainly done by treatment of electric arc furnace dust (EAF dust). In Japan pyro metallurgical process is enhanced for EAF dust treatment, however only zinc oxide can be recovered by pyro metallurgical process. Hydro metallurgical proc...

The investigation of electric arc furnace (EAF) steel slag as a viable add-on technology to existing stormwater systems for the removal of dissolved phosphorus (P) was extended to explore the effects of varying environmental and treatment system conditions. Parameters such as stormwater composition, P concentration, metal concentration, pH, temperature, slag mass and slag particle size were var...

In this study, the antioxidative fraction of white mulberry (Morus alba) was found to have an apotogenic effect on Ehrlich's ascites carcinoma cell-induced mice (EAC mice) that correlate with upregulated p53 and downregulated NFκB signaling. The antioxidant activities and polyphenolic contents of various mulberry fractions were evaluated by spectrophotometry and the ethyl acetate fraction (EAF)...
