In recent years, many papers have paid attention to the bioactive compounds, particularly antioxidant activity of polyphenolic compounds in food and beverages, due their positive effect on human body. Therefore, phenolic capacity become an important quality parameter, especially niche markets concerned with health benefits. 
 Wine is excellent source various classes polyphenols. The are re...

Fluxes of sulphur dioxide to wheat were measured over two growing seasons. The deposition velocity, vup, depended primarily on affinities of surfaces for SO2 and varied from less than 0.1 to about 1.5cms-'. Stomata were an important sink, and diurnal changes in stomata1 resistance accounted for most of the variation in v, when leaves were green and dry. When leaves were wet with dew, v, was gen...

Nedocromil sodium is a pyranoquinoline derivative that has been developed for the treatment of asthma. We report the results of a double blind randomised study of the effect of two doses of nedocromil sodium (2 and 4 mg) and matched placebo, delivered by metered dose pressurised aerosol, on bronchoconstriction induced by sulphur dioxide in six asthmatic subjects. Nedocromil sodium had no effect...

The absolute refractive index of liquid sulphur dioxide (SO2) was determined with an uncertainty of ±0.0007 with the help of a Michelson interferometer and a computer-controlled rotatory stage supporting a rectangular fused silica cell, containing the liquid. The measurements were performed at temperatures around 20 ◦C for the laser line wavelengths 632.8, 514.5 and 488.0 nm. The experimental d...

Background & Aim: In order study the effect of Thiobacillus, sulphur and organic materials on vegetative growth and essence production in lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.) was conducted in pots in field condition at Shahrekord, Iran on 2008. Experimental: The factors were ten soil treatments inclusive 200 kg/ha sulphur, 400 kg/ha sulphur, 600 kg/ha sulphur, 200 kg/ha sulphu...

Physicochemical properties and chemism of atmospheric precipitation, influenced by atmospheric air pollution, are a major element affecting contemporary degradation of the natural environment. It is known that water, apart from its function as a partner in physical reactions, is also the carrier of anthropogenic transformation of the natural environment. Acid rain is all the rain, snow, and mis...

OBJECTIVE To examine the effect on hospital presentations for asthma of brief exposures to sulphur dioxide (SO2) (within the range 0-8700 micrograms/m3) emanating from two point sources in a remote rural city of 25,000 people. METHODS A time series analysis of SO2 concentrations and hospital presentations for asthma was undertaken at Mount Isa where SO2 is released into the atmosphere by a co...
