Abstract The production of shallots has been decreasing, one the factors causing it is soil degradation that caused by continuously use chemicals. Thus damaging and killing natural enemies. Soil improvement can be done adding organic material, minerals, optimizing function biological agents. Trichoderma sp agents ability to degrade soil. This study aimed determine effect form different applicat...

Microbial activity in produced water from hydraulic fracturing operations can lead to undesired environmental impacts and increase gas production costs. However, the metabolic profile of these microbial communities is not well understood. Here, for the first time, we present results from a shotgun metagenome of microbial communities in both hydraulic fracturing source water and wastewater produ...

The genetic alteration of mit-DNA affects the mitochondrial activity, main responsible of cell respiration in biological systems. The chance to investigate, indirectly and through bed-side evaluation, the mitochondria functionality and microvessels dynamics opens new ways to understand and face the very beginning states of Coronary Artery Disease, CAD, even silent and not yet clinically diagnos...

The aim of this study was to compare the clinical, biological, and radiologic features of presentation in the emergency ward of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) by Legionella pneumophila (LP) and other community-acquired bacterial pneumonias to help in early diagnosis of CAP by LP. Three hundred ninety-two patients with CAP were studied prospectively in the emergency department of a 600-bed u...

the effect of tillage (conventional and zero tillage), crop establishment (raised-bed and flat-bed), and weed management practices (herbicide alone and integrated approach) was studied on productivity, profitability, nutrient uptake and physico-chemical properties of soil in soybean–wheat cropping system, at new delhi during 2010–2012. sixteen treatment combinations consisting of four tillage a...

Additive manufacturing techniques can produce complex, high-value metal parts, with potential applications as critical metal components such as those found in aerospace engines and as customized biomedical implants. Material porosity in these parts is undesirable for aerospace parts - since porosity could lead to premature failure - and desirable for some biomedical implants - since surface-bre...

A comparison of adsorption efficiency of the three Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) produced from waste Nigerian Bamboo at different level of activation in a fixed adsorption bed is reported. Bamboo carbonization was done at temperature range of 200-400c and chemically activated at 400c with chloride salt at percentage range of 0-20%. The 0, 10 and 20% level activation were selected for water tr...

Various components of body image were measured to assess body image disturbances in patients with obesity. To overcome limitations of previous studies, a photo distortion technique and a biological motion distortion device were included to assess static and dynamic aspects of body image. Questionnaires assessed cognitive-affective aspects, bodily attitudes, and eating behavior. Patients with ob...

The rheumatic diseases have become a test bed for new therapies in chronic inflammatory immune-mediated diseases – and rightly so. The inflammatory response is relatively easy to quantify, and validated outcome measures are available that permit investigation of efficacy over short periods of time. The late 1990s and early 2000s heralded the era of biological therapy, pioneered in diseases such...

The genetic alteration of mit-DNA affects the mitochondrial activity, main responsible of cell respiration in biological systems. The chance to investigate, indirectly and through bed-side evaluation, the mitochondria functionality, with the support or chaos theory, opens new ways to understand and face the very beginning states of Coronary Artery Disease – CAD, even silent and not yet clinical...
