BACKGROUND Zinc in human seminal plasma is divided into three types of ligands which are high (HMW), intermediate (IMW), and low molecular weight ligands (LMW). The present study was aimed to study the effect of Zn supplementation on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of semen along with Zinc Binding Protein levels in the seminal plasma in asthenozoospermic patients. METHODS Sem...

Seed mediated aqueous chemical growth (ACG) route was used for the growth of ZnO nanostructures on Si substrate in four different growth mediums. The growth medium has shown to affect the morphology and the size of the different nanostructures. We observed that the medium containing zinc nitrate anions yields the nanorods, in a medium containing zinc acetate anions nano-candles are obtained. Wh...

The experiment was conducted in the lath house of Hawija Horticultural Station/ Horticulture Department/ Ministry Agriculture, during 2021 growing season on one-year-old lemon Transplants. (local species). This study to compare effect some sources iron and zinc their interaction vegetative growth characteristics Tranplants. included two factors: at four levels (control, ferrous sulfate, chelate...

A field experiment was carried out at the research station of College Agriculture, University Anbar, for spring season 2021-2022 to study effect adding organic fertilizer and spraying with zinc sulfate on two cultivars Solanum tuberosum L. The as a factorial within design completely randomized sectors (RCBD); first factor included composting transactions ten Control treatment, chemical fertiliz...

Zinc electrowinning is performed with the application of a current through insoluble electrodes (Pb-Ag), causing the electrolysis of zinc sulfate, with or without impurities, and zinc deposition on the cathode of aluminum. The impurities can reduce the current efficiency and increase the energy consumption in zinc electrolysis. In this work, the effect of nickel and magnesium on zinc electrodep...

A two-stage passive treatment approach was assessed at a bench-scale level using two Colorado Mining Influenced Waters (MIWs). The first-stage was a limestone drain with the purpose of removing iron and aluminum and mitigating the potential effects of mineral acidity. The second stage was a sulfate reducing bioreactor composed solely of 50% corn stover and 50% walnut shells by volume. The prima...

introduction :mucositis is a disturbing side effect of radiotherapy treatment for head and neck cancer. to date, no effective modality for its prophylaxis and treatment has been found. we performed this study to evaluate the efficacy of oral zinc sulphate in delaying the onset of oral and pharyngeal mucositis and decreasing their severity. materials and methods : a total of 58 patients who were...

Male hamsters are very dependent on chemosensory cues for normal mating behavior. We have previously reported that central, vomeronasal pathways are intensely and selectively activated during mating or pheromonal stimulation. The contribution of main olfactory sensory input to the patterns of c-fos activation was investigated in this study. Sexually inexperienced male hamsters were either made ...
