Cnidoscolus quercifolius is a common plant species with multiple uses from Brazilian semiarid area (BSA). Their seeds have dormancy. Fact that needs to be resolved in favor of the growing demand produce seedlings this species, mainly for recovery degraded areas BSA. Non-acidic technologies such as water immersion and ultrasound are testing promote uniform emergence vigor many species. The objec...

This study investigated whether the estimation error of volume-weighted mean body temperature (DeltaT(b)) using changes in core and skin temperature can be accounted for using personal and environmental parameters. Whole body calorimetry was used to directly measure DeltaT(b) in an Experimental group (EG) of 36 participants (24 males, 12 females) and a Validation group (VG) of 20 (9 males, 11 f...

Bovine serum albumin (BSA), polyethylene glycol (PEG) and lignosulfonate (LS) have been extensively employed as synergistic agents in lignocellulose saccharification. Nevertheless, the promoting mechanisms not fully understood there are a number of controversial opinions existed. All attention has paid to interactions between respective additive substrate. However, rarely additives enzymes (cel...

The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy separating X- and Y-sperm using nano-albumen (NA). material used in fresh semen Ongole Crossbreed bulls with progressive motility ≥ 70%. Treatments for top bottom fractions were T0 (BSA 5% : 10%) as a control, T1 (NA 2% 4%), T2 4% 6%), T3 6% 8%). Sexed evaluated characteristics kinematics, proportions sexed validated morphometric polymer...

We utilized fluorescence microscopy and affinity-purified antibodies to probe the form and function of cytoplasmic actin in endothelial cells (EC) recovering from injury and grown on extracellular matrices in vitro. Bovine aortic EC were seeded onto glass microscope coverslips that had been coated with either BSA, fibronectin, type I and III (interstitial) collagens, type IV (basement membrane)...

Rabbit alveolar macrophages express a plasma-membrane receptor that recognizes glycoprotein ligands bearing terminal mannose, fucose or N-acetylglucosamine residues. Macrophage membranes were washed extensively with buffers containing high salt and mannose or EDTA to remove endogenously bound ligand, before Triton X-100 extraction. The extracts were chromatographed on mannose-Sepharose. Elution...
