This work investigates the potential of Rubus ulmifolius, indigenous to a metal contaminated site--Esteiro de Estarreja--for phytoremediation purposes. The site has a long history of metal contamination. The accumulation of lead (Pb), arsenic (As) and nickel (Ni) in different sections--roots, stems and leaves - of the plant was assessed and compared to the levels of those metals in the soil and...

Trace elements play a significant role in biological processes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the trace elements of interest in kidney disease in commonly consumed greenhouse vegetables in Isfahan, Iran. Six kinds of greenhouse vegetables namely; Raphanus sativus (Radish), Cucumis sativus (Cucamber), Solanum lycopersicum (Tomato), green Capsicum annuum (Green bell pepper), yellow Capsic...

Clerodendrum colebrookianum Walp. and infortunatum L. are well known for their medicinal uses in treating various human ailments traditionally. Pollen biology study was done both plant species to decipher pollen viability, vitro germination, storage varied temperature conditions. viability tests by 2, 3, 5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC test) which grains were collected at the anthesis sta...

the aim of this study was to determine the inhibitory effects of feed ingredients on protease activities of argyrosomus regius larvae using in vitro techniques. a. regius larvae fed on a commercial feeding procedure were sampled thirteen times, during the sampling period (from 3 to 32 days after hatching (dah)). the differences observed in protease activities of meagre larvae during the samplin...

Objective: Diabetes causes free radical production, oxidative stress and alterations in mitochondrial enzymes and apoptosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise and consumption of L-carnitine on BCL2 and some mitochondrial enzymes of the kidney in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 45 male wistar rats (200-300 gr) were simp...

The pharmacokinetic studies of enrofloxacin were investigated in yak (Bos grunniens L.) after administration of enrofloxacin by intramuscular route at 5 mgkg-1 body weight. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein at predetermined time intervals after drug administration. Plasma was separated and analysed for enrofloxacin by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Variou...

We report on a simple technique that characterizes the effect of process parameters (i.e., pressure, RF power, and gas mixture) on the optical emission and mass spectra of CHFJO2 plasma. This technique is sensitive to changes in chamber contamination levels (e.g., formation of Teflon-like thin-film), and appears to be a promising tool for real-time monitoring and control of reactive ion etching...

Limonium stocksii (Boiss.) Kuntze (Plumbaginaceae) is a perennial, woody shrub distributed at Hawks Bay, Karachi, Pakistan. Experiments were carried out to investigate seed germination responses of L. stocksii at different salinities (0, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 mmol/L NaCl) and under different temperature regimes (10:20, 15:25, 20:30, and 25:35 °C), both in a 12 h dark : 12 h light photoper...

Production, viscosity, and chemical composition of xanthan synthesized by bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv pruni strain 101 were evaluated in bioreactor systems. During the process, the volumetric oxygen mass transfer coefficient (k(L)a) and the biomass were determined and the pH was monitored. The cultures were grown in a 3 I bioreactor, with aeration and agitation varying as follows: condi...
