The major plant nutrient magnesium (Mg) is involved in numerous physiological processes and its deficiency can severely reduce the yield and quality of crops. Since Mg availability in soil and uptake into the plant is often limited by unfavorable soil or climatic conditions, application of Mg onto leaves, the site with highest physiological Mg demand, might be a reasonable alternative fertiliza...

BACKGROUND Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterised by airways inflammation, constriction of airway smooth muscle and structural alteration of the airways that is at least partially reversible. Exacerbations of asthma can be life threatening and place a significant burden on healthcare services. Various guidelines have been published to inform management personnel in the acute se...

the objective of the present study was to investigate the role of nanocarrier of magnetic isotope of 25-mg2+ (pmc16) in liver toxicity, atp content and oxidative stress due to malathion (mal) exposure. pmc16 nanoparticle were administered in different doses (0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 ld50) intravenously (iv) 40 minutes after a single mal (0.25 ld50= 207 mg/kg) intraperitoneal (ip) injection as a comple...

Background:Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is widely considered as the disease of elderly white men. Inflammation is one of the most well-known mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of AAA. Magnesium is one of the most important minerals in the body with established anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of Mg loading following AAA surgery on two inflamma...

Reverse electrodialysis (RED) is a renewable energy-generating SGE technique using energy from salinity gradients. This research investigates the effect of membrane and feed characteristics on reverse power generation. Some investigations process parameters for complement main study were also conducted. The generated RED was measured density analysis. experiments performed artificial seawater v...

Aspergillus niger reproduces asexually by forming conidia. Here, the minimal nutrient requirements were studied that activate germination of A. To this end, was monitored in time using an oCelloScope imager. Data used as input asymmetric model to describe process swelling and germ tube formation. The maximum number spores (Pmax) activated swell form tubes 32.54% 20.51%, respectively, medium wit...

Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) has been widely used in the perinatal arena for many decades. It has been used for tocolysis in the U.S. for more than 60 years. Estimations of MgSO4 use for preterm labor (less than 34 weeks of gestation) run as high as 80 percent. Magnesium sulfate is a smooth, skeletal, and cardiac muscle depressant. It is used for preterm labor because of its potential to decrease ...

To improve biodegradability (% biodegradation) and specific growth rate of Rhodococcus pyridinivorans NT2, culture medium and environmental parameters were screened and optimized using the statistical design techniques of Plackett-Burman and response surface methodology. Of the process variables screened, DNTs (2,4-DNT and 2,6-DNT), MgSO4·7H2O, temperature and inoculum size (O.D.) were selected...
