the ph dependence study reveals that the cys 206 sulphydryl group of bovine carbonicanhydrase in the native form is not exposed. during the reaction of 2,2'-dithiobispyridine (2-dtp) with the enzyme, there was no absorbance change recorded. in the presence ofsurfactants, the ph dependence profiles of the apparent second order rate constants, kapp, forthe reaction of 2-dtp with bovine carbo...

water scarcity, its necessity in food production, and environmental protection in the world have forced human beings to seek new water sources. nowadays, application of unconventional water resources (wastewater) has been proposed in countries facing the crisis of water resources shortage; however, a few studies have dealt with this issue. the present study has evaluated the changes in the elem...

Experiments were carried out on the survival and growth of Rasbora daniconius, Puntius ticto and Puntius conchonius. The motivation of the study was to obtain information for growing the fish on a commercial scale for their use as biological control agents against mosquito larvae. The effects of temperature, total hardness, DO, pH and feed on the growth of fish were also investigated. Excessive...

The groundwater quality was assessed nearby places of Nagalkeni, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The selected physico-chemical parameters were pH, EC, TDS, total hardness (TH), anions like Ca, Mg, Na and K, and cations like SO4, NO3, Cl2, HCO3, and CO3, and Cr(VI). In order to suit the groundwater for drinking and irrigation purposes, compared the value of selected parameters with the value of sele...
