The improper management of goat manure from concentrated feeding operations and food waste leads to the emission greenhouse gasses water pollution in US. wastes were collected International Goat Research Center a dining facility at Prairie View A&M University. biochemical methane potential these two substrates mono co-digestion varied proportions was determined triplicates processes evaluat...

We have developed a system for rapid typing of adenoviruses (Ads) based on a combination of PCR and restriction endonuclease (RE) digestion (PCR-RE digestion). Degenerated consensus primers were designed, allowing amplification of DNA from all 51 human Ad prototype strains and altogether 44 different genome variants of Ad serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 11, 19, 40, and 41. The 301-bp amplimer of 22 pr...

The coexistence of different ungulate species in a given ecosystem has been the focus of many studies. Differences between ruminant foregut fermenters and hindgut fermenters were remarkable for example in the way they ingest and digest high fibre diets. Digestion trials based on total collections are difficult to conduct or are sometimes even not possible for wild animals in the field or in zoo...

in process of sucrose determination in sugar beet, pulp analysis by polarometric method is done on the basis of fresh root weight .the volume of the juice of 26 grams of the pulp is considered 23 ml that with 177 ml of clarifying agent would be 200 ml. drought stress and dehydrated root reduce. the volume of the pulp extract of 23 ml. the objective of this experiment was to determine the proper...

Iodine is an essential micronutrient especially important in the neurodevelopment of infants. Spot samples of urinary iodine (UI) are used as an epidemiologic index of adult iodine nutrition. Individual infant iodine nutrition is of vital importance, but infant urine is difficult to collect, much less a 24 h sample. Monitoring the intake provides a pragmatic solution for determining infant iodi...

Deposition of titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) on activated carbon (AC) surface has been widely utilized for the production of TiO(2)/AC photocatalyst, which can be used in photo-degradation of pollutants. In this work, a fast and simple digestion procedure has been developed for the spectrophotometric quantitative analysis of TiO(2) in TiO(2)/AC photocatalyst. Microwave-assisted digestion was used in...

The separation of biologically active, pure, and specific tRNAs is difficult due to the overall similarity in secondary and tertiary structures of different tRNAs. Because prior methods do not facilitate high-resolution separations of the extremely complex mixture represented by a cellular tRNA population, global studies of tRNA identity and/or abundance are difficult. We have discovered that t...

Four ruminally cannulated, nonlactating Holstein cows (593 kg) were fed bromegrass hay diets within a 4 X 4 Latin square. Treatments were arranged factorially and consisted of bromegrass fertilized with 0 or 89 kg N/ha and harvested in the late-boot or full-head stage of maturity. Total tract digestibility of DM (57.6 vs 51.1%), NDF (68.8 vs 63.0%), ADF (51.1 vs 46.0%) and cellulose (63.4 vs 53...

Anaerobic digestion of organic waste plays an important role for the development of sustainable energy supply based on renewable resources. For further process optimization of anaerobic digestion, biogas production with the commonly used substrates, grass, maize, and green weed silage, together with industrial glycerine, were analyzed by the Weender analysis/van Soest method, and a simulation s...

This manuscript describes a new protocol for determination of Pa/Th/U in marine sediments. It is based on microwave-assisted digestion and represents an important reduction of working time over conventional hot-plate digestion methods, and the use of HClO(4) is avoided. Although Th and U are completely dissolved with a first microwave step, around 40% of (231)Pa remains undissolved, and a short...
