The variables affecting determination of ultra trace levels of uranium (VI) in aqueous samples by differential pulse cathodic stripping voltammetry were examined in detail using Hg-thin film modified carbon paste and multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) incorporated carbon paste electrode. Carbon paste electrode prepared in the laboratory was modified with Hg thin film and used as the working elec...

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) seed and oil have long been used widely as healthy foods to supply energy and prevent aging. Some of the main active anti-oxidative constituents in sesame seeds are γ-tocopherol and phenols. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between roasting temperature and time with γ-tocopherol and total phenolic compounds (TPC) of sesame seeds when roas...

To the Editor: Although there is unanimous agreement that epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis, many with food allergy have not been prescribed an epinephrine auto-injector (EAI). As part of our nationwide Canadian study on the prevalence of food allergy, households from the 10 Canadian provinces were randomly selected from the electronic white pages and were telephoned betwe...

Mungbean is the most important crop in arid Rajasthan. Improving productivity by improving soil fertility essential for farmers' economic viability. The effect of sulphur graded doses on yield attributes mungbean grown as (mungbean + sesame) intercropping was studied field. For these four levels, viz., 0, 15, 30, and 45 kg ha-1 five systems, sole sesame, sesame 2:1, 3:1, 4:1. Harvest index, MEY...

purpose : to evaluate the effects of topical sesame oil in the treatment of severe corneal alkali injury in rabbits methods : in a double-blind experiment, 30 healthy white rabbits were randomized into a sesame oil treatment group (n=15) and a control group (n=15). under general anesthesia, severe corneal alkali injuries were induced by application of 1 n sodium hydroxide for 40 seconds to the ...

in order to investigate the effect of crop row spacing and cocklebur (xanthium strumarium) densities on height, leaf area index and total dry matter of two sesame cultivars, a field experiment was conducted in 2009-2010 growing season at research farm of university of agricultural sciences and natural resources of gorgan, iran. the experiment was established as factorial arrangement using a ran...

Lycopene is known to decrease cardiovascular risks. The objective of this study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms of tomato paste containing approximately 0.1% lycopene in regulating lipid metabolism and oxidation. Hamsters fed 3% or 9% tomato paste containing 0.2% cholesterol were subjected to total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL), and ...

This study aimed to compare the apical sealing of root-end fillings performed with Lysanda (zinc oxide-eugenol paste) with radiopacifiers (iodoform or zinc oxide) and calcium hydroxide. Root-end cavities were prepared and filled with different materials, as follows: Group I - Lysanda paste with iodoform; Group II - Lysanda paste with iodoform and calcium hydroxide; Group III - Lysanda paste wit...

Solder paste is a homogeneous, stable suspension of solder powder particles suspended in a flux binder, and is one of the most important process materials today in surface mount technology (SMT). By varying the solder particle size, distribution and shape, as well as the other constituent materials, the rheology and printing performance of solder pastes can be controlled. Paste flow behavior is...
