A simple method for preparing bio-functionalized soluble single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is described. Different proteins such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), cytochrome c and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were used to solubilize low functionality SWNTs in water aided by sonication. The unbound proteins were removed by column chromatography and the SWNT-protein conjugate was used as the so...

Mr. AB, 44 years old, with no particular history. He presented for penile neoplasm which had evolved over the past year, associated with urinary symptoms such as dysuria and pollakiuria, in a state of apyrexia and conservation of his general condition. External genital examination revealed 3 fixed, exophytic, red, "cauliflower" like tumors with whitish central ulceration. The pelvic IRM showed ...

A blanket fertilizer was recommended by the Department of Agriculture (DOA) for all species cabbage. However, application is needed to be site-specific. Hence a field experiment conducted at Ambalangoda during Maha season in 2019 with objective evaluating effect Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg) and Boron (B) on yield Quality cauliflower. Batapola soil analyzed available nutrients identified most de...

The most pervasive and harmful illness is cruciferous black spot disease. This disease starts to show symptoms as soon the seed emerges from soil continues all through growth season. In regions designated for seeds, cabbages left storage, areas planted human consumption, seen. Alternaria mostly affects plants’ organs responsible generating it severely damages pods seeds. leaves bulbs of crucife...

The effectiveness of three kinds of enzymes (chitinase, β-glucuronidase, and lysing enzyme complex), employed as elicitors to enhance the β-glucan content in the sawdust-based cultivation of cauliflower mushroom (Sparassis latifolia), was examined. The elicitors were applied to the cauliflower mushroom after primordium formation, by spraying the enzyme solutions at three different levels on the...

Current work deals with the design of a fuzzy reasoning system capable of selecting the most appropriate threshold to binarize a sequence of cauliflower crop images. Binary images speed up the processing time to detect the crops and calculate their position. The proposed threshold algorithm is based on a performance criterion, the emergence of a binary image wherein cauliflowers are easily dist...

Vermicompost singly and in binary combination with different biopesticide were used in agricultural field to control the infestation of nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) and high yield of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea) crop. Mixing of binary combination of vermicompost with neem oil (94%) in the soil caused significant reduction in M. incognita. The combination of garlic extract with different ...

Phosphatidyl inositol has been isolated from cauliflower inflorescence and soybean. Analysis of the fatty acid distribution showed that unsaturated fatty acids were preferred at position 2, and that saturated fatty acids were preferred at position 1.Mitochondrial preparations from cauliflower inflorescence were capable of synthesizing phosphatidyl inositol from myo-inositol and cytidine diphosp...

Acute auricular hematoma can be caused by direct blunt trauma or other injury to the external ear. It is typically seen in those who practice full contact sports such as boxing, wrestling, and rugby. "Cauliflower ear" deformity, fibrocartilage formation during scarring, is a common complication of auricular hematomas. Therefore, acute drainage of the hematoma and postprocedural techniques for p...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of cover crops on pest/beneficial dynamics and to test the potential of living mulch on enhancing biological control against insect pests. The research, carried out in the frame of the InterVeg (Core Organic II) project, involved four European countries: Germany, Slovenia, Denmark and Italy. Three crops were tested: cauliflower, leek and artichok...
