Aquaculture is currently responsible for an insignificant proportion of total fish production in Uganda. However, given increasing demand for fresh fish in urban and peri-urban areas, and threats to the supply of fish from natural catch fisheries there seems to be a potentially strong market for fish and fish products produced by aquaculturalists. Small-scale fish farmers that are relatively cl...

The use of desalination technologies which produce concentrated brines is acutely limited by inadequate waste brine disposal mechanisms such that the brine does not contaminate fresh water resources. The treatment of highly saline brine using freeze desalination technique trade marked as HybridICE technology was investigated at pilot scale. The capacity of the HybridICE process to generate fres...

Macergens are bacteria causing great damages to the parenchymatous tissues of vegetable both on the field and in transit. To effectively and rapidly investigate the diversity and distribution of these macergens, four specific primers were designed by retrieving 16S rDNA sequences of pectolytic bacteria from GenBank through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). These were ali...

Field tests in 2010-2011 were performed in New York, Minnesota, Maryland, Ohio, and Georgia to compare Bt sweet corn lines expressing Cry1A.105 + Cry2Ab2 and Cry1Ab with their non-Bt isolines, with and without the use of foliar insecticides. The primary insect pest in all locations during the trial years was Heliocoverpa zea (Boddie), which is becoming the most serious insect pest of sweet corn...

BACKGROUND Thromboelastography (TEG) is an established way of monitoring the coagulation status of children and adults requiring blood products during surgery. Serial measurements are performed using a nearside machine and blood product prescription may be titrated against changes in TEG. There may also be useful applications when the patient is remote from the TEG machine but these are limited...

The main concern of food processing is to satisfy the demand excellent quality product and safety concerns related product. Nanotechnology has contributed a lot in area eatable production, preservation wrapping by increasing shelf life. applications are not limited up fresh foods, novel products also being designed through nano-delivery systems which act as supplement carriers process. Packagin...

Abstract Storage of fresh ground chilies using fish ponds has been found as a new storage technique and is expected to be an environmentally friendly alternative. In this study, organoleptic changes were observed in stored ponds. This study aims observe characteristics chili pond so obtain more valid data on the utility food product containers. Fresh are low density poleethylene plastic then I ...

INTRODUCTION Cardiac operations account for a large proportion of the blood transfusions given each year, leading to high costs and an increased risk to patient safety. Therefore, it is important to explore initiatives to reduce transfusion rates. This study aims to provide a benchmark for transfusion practice by inter-hospital comparison of transfusion rates, blood product use and costs relate...

Dry biomass of algae is a good source of nutrients and biologically active substances, which in the last years attracted the interest of the specialists in their search for natural, ecologically and healthy sound foods for the animals. The aim of the present study was to characterize the chemical composition and the nutritive value of the dry biomass of fresh water algae of Chlorella genus cult...
