Intercropping Moldavian balm with mung bean is an ecological approach for improving resource productivity. A field experiment was conducted over two growing seasons (2018 and 2019) to determine the effect of fertilizer application on yield essential oil (EO) productivity intercropped bean. The had a two-factor randomized complete block design (RCBD) three replicates. first factor comprised five...

Thyme, mint, and lemon balm were used to determine whether shading conditions could improve the yield, composition, antioxidant, antimicrobial activity in plant essential oils (EOs) comparison with non-shaded plants from an open field. The yield of EOs thyme, balm, was 3.44, 3.96, 0.21 mL/100 g, respectively. Plants covered by nets produced different levels (3.46, 2.20, 0.45 g) after 120 min hy...

In phenylketonuria (PKU), natural protein tolerance is defined as the maximum intake maintaining a blood phenylalanine (Phe) concentration within target therapeutic range. Tolerance affected by several factors, and it may differ throughout person’s lifespan. Data on lifelong Phe/natural are limited mostly reported in studies with low subject numbers. This systematic review aimed to investigate ...

Essential oil (EO) obtained by hydrodistillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus from aerial parts of Nepeta cataria L. var. citriodora (Becker), cultivated Serbia was subjected to gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) determine the composition. Furthermore, N. essential wastested its antimicrobial, antioxidant, antihyperglycemic and anti-inflammatory activities vitro.The antimicrobial act...

A numerical study investigating the interaction process between a converging shock wave and gas bubble placed at an offset location is presented. As first step, for proofing reliability of used scheme, simulation relevant available experimental findings Hosseini Takayama [“Richtmyer–Meshkov instability induced by cylindrical loading gaseous inhomogeneities,” AIAA Paper No. 2000-2464, 2000] [“St...

Yeasts are the most common group of microorganisms responsible for spoilage soft drinks and fruit juices due to their ability withstand juice acidity pasteurization temperatures resist action weak-acid preservatives. Food industries interested in application natural antimicrobial compounds as an alternative solution problem. This study attempts investigate effectiveness three Australian native ...

Chondral lesions frequently occur in different topographic locations of the knee. This study evaluated the functional properties among the articulating surfaces of the tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joints, and whether neo-cartilage engineered using chondrocytes from different knee locations would reflect these differences. The biomechanical properties of bovine cartilage isolated from eight l...

An increased prevalence of nephrolithiasis has been reported in patients with diabetes. Because insulin resistance, characteristic of the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, results in lower urine pH through impaired kidney ammoniagenesis and because a low urine pH is the main factor of uric acid (UA) stone formation, it was hypothesized that type 2 diabetes should favor the formation of UA...

In this study, antifungal activity of essential oils of Cymbopogon citratus and Ocimum basilicum and two fungicides Mancozeb and Metalaxyl-Mancozeb in six different concentrations were investigated for controlling three species of Phytophthora, including P. capsici, P. drechsleri and P. melonis on pepper, cucumber and melon under in vitro and greenhouse conditions, respectively. Under the in vi...
