In This research, gold nanoparticles were synthesized and functionalized by the antibody of aflatoxins. The quenching of the fluorescence of excitation emission matrices (EEM) of two type of aflatoxins (B1, G1), provoked by the gold nanoparticles, was studied by principal component analysis (PCA) and multivariate curve resolution with alternating least squares (MCR-ALS). These aflatoxins show q...

The method of weights of evidence is one of the most important data driven methods for mineral potential mapping in GIS. In this method, considering the characteristics of known mineralized locations, we can prospect new mineralized areas. In this research work, the method of weights of evidence has been used for hydrothermal gold potential mapping in Torbat-e-Heydarieh area, east of Iran. As a...

Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is an important subtropical evergreen fruit crop of Sapindaceae family. Fruit cracking a serious problem in litchi happen during growth and its development. affect significant loss economic yield. coincides with period characterized by high day temperature (35-40°C) low relative humidity (60%). Effect water sprinkling over tree canopy on cracking, quality yield w...

The focus is the experimental assessment of insitu flow vectors in a hillslope soil. We selected a 100 m2 trenched hillslope study site. During prescribed sprinkling an obliquely installed TDR wave-guide provides for the velocity of the wetting front in its direction. A triplet of wave-guides mounted along the sides of an hypothetical tetrahedron, with its peak pointing down, produces a three-d...

Haploid microspore-derived embryos (MDEs) of wheat were obtained by in vitro androgenesis. These  embryos were employed to evaluate the transient expression of GUS gene (uidA) following particle bombardment. Using the Bio-Rad PDS-1000/He system, the physical parameters including rupture disk pressure (900, 1100 and 1350 psi); microprojectile travel distance (6 and 9 cm); gold particles size (0....

OBJECTIVE To compare topical diphenylhydantion (Phenytoin) with silver sulphadiazine/chlorhexidine (Silverex) in terms of rate of wound healing, analgesic and antibacterial properties in small to moderate-sized (< 30% TBSA) superficial dermal (second degree) burn wounds. DESIGN A prospective randomized controlled study. SETTING Surgical wards, Muhimbili National Hospital from July 2000 to F...

The relationship between tracer velocities and wave or wetting front celerities is essential to understand water flowing from hillslopes to the stream. The connection between maximum velocity and celerities estimated by means of experimental techniques has not been explored. To assess the pattern of infiltrating water front and dominant flow direction, we performed sprinkling experiments at a t...
