BACKGROUND Following an outbreak of yellow fever in northern Uganda in December 2010, Ministry of Health conducted a massive emergency vaccination campaign in January 2011. The reported vaccination coverage in Pader District was 75.9%. Administrative coverage though timely, is affected by incorrect population estimates and over or under reporting of vaccination doses administered. This paper pr...

Background & Aims of the Study: Dyes have significant role in environmental problems, due to their toxic effects on the food chain and sources of water. The purpose of this research was to study the adsorption of acid yellow 36 dye onto pinecone using batch system. Materials & Methods: This research was performed at laboratory scale and batch system. Equilibrium isotherms...

BACKGROUND Intermittent iron-folic acid supplementation and regular de-worming are effective initiatives to reduce anemia, iron deficiency, iron deficiency anemia, and soil transmitted helminth infections in women of reproductive age. However, few studies have assessed the long-term effectiveness of population-based interventions delivered in resource-constrained settings. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIP...

in this study, a new adsorbent, silver nanoparticle loaded on activated carbon (ag˗np˗ac) was used for removal of acid yellow199 (ay 199) dye. this novel material was characterized and identified by different techniques such as brunauer, emmett and teller (bet), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem), x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis. unique properties of this adsorbent such as hig...

Colorless when pure, older samples tend to acquire a yellow cast due to the accumulation of oxides of nitrogen. If the solution contains more than 86% nitric acid, it is referred to as fuming nitric acid. Fuming nitric acid is characterized as white fuming nitric acid and red fuming nitric acid, depending on the amount of nitrogen dioxide present. At concentrations above 95% at room temperature...

The capacity of several coat protein (CP) mutants of a German isolate of barley yellow mosaic bymovirus (BaYMV) to bind of nucleic acids was studied in vitro. Recombinant CP, produced by overexpression in Escherichia coli, was purified from inclusion bodies and subsequently renatured. Binding to single-stranded (ss) RNA and ssDNA oligonucleotides was found to be cooperative and sequence non-spe...

The proximate composition, amino acid and fatty acid composition in the muscle of wild, inshore and offshore cage-cultured large yellow croaker (Pseudosciaena crocea) were determined to identify nutritional differences. Wild fish groups showed highest content of moisture and crude protein, but lowest lipid content. Offshore cage-cultured fish showed significantly higher content of moisture and ...
