Blood clams (Anadara granosa) are endemic found in Southeast Asia and East Asia. widely consumed by the public as seafood dishes coastal food stalls. The great potential of blood will increase waste clam shells produced. accumulation shellfish cause pollution reduce environmental aesthetics. chitin content can be used chitosan. Chitosan is a polymer -(1-4) glucosamine which formed when acetyl g...

Strontium thermometry has been suggested as a powerful tool for reconstructing seawater surface temperature (SST). In corals, an inverse relationship between SST and skeletal Sr/Ca ratios has been found. However, this ratio might also vary with calcification, which in turn is dependent on light and temperature. The aim of this study was to improve our knowledge of the uptake of Sr2+ as a functi...

We show how expressions written in a functional programming language can be robustly evaluated on a modular asynchronous spatial computer by compiling them into a distributed virtual machine comprised of reified bytecodes undergoing diffusion and communicating via messages containing encapsulated virtual machine states. Because the semantics of the source language are purely functional, multipl...

Gilman and Philips (8) list several striking similarities between the biological effects of these chemicals and radiation. They report that â€oeActively proliferating cells are selectively vul nerable to the cytotoxic action of the mustards.†• There is general agreement that, in most cases, dividing cells are more sensitive to radiation than resting cells, but recent literature indicates a co...

As an important constituent of animal feeds, fiber represents the portion of feeds that is bulky and difficult to digest. The neutral detergent fiber (NDF) method, developed over 30 years ago, is the method of choice for measuring total fiber in forages and other feeds. Several modifications that were made to improve its general applicability to all feeds and others developed in individual labo...

Water contamination from endocrine disruptors has become a major problem for health issues. Estriol is hormone often detected in several aquatic matrices, due to the inefficient removal of such compounds through conventional water treatment methods. Therefore, there continuous need develop new, efficient, and low-cost methods this removal, as well analytical devices able detect estriol at low c...

Abstract Background Dengue and chikungunya are two mosquito-borne viruses transmitted by the mosquito, Aedes aegypti, responsible for great public health concerns in India. The present study tested effect of Daphnia magna, a freshwater cladoceran, on growth pupation Ae. aegypti larvae. Results third instar larvae adult, D. magna , were introduced ratios 1:1, 1:2 1:3 into beakers placed an illum...

Abstract Aim Recycling of cocoa pod husks has potential to contribute mineral nutrition cocoa. Yet little is known the nutrient content and release patterns from husks. The potassium (K) rich are usually left in heaps plantations Africa. We aimed understand quantify K other nutrients under varying rainfall regimes assessed effects partial decomposition inundation on leaching rates. Methods incu...

The remediation of groundwater containing arsenic is a problem that has been addressed using adsorption processes with granulated materials in columns, but the itself could be improved by micro-sized adsorbents stirred systems. In this study, arsenate (As(V)) batch experiments were performed granular ferric hydroxide (GFH) and two derived materials. Reduced-size produced energetic ball milling,...
