We carried out the study on NiTiO3 synthesized via citrate-gel method. Structural characteristics were determined by XRD and SEM. The impedance spectra analysis was used to elucidate dependence of complex values temperature frequency. correlation between DC-conductivity inverse presented it complied with semiconductor behavior Arrhenius type. real dielectric constant, loss AC-conductivity repor...

Expression of ferric citrate receptor FecA by Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from bovine mastitis was investigated. Transformant E. coli UT5600/pSV66, which produces large quantities of FecA in the presence of citrate, was constructed. The FecA of E. coli UT5600/pSV66 was purified by preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and used to prepare p...

During in vitro incubation of rat adipose tissue in a medium containing crystalline serum albumin, a thiobarbituric acid-reacting chromogen (presumably malonaldehyde) appears in the medium, reflecting peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the tissue. Albumin which has been dialyzed, treated with EDTA and dialyzed, or subjected to gel filtration shows a markedly decreased ability to sup...

Genomic libraries of Mycobacterium leprae DNA partially digested with Pst I were constructed in the expression vector pYA626, which contains the promoter region from the Streptococcus mutans gene encoding aspartate beta-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, which is very efficiently expressed in Escherichia coli. We have detected several clones that complement a mutation in the citrate synthase gene of E...

An acid buffering bioadhesive vaginal (ABBV) gel was developed for the treatment of mixed vaginal infections. Different bioadhesive polymers were evaluated on the basis of their bioadhesive strength, stability and drug release properties. Bioadhesion and release studies showed that guar gum, xanthan gum and hydroxypropyl methylcelullose K4M formed a good combination of bioadhesive polymers to d...

In this work, an simple and fast method based solid phase extraction for preconcentration and separation of trace amount of Fe(III) ions from water samples prior to its determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) was developed. The silver nanoparticles coated silica gel was modified by morin and then it was used as a adsorbent. The silver nanoparticle coated silica gel was prep...

Barium hexafemte doped with iridium was synthesized by two methods: the citrate gel and the polyacrylamide gel methods. The nature of phases obtained and the specific surface area were determined after heat treatments in air at 700°C, 900°C and in air containing 10% humidity at 1200°C. The catalytic activity in the combustion of methane was measured after heat treatment at 900°C. These hexaferr...

A seven month old male baby was admitted to NICU of BPKIHS, Dharan with dyspnoea and distress. He was investigated for hemolytic anemia and suspected of β Thalassemia (Homozygous) based on the low level of Hb and high HbF%. To investigate further, Hb electrophoresis was carried out using agar gel and citrate agar gel at pH 8.6 and 6.0 respectively along with control. Electrophoretogram showed s...

BACKGROUND A bacterial strain previously isolated from pyrite mine drainage and named BAS-10 was tentatively identified as Klebsiella oxytoca. Unlikely other enterobacteria, BAS-10 is able to grow on Fe(III)-citrate as sole carbon and energy source, yielding acetic acid and CO2 coupled with Fe(III) reduction to Fe(II) and showing unusual physiological characteristics. In fact, under this growth...
