Farmed and wild samples of two weight Cirrhinus viz., 501-900 g and 901-1300 g of Cirrhinus mrigala were collected from a Commercial Fish Farm and from river Chenab at Trimu Head Jhang, respectively. The extracted residues were pesticides analyzed through reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique. Endosulfan α, p, p’-DDT, methamidophos, carbofuran, diazinon, parathio...

Field populations of Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari), Plutella xylostella (L.), Spodoptera exigua (Hübner), Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) and Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) were tested for resistance to several insecticides commonly used in Nicariagua. Assays were conducted to estimate the LD50s or LC50s and the corresponding resistance ratios. A diagnostic concentration was used to discriminate between s...

Organophosphorus pesticides have been used extensively especially in tropical countries to control of agricultural pests. However, much of the food we eat contain pesticide residues. Analyses of organophosphorus compounds (OP) residues are carried out worldwide because of their potential health hazardous effect on humans. In this study, hard cheese was monitored for (OP) using ion trap GCMS/MS....

In this paper, a novel nano crystalline sodalite was synthesized and characterized by XRF, XRD, SEM and FTIR analysis. Cu2O nanoparticles (30-60 nm) were loaded on nano zeolite bed and utilized as an adsorbent to remove dimethyl phthalate. The SEM-EDX of modified zeolite indicates that the amount of copper loading on the zeolite was 4.5 wt%. Modified nano zeolite was used as an effective adsorb...

introduction: curcumin is the active ingredient in the traditional herbal remedy and dietary spice turmeric (curcuma longa). curcumin has a surprisingly wide range of beneficial properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic activity. on basis of recent studies; it has antifungal and antibacterial effects. the aim of this study was in-vitro evaluation...

the effect of modified vitrification was assessed on cellular development capability in mouse embryos cultured in vitro. in this study, 466 embryos (from zygote to morula stages) were vitrified then thawed embryos have been incubated for in vitro farther development up to blastocyst stage. also, vitrification and thawing procedures were the same for all experimental groups. mouse different embr...

We examined the effects of a variety of amendments on the consumption of [U-C]dimethyl sulfide in a Georgia salt marsh. Methylated compounds, particularly those with dimethyl groups, significantly inhibited dimethyl sulfide consumption, while nonmethylated substrates had little effect. Dimethyl disulfide and dimethyl ether were the most effective inhibitors tested.
