[1] During reactive fluid flow in saturated fractures, the relative rates of dissolved mineral transport and local reactions strongly influence local aperture alterations and the resulting changes in fracture permeability (or transmissivity). In the presence of an entrapped residual nonaqueous phase (e.g., CO2 or oil), the spatial distribution of the entrapped phase will influence flow and tran...

Aim: We investigated the application of fluorescein (FL)-entrapped magnetosomes, in other words, silica-coated iron oxide nanoparticles entrapped within niosomes (SIO/NIO), magnetically assisted photodynamic therapy (PDT) vitro. Methods: Panc-1 cells were treated with and without external magnetic guidance, irradiated blue light. Results & conclusion: Upon photoactivation, FL-entrapped magn...

A case is presented of a patient whose lip became entrapped onto his orthodontic bracket following a blow to his face during a contact sport. The entrapped mucosa had to be released surgically.

A study was undertaken to determine the effects of different biofertilizers on growth and seed barley, Bahman cultivar in Iran. The trial was laid out in RCBD with split plot arrangement having three replications during 2011-12 and at Boroujerd, Iran. Treatments were three nitrogen biofrtilizers (Nitroksin, Nitrokara and Supernitroplass) and three phosphate  biofrtilizers (Phosphate barvar2, Bi...

Biofertilizer can be used to replace chemical fertilizer so that soil quality is maintained and pollution avoided. The study aimed determine the effect of biofertilizers with different compositions microorganisms on growth maize plants. research was carried out in a greenhouse. Maize plants were fertilized by two kinds microorganisms. first biofertilizer contained Azotobacter sp, Azospirillum R...

A Bacillus sp. which is capable of degrading dimethylphthalate (DMP) was immobilized in calcium alginate and polyurethane foam for efficient and long term degradation of DMP. Freely suspended cells (10(12) cfu ml-1) degraded a maximum of 20 mM DMP. Whereas, alginate-(10(12)cfu g-1 beads) and polyurethane foam-entrapped (0.34 x 10(6-9) cfu g-1 foam cubes) cells degraded a maximum of 40 mM DMP wi...

Liposome-entrapped rifampin (RFP) was examined for therapeutic efficacy against experimental infection induced in mice by the Mycobacterium avium complex. Intraperitoneal injections (once daily, six times weekly) of liposome-entrapped RFP led to a greater reduction in bacterial growth in the lungs and spleen of infected mice than did free RFP alone. Liposome-entrapped RFP given to mice via the ...
