3 Alachlor [2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)-N-(methoxymethyl)acetamide] is a 4 widely used herbicide that has been identified as a groundwater contaminant. Several 5 slow-release formulations (SRFs) of this herbicide have been examined for their 6 capacity to reduce its leaching and enhance weed control. A field experiment was 7 performed to determine alachlor leaching and bioefficacy in: (i) a ...

First published May 8, 2013; doi:10.1152/jn.00913.2012.—The timing of neurotransmitter release from neurons can be modulated by many presynaptic mechanisms. The retina uses synaptic ribbons to mediate slow graded glutamate release from bipola...

One effort to reduce nitrogen loss is make the fertilizer in a form of slow-release. SRF method can be done conventionally based on centrifugal force. Nitrogen release from UZA fertilizers generally decreased during incubation period. Urea slow-release combination zeolite and humic acid applied soil media rate nitrate release. In this case, it necessary identify effect ready modifying acid. Inc...

Microspheres formulated from poly (D,L-lactic-co-glycolide) (PLGA), a biodegradable polymer, have been extensively evaluated as a drug delivery system. In this study, the preparation, characterization and drug release properties of the PLGA microspheres were evaluated. Simvastatin (SIM)-loaded PLGA microspheres were prepared by oil-in-water emulsion/solvent evaporation method. The microspheres ...

Glycation is a protein modification, which results in a change in a protein structure. Glycation is believed to be the etiology of various age-related diseases such as diabetes mellitus and Alz-heimer’s disease (AD). Activation of microglia and resident macrophages in the brain by glycated proteins with subsequent oxidative stress and cytokine release may be an important factor in the progressi...

Potassium has an important role in the process of plant growth, but its presence and availability soil are limited, because potassium is easily lost flows out by water. Increasing efficiency fertilization can be pursued through formulation fertilizer form slow-release (SRF) using bentonite. This study aimed to determine release chloride into after bonding with acid-activated bentonite coated ch...

The timing of neurotransmitter release from neurons can be modulated by many presynaptic mechanisms. The retina uses synaptic ribbons to mediate slow graded glutamate release from bipolar cells that carry photoreceptor inputs. However, many inhibitory amacrine cells, which modulate bipolar cell output, spike and do not have ribbons for graded release. Despite this, slow glutamate release from b...
