Statistical studies on the correlation analysis and multiple linear stepwise regression analyses based on the different geochemical fractions of metals (Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn) in the sediments of the Straits of Malacca were conducted. Significant (P< 0.001) correlation matrices were found among total concentrations of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn indicating that they had a common source of anthropogenic origi...

This paper describes a pilot study of chloride, nitrate, and sulphate content in thoracic and high-risk respirable fractions of airborne particles. Samples were collected at one measuring site in Zagreb in autumn 1998 and spring 1999. The results showed that almost total chloride, nitrate, and sulphate content was present in the respirable particle fraction. The average mass contribution of the...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Wuyiencin fractions with different polarities against six indicator microorganisms: Rhodotorula rubra, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megaterium, Escherichia coli, Cladosporium fulvum and Staphylococcus aureus. The fermentation broth of Wuyiencin was submitted to AB-8 macroporous adsorptive resin and fractionated with solvents of ...

Two experiments examined whether the processing of the magnitude of fractions is global or componential. Previously, some authors concluded that adults process the numerators and denominators of fractions separately and do not access the global magnitude of fractions. Conversely, others reported evidence suggesting that the global magnitude of fractions is accessed. We hypothesized that in a fr...

the aim of this study was to characterize albumin fractions of four different wheat varieties grown in a local climatic context, as well as to find the relationship between the particular albumin fractions and enzyme activity of the tested wheat flours and dough rheological properties. the determined content of albumin fractions ranged from 2.64 to 17.50% of total proteins. more than 50% of the...

this study was carried out to evaluate the antimicrobial and antioxidant effectiveness of methanolic extract and different fractions (n-butanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform and n-hexane) of c.intybus seeds. the antimicrobial activity was determined by the disc diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) against a panel of microorganisms (four bacterial strains, i.e. p. multocida, ...

balance among different fractions of a carbon sources is of paramount importance in maintenance of very important in soil quality and environmental health. on the other hand, rapid growth of world population, degradation of agricultural soils, along with release of greenhouse gasses are some of the main challenges of the 21st century. the aim of this study was to investigate the extent of chang...
