conclusions it was shown that the removal efficiency of nitrate was directly proportional to the amount of chaff, temperature, and contact time but inversely to the ph. this study showed that nitrate removal by chaff is a promising technique. results the result of this study revealed that chaff as an absorbent could remove nitrate from solutions, and the efficiency of adsorption increased as co...

Introduction This work presents a comparative biological evaluation of 90Y- and 177Lu- labelled DOTA-SCN and DOTA-NHS conjugated to Rituximab in tumour-bearing mice. Materials and methods Two DOTA derivatives, p-SCN-Bn-DOTA and DOTA-NHS-ester were conjugated to Rituximab and then freeze-dried kit formulations were prepared, as previously described [1]. Tissue distribution was investigated in t...

Gladiolus is very popular and highly demanded cut flower worldwide however imbalance nutrition reduces its production, additionally irrational combination of nutrient further kindled the situation. The current study was conducted to ascertain the effects of different combinations of N, P and K on growth, floral development, and N, P and K uptake by gladiolus leaves. N, P and K was applied as; w...

BACKGROUND Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake on positron emission tomography is reported to have prognostic significance in patients after resection of lung adenocarcinoma. However, its relationship with histopathologic features remains unknown. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 205 patients who had undergone surgical resection of primary lung adenocarcinoma (> 1.0 cm) afte...

The relationship between Ca++ and pinocytosis was investigated in Amoeba proteus. Pinocytosis was induced with 0.01% alcian blue, a large molecular weight dye which binds irreversibly to the cell surface. The time-course and intensity of pinocytosis was monitored by following the uptake of [3H]SUCROSE. When the cells are exposed to 0.01% alcian blue, there is an immediate uptake of sucrose. The...

purpose validity of the 20-meter multi stage shuttle run test (20-m mst) has not been studied in nepalese population. the purpose of this study was to validate the applicability of the 20-m mst in nepalese adult females. methods forty female college students (age range, 20.42 ~24.75 years) from different colleges of nepal were recruited for the study. direct estimation of vo2 max comprised trea...

UNLABELLED 18F-FDG PET is increasingly being used to monitor the early response of malignant tumors to chemotherapy. Understanding the reproducibility of standardized uptake values (SUVs) is an important prerequisite in estimating what constitutes a significant change. METHODS Twenty-six patients were studied on 2 separate occasions (mean interval +/- SD, 3 +/- 2 d; range, 1-5 d). A static PE...
