readymade garment industries are the prominent economic sector for bangladesh as well as scoping the huge working area for workers. but health condition of workers, drinking water quality, and proper maintenance of the environmental parameters are not well monitored. this study aims to assess the physio-chemical and bacteriological quality of drinking water provided for the garment workers in d...

The prediction of protein structures is a current issue of great significance in structural bioinformatics. More specifically, the prediction of the tertiary structure of a protein consists in determining its three-dimensional conformation based solely on its amino acid sequence. This study proposes a method in which protein fragments are assembled according to their physicochemical similaritie...

Sensory evaluation is the ideal tool for shelf-life determination. With the objective to develop an easy shelf-life indicator, color (L*, a*, b*, chroma and hue angle), total soluble solids (TSS), firmness (F), pH, acidity, and the sensory attributes of appearance, brightness, browning, odor, flavor, texture, color, acidity and sweetness were evaluated in fresh cut mangoes (FCM) stored at 5, 10...

Cell-sized liposomes are a powerful tool for clarifying physicochemical mechanisms that govern molecular interactions. Herein, budding transformation of membrane domains was induced by amyloid beta peptides. The peptides increased the membrane viscosity as demonstrated by the Brownian motion of membrane domains. These results could aid in understanding the physicochemical mechanism of Alzheimer...

physicochemical and mechanical properties of wheat grains can have a great impact on the quality of the final products (bread). therefore, correct selection of wheat cultivar for specific applications seems to be crucial. in this study, the differences in the physicochemical and mechanical properties (under compression and impact loadings) of ten iranian wheat cultivars (azar2, alamut, bam, bah...

A novel set of molecular descriptors suitable for use in quantitative structure-activity relationships and related methods is described. These descriptors are a smooth and interpretable representation of atomic physicochemical property values and intramolecular atom pair distances. Distance atomic physicochemical parameter energy relationships (DAPPER), a novel structure-activity relationship (...

BACKGROUND Using treated wastewater in agriculture irrigation could be a realistic solution for the shortage of fresh water in Iran, however, it is associated with environmental and health threats; therefore, effluent quality assessment is quite necessary before use. The present study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical and microbial quality of Shiraz wastewater treatment plant effluent for b...

vermicompost produced from sugarcane bagasse (sbv) or sawdust (s) were substituted at a range of different concentration in soilless bedding plant container medium, as a peat: vermiculite: perlite (6:3:1), to evaluate their effects on the growth of dieffenbachia amoena in the greenhouse. dieffenbachia amoena was grown in container medium pe: ve: p (6:3:1), in that peat substituted with 0%, 10%,...

background: mosquitoes lay eggs in a wide range of habitats with different physicochemical parameters. ecological data, including physicochemical factors of oviposition sites, play an important role in integrated vector management. those data help the managers to make the best decision in controlling the aquatic stages of vectors especially using source reduction. methods: to study some physico...

safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) is one of the oilseed plants that can influence strongly on oilseed security because it is extremely compatible with environmental conditions. safflower is cultivated as second cultivation after combining cereals in isfahan. nowadays many attempts are performed to improve safflower oil quality to use in edible oil industry. in this study, quantity and quality...
