Vertical profiles of carbon monoxide (CO) and ozone retrieved from Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer have been analyzed during two super cyclone systems Mala and Sidr. Super cyclones Mala and Sidr traversed the Bay of Bengal (BOB) region on April 24-29, 2006 and November 12-16, 2007 respectively. The CO and ozone plume is observed as a strong enhancement of these pollutants in the upper tropos...

this study was carried out to investigate the effect of crown canopy of ziziphus spina-christi on seed bank characteristics (density and similarity with above ground flora) in two sites with saline-alkaline and alkaline soils. in each soil, forty plots were established, half in and half outside of z. spina-christi cover. in each plot, soil sampling was done from 0-5 and 5-10 cm depths. paired a...

conclusions allium hirtifolium and z. spina-christi extracts showed the most efficient activity in the inhibition of promastigote growth, but this was not total. the remaining plant extracts indicated ineffective or very weak efficiency on the leishmania promastigotes. there is a possibility of achieving better results by changing the extraction method; determining materials affecting promastig...

This paper combines household production with an endogenous risk framework in order to understand how ex-ante private spending by coastal households against ex-post storm-inflicted damages would evolve given the public programs and the presence of a mangrove forest. The theoretical model confirms the influence of public protection programs and the mangrove forest on private defensive expenditur...

OBJECTIVES Biofilms formed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) and Staphylococcus aureus (SA) have been shown to be an important factor in the pathophysiology of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). As well, honey has been used as an effective topical antimicrobial agent for years. Our objective is to determine the in vitro effect of honey against biofilms produced by PA and SA. STUDY DESIGN In vitro tes...

A survey was conducted to get an overview and to gather information on the existing and socioeconomic condition of the SIDR affected people and migration. To perform this study data were collected from the three selected village (south Shailkati, Hothkhali and Lahori) affected people by random sampling after selecting the study topic and area. Then the data were processed and analyzed through u...

The synthesis of nanoparticles can be carried out by means biology, physics or chemistry. In the last few years, it has begun to conducted biologically in synthesizing nanoparticles. One which is using plant extracts. This study used bidara leaf extract as a biostabilizer for ZnO. objectives this were 1) determine structure ZnO characterized SEM-EDX and XRD tests 2) inhibitory activity Malassez...

Aflatoxins (AF), a group of closely related, extremely toxic mycotoxins, produced by Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus can occur as natural contaminants of foods and feeds. Aflatoxins have been shown to be hepatotoxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic to different animal species. Zizyphus spina-christi L. extract was investigated for its antifungal and antimicrobial activities. The ...
