Background: Plant growth regulators (PGRs) have important roles in many processes such as germination, seedling growth, nutrition uptake, morphogenesis, ripening, etc. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of gibberellic acid, indole butyric acid, and methanol as plant growth regulators on morpho-physiological and phytochemical features in Thymus vulgaris L. Methods: The farm...

BACKGROUND Ground corncob animal bedding and corn food products contain substances that disrupt endocrine function in rats. The disruptors were identified as isomeric mixtures of tetrahydrofurandiols (THF-diols; 9,12-oxy-10,13-dihydroxyoctadecanoic acid and 10,13-oxy-9,12-dihydroxyoctadecanoic acid) and leukotoxindiols (LTX-diols; 9,10-dihydroxy-12-octadecenoic acid and 12,13-dihydroxy-9-octade...

This paper presents results of investigation of scaling of calcium sulfate (CaSO4) on metallic pipes. In this study, the optimizing variables; namely temperature (50-600C), concentration of Ca2+ (2000-3000 ppm), citric acid concentration (10-20 ppm) were set-up to provide the optimum yield of the mass scales. The mineral scale detected using XRD is mainly gypsum, and the scale has a plate like ...

Folic acid is an essential nutrient that is required for one-carbon biosynthetic processes and for methylation of biomolecules. Deficiency of this micronutrient leads to disturbances in normal physiology of cell. Chronic alcoholism is well known to be associated with folate deficiency which is due, in part to folate malabsorption. The present study deals with the mechanistic insights of reduced...

African marigold, being tall enough and producing large flowers suitable for preparing garlands, is the most cultivated cultivar of marigold in Nepal. Besides, pinching other improved cultural techniques, a number chemicals, hormones phyto-hormones are tested found to impart varying response marigold. This review has its importance standardizing type concentration plant growth regulators Online...

Effects of accelerated aging and seed priming treatments were studied on milk thistle seeds during germination process. Experiment was performed in a factorial based on Complete Randomized Design (CRD). Treatments were Salicylic acid concentrations (0, 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 ppm) and accelerated aging for (0, 48, 96 and 144 hours under 45 °C and 95% humidity) with three replications. Our ...

We present a method for calculating accurate random coil chemical shift values of proteins. These values are obtained by analyzing the relationship between the amino acid sequences in flexible loop regions of native states and the corresponding experimentally measured chemical shifts. We estimate the errors in the random coil chemical shift scales to be 0.31 ppm for (13)C(alpha), 0.37 ppm for (...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness of peracetic acid in the microbiological sterilisation of dental materials. METHODS Peracetic acid solution was evaluated at concentrations of 800, 1500 and 2500 ppm. At these concentrations, it was determined whether peracetic acid caused corrosion to dental instruments and induced cellular mutagenicity and cytotoxicity. In addition, the minimum inhibito...

This effect of Monascus and Laccaic acid on the chemical composition, physical, texture and sensory properties of sausage were investigated during storage. Eight treatments (T) of sausage such as T1 (12 ppm sodium nitrite), while T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 and T7 were formulated with different ratios of Monascus/Laccaic acid: 63/7.0, 108/12, 135/15, 59.5/10.5, 102/18 and 127.5/22.5 ppm, respectively. T...

The petroleum industry has strived for several years to explore environmentally friendly scale inhibitors with no acute environmental impact. Well-known industrial biodegradable polyaspartic acid is widely used as a potent inhibitor (SI) against various inorganic scales in circulating cooling water and topside applications. However, showed weak thermal stability at the reservoir temperatures. H...
