PREMISE OF THE STUDY We tested the credibility and significance of digital field photographs as supplements or substitutes for conventional herbarium specimens with particular relevance to exploration of the tropics. METHODS We made 113 collections in triplicate at a species-rich mountain in the Philippines while we took 1238 digital photographs of the same plants. We then identified the plan...

Introduction: Ubiquicidin 29-41 (UBI) is a fragment of the cationic antimicrobial peptide that is present in various species including humans. The purpose of this study was to investigate radiochemical and biological characteristics of [6-hydrazinopyridine3-carboxylic acid (HYNIC)]-UBI 29-41 designed for the labeling with Tc using tricine as coligand. Methods: Synthesis was preformed on a solid...

In order to increase the application potential of the direct agglutination test (DAT) for the detection of anti-Leishmania antibodies in human serum samples, we developed an antigen based on stained and freeze-dried Leishmania donovani promastigotes. We describe here the evaluation of the performance of the DAT based on this freeze-dried antigen. It was shown that the freeze-dried antigen remai...

background; various industries produce and discharge wastes containing different heavy metals into the environment. apart from using living biomass, dead and dried biomasses have been introduced as a new field of biotreatment technology. method; the cadmium (cd) (ii) removal characteristics of live (growing), dead (autoclaved), and oven-dried biomasses of aspergillus versicolor were examined as...

we sought to determine levels of oral bioaccessibility of hydroxymethylfurfural (hmf) from frequently consumed dried fruits in iran. fifty samples from frequently consumed types of dried fruits were analyzed for moisture, acidity and hmf content before and after in vitro digestion. besides, bioaccessibility of hmf in dried fruits using an in vitro gastrointestinal digestive model and hmf intake...
