Abstract Salinity is one of abiotic stress that affects plant growth and production. The objective this study was to investigate the effect salinity vermicompost on morphology physiology parameters Calliandra haematocephala. experiment carried out with treatments at 1000, 2000 3000 ppm in addition control (tap water, 280 ppm), 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% control. results indicated increasing level result...

We have shown earlier, that an oxygen impurity content of >0.4 at.% (4000 ppm) strongly degrades the hardness of the nc-TiN/a-Si3N4 nanocomposites. Here we show that such impurities also hinder the phase segregation and formation of stable and strong nanostructure consisting of 3-4 nm size TiN nanocrystals "glued" together by about 1 monolayer thick interfacial Si3N4-like layer, thus apparently...

Hereditary hemochromatosis is an inherited pathological condition characterized by iron overload in several vital organs including heart. To increase our understanding of the underlying pathogenic mechanisms of hereditary hemochromatosis, we used a HFE gene knockout mouse model that replicates hereditary hemochromatosis. A group of mice with no copies of HFE gene and corresponding wild-type mic...

Triethylenetetramine dihydrochloride (trien-2HCl; CAS No. 38260-01-04), a chelating agent used to treat Wilson's disease patients who are intolerant of the drug of choice, was tested for subchronic toxicity in B6C3F1 mice and F344 rats. Mice and rats received trien-2HCl in the drinking water at concentrations of 0, 120, 600, or 3000 ppm for up to 92 days. Twenty mice and 18 rats of each sex wer...

BACKGROUND In the present study, blood serum level of metals were determined in malarial patients and compared with those in the normal subjects without complication using Atomic Absorption Spectrometer. METHODS For the determination of these metals twelve intravenous blood samples each from referred malarial patients and a group of normal subjects were collected and immediately centrifuged t...

the effect of ascorbic acid (aa) and butylated hydroxyanisole (bha) supplementation on aflatoxicosis in broiler chickens (1 to 42 days of age) was investigated (250, 500, 1000 and 2000 ppm for aa and bha) in diet containing 1 ppm total aflatoxin (af: 76.45% afb1, 10.52% afb2, 9.89% afg1 and 3.14% afg2). a total of 300 day-old broiler chicks were divided into ten treatment groups (t1=control; t2...

In this study, the effects of different light regimes on the reproductive activity of a typical Indo- Pacific coral reef rabbitfish, Siganus sutor, were evaluated. Forty- five adult fish were exposed to nine different photoperiod (8L: 16D, 12L: 12D, 16L: 8D) and light intensity (1000, 2000, 3000 lux) combinations with three replicates and five other fishes reared under indoor light condition (C...

Salt stress is a major issue in agriculture and crop production that influences global food security. Mitigation options to address salt through agronomic practices can help manage this issue. Experiments were performed two summer seasons an experimental farm test the impact of three salinity levels (S): 300 (control), 1000, 2000, 3000 ppm, salicylic acid (SA) levels, including 1.0 1.50 mM, the...

15. Supplementary Notes Research performed in cooperation with the Texas Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration. Project Title: Develop Guidelines and Procedures for Stabilization of Sulfate Soils 16. Abstract Sulfate-bearing subgrade soils treated with calcium-based stabilizers often experience heaving problems (three-dimensional swell) due to chemical reactions w...
