We found that the typical fluoroquinolone antibiotic enrofloxacin (ENR) and plasticizer di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) are often detected simultaneously at high frequencies in environment, but their combined exposure effects on soil animals poorly understood. Here, oxidative stress, DNA damage changes digestibility of earthworm were investigated to reflect toxicological single DEHP ENR eart...

We present two classical conjectures concerning the characterization of manifolds: the Bing Borsuk Conjecture asserts that every n-dimensional homogeneous ANR is a topological n-manifold, whereas the Busemann Conjecture asserts that every n-dimensional G-space is a topological n-manifold. The key object in both cases are so-called generalized manifolds, i.e. ENR homology manifolds. We look at t...

Using aroyl hydrazides as a source of amine and substituted aromatic aldehydes as a carbonyl source, we have synthesized aroyl hydrazide derivatives by condensation reaction. The synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectral studies. The Synthesized compounds were subjected to antimicrobial and anti-oxidant activities. Finally, molecular docking study had been p...

In this work, we have tested a photocatalytic material consisting of core SiO2/Fe3O4 coated with TiO2 (Magnox) for plausible tertiary wastewater treatment. For this, pilot plant 45 L equipped an Ultraviolet light (UVC) lamp was employed to study the degradation model contaminant, enrofloxacin (ENR), as well water disinfection (elimination Escherichia coli and Clostridium perfringens). The influ...

Enrofloxacin (ENR) is one of the most commonly used antibiotics in pig farms. In this study, using fresh manure and corn straw powder as substrates, effects different concentrations ENR (2.5, 10, 20 mg/L) on anaerobic digestion completely mixed reactors were investigated. A relatively low concentration (2.5 increased methane production by 47.58% compared with control group. Among volatile fatty...

On-farm practices like premature weaning and frequent regrouping induce stress to pigs. Early socialization or environmental enrichment in piglets reduce stress, as suggested previous studies. Little research with both effects commercial settings was found. The aim investigate the of preweaning on life-long performance 661 Danbred Two treatments were distinguished during suckling period: contro...

Iroquois homeobox (Irx) family members, a group of highly conserved homeodomain containing transcription factors, are involved in the patterning and the proper functions of vertebrate organs. They can act as transcriptional activators or repressors in a context-dependent manner. Preliminary data indicated that Irx3 and Irx5 are functionally redundant during cardiac morphogenesis, and they physi...
