Soil salinization and sodification, caused by inadequate land management, is one of the main threats to semiarid agroecosystems. It essential investigate saline levels under different land-use conditions maintain sustainability agricultural production. The objective this study was diagnose salinity status soil in region Northeast Brazil. samples were collected surface layer (0–5 cm) three condi...

The percentage of podophyllotoxin (PTOX) and its congener lignans were measured by HPLC in Linum mucronatum ssp. mucronatum (Linaceae) fresh plant organs. The highest amounts of PTOX (0.595 +/- 0.060% g/g dry wt) and 6-methoxypodophyllotoxin (MPTOX) (1.491 +/- 0.125% g/g dry wt) were found in the plant sexual organs. Whereas, the highest levels of beta-peltatin, 5'-demethoxy-MPTOX and yatein we...

With oil supplies, needed for plastic production, decreasing dramatically, there is a clear driver alterative polymers from sustainable resources. Poultry feathers, containing ?90% keratin, are one source of natural polymer with huge potential biopolymer production. However, the presence crosslinks, known as disulphide bonds, hinders processability. This paper reviews techniques to enable break...

A laboratory investigation was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of four phosphate fertilizers, including diammonium phosphate (DAP), potassium phosphate monobasic (MPP), calcium superphosphateon (SSP), and calcium phosphate tribasic (TCP), in terms of the toxicity and bioavailability of Cd in contaminated soils. The efficiency of immobilization was evaluated on the basis of two criteria: (a...

Inteins are intervening protein sequences that undergo self-excision from a precursor protein with concomitant joining of the flanking sequences. Here, we demonstrate intein trans-splicing in Nicotiana tabacum chloroplasts by using the naturally split Ssp DnaE intein. Trans-splicing occurred whether both intein fragments were encoded in the chloroplast or were separated into the chloroplast and...

Lamotrigine is a substituted asymmetric triazine. It is a white to pale cream-coloured powder. It is slightly soluble in ethanol and chloroform, and very slightly soluble in water. The pKa of lamotrigine at 25°C is 5.7. Each Lamictal Dispersible/Chewable tablet also contains calcium carbonate, hydroxypropyl cellulose, aluminium magnesium silicate, sodium starch glycollate, povidone, saccharin s...

The molecular weight of the major glycoprotein from the human erythrocyte membrane is 29,000, of which 55% is carbohydrate and 45% is protein. The binding of sodium dodecyl sulfate to this glycoprotein is anomalous when compared to water soluble proteins and leads to migration rates in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels that cannot be interpreted in terms of molecular weight. Anomalous ...

effluent from ro (reverse osmosis) systems during recovery gradually becomes concentrated and supersaturated with soluble salts such as calcium carbonate (caco3), calcium sulfate (caso4), barium sulfate (baso4) and silica (sio2). thus we were looking for procedures to prevent precipitation of soluble salts on the membrane surface and decrease membrane permeability. therefore, recovery could be ...

accurate knowledge of spatial distribution of soil physical and chemical properties is needed for suitable management and proper use of rangelands in masileh plain, qom, iran. in present study, for the spatial modeling of chemical and physical parameters such as sodium (na), calcium (ca), soluble potassium (k), magnesium (mg), electrical conductivity (ec), saturation percentage (sp%), silt, cla...

Famotidine is a white to pale yellow crystalline compound that is freely soluble in glacial acetic acid, slightly soluble in methanol, very slightly soluble in water, and practically insoluble in ethanol. Each tablet for oral administration contains either 20 mg or 40 mg of famotidine and the following inactive ingredients: hydroxypropyl cellulose, hypromellose, iron oxides, magnesium stearate,...
