One hundred and twenty children with acute uncomplicated malaria who were managed at the children's outpatient department of the Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa (a unit of Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals' Complex, Ile-Ife, Osun state, Nigeria) were recruited into the study to determine the effects of lime juice on malaria parasite clearance. These children were randomized into treatm...

The water deficit is one of the main limiting factors to yield sweet oranges. present study aimed determine alternative rootstocks ‘Rangpur’ lime for ‘Pera’ oranges grown on tropical hardsetting soils with greater potential tolerance deficit. Six citrus scion/rootstock combinations were during eight years in an orchard established Sergipe, Brazil. tree height, number fruits per plant, cumulated...

Most historic and traditional mortars were made with lime. Due to their nature and function lime mortars weather and need to be replaced. Ordinary portland cement mortars can often be incompatible with historic masonry causing structural and aesthetic damage. Petrographic analysis of original mortars from Clonmacnoise Monastery and Ardamullivan Castle evidenced that they were fabricated with fe...

We have investigated gas composition during simulated inhalation induction with sevoflurane to elucidate possible mechanisms of incidental prolonged induction times and airway irritation. Using a circle system, 8% sevoflurane in oxygen 6 litre min-1 was washed into an absorbing canister filled with fresh soda lime containing 2.9% KOH (Draegersorb, 'D') or no KOH (< 0.01%, Sofnolime, 'S'). The a...

This is the designation given b}7 Surgeon-Major R. Davis to a disease that he has found prevalent amongst the prisoners in the Rangoon Central Jail. The name is not meant to imply that the disease is caused by the eating of potatoes. On the contra"/ it applies to a peculiar form of scurvy that is amenable to the action of potatoes, "whereas it proves intractable to the influence of other antisc...

OBJECTIVE Lime has a long history as a contraceptive and vaginal hygiene douche, and ongoing use in Africa is documented. We report on the first safety study on diluted lime juice to assess its potential as a candidate microbicide. METHODS Twenty-five sexually abstinent women were randomly assigned to apply a 10% or 20% concentration of lime juice or 0% (water-only) through a soaked tampon on...

Corn stover was pretreated with lime and shock, a mechanical process that uses a shockwave to alter the biomass structure. Two pretreatments (lime-only and lime + shock) were evaluated using enzymatic hydrolysis, batch mixed-culture fermentations, and continuous countercurrent mixed-culture fermentation. In a 120-h enzymatic hydrolysis, shock pretreatment increased the glucan digestibility of s...

Gypsum is being applied to ameliorate subsoil acidity and to overcome the problem of very slow lime movement from surface lime applications. Reduced Crude Conversion Spent Lime (RCCSL) containing anhydrite was evaluated for use as a liming material with specific consideration given to the movement of sulfate into the acid subsoil. Agricultural lime and RCCSL were applied at 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5...

In the past few decades, both academicians and industries have shown interest toward agricultural post-harvest operation aiming to reduce losses. order assist farmers in decision-making some effective innovative methodological frameworks are required. The fruit weight measurement is of prime importance many food processing during sorting, grading, packaging. this work, different Support vector ...
