UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Wild-boar soil disturbance (i.e., rooting) increases the abundance of some species of geophytes (i.e., plants with underground renewal buds) in upland meadows. However, the mechanisms that could lead to such enhanced prevalence remain unexplored. • METHODS We analyzed the effects of wild-boar disturbance on the size, nutrient (N, P, K, C, and total ash), and...

a bivoltine silkworm hybrid, ka x nb4d2 was treated with the juvenoid r394 (ethyl-9 cyclohexyl-3,7-dimethyl-2,4-nonadienoate) at a dose of 0.039 nl/larva at 24, 48, 72 and 96 h of 5th instar for silk yield improvement. treatment specific significant increase was observed in the cocoon and shell weight with no such marked variation in the shell percentage. notable changes were also seen in trait...

The main aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of silicon (Si), ethanol (Et), ascorbic acid (AA) and citric acid (CA) on vase life of Narcissus tazetta L. cv. ‘Shahla’cut flowers. For this purpose, an experiment based on completely randomized design was conducted with Si (5, 10 and 20 mM), Et (2 and 4%), AA (100, 200 and 300 mg L-1), CA (100, 200 and 300 mg L-1) and control (distillated...

background: soluble microbial products (smps) have an effective role on fouling of membrane in bioreactors (mbrs). the aim of this study was to survey the role of smps on mbrs used in treating municipal wastewater. materials: lowry and phenol sulfuric acid methods were used to measure carbohydrates concentrations and protein content, respectively. biochemical oxygen demand (bod), chemical oxyge...

BACKGROUND One of the major interests in our laboratory has been to develop a scientific framework for dietary advice for patients with diabetes. Knowledge regarding the metabolic consequences and potential effects on health of protein in people with type 2 diabetes has been a particular interest. RESULTS We recently have completed a study in which dietary protein was increased from 15% to 30...

The aim of this study was to determine the chemical and microbiological analysis of soya cheese and compare with cow milk cheese and raw soya. Fat content is lower and protein content is higher in soya cheese than cow milk cheese. Moisture, ash, fat, total carbohydrate, total energy, pH, total chlorides and Total solids are significantly higher in cow milk cheese than soya cheese. Cheese yield,...

This study aimed to assess the chemical responses of forage watermelon fruit at different maturity stages or storage lengths, performing two experimental tests. In first test, four were assessed: 30, 45, 60, and 75 days after anthesis, with replicates. second fruits maintained under three lengths: T1D (harvest day), T3M (3 months harvest), T6M (6 eight Experimental design was completely randomi...
