in the present study, sulfuric acid was used for artemia cysts decapsulation. cysts of artemia franciscana were hatched out in regular manner or following hypochlorite or acid decapsulation. two acid concentrations (1 and 5%), three acid immersion times (10, 30 and 50 min) were used and hatching rates were recorded after 15, 18 and 24 h incubation. hatching rates increased but hatching time dec...

abstract this experiment was carried out to determine the effects of proline and ascorbic acid on chilling injury, electrolyte leakage, lipid peroxidation, peroxide hydrogen and antioxidant enzymes activity of thompson grape (vitis vinifera l.) fruit. grape fruits were treated by 0 (control), 250 and 500 µm proline and 0 (control), 2 and 4% ascorbic acid and their combinations, then stored at 1...

BACKGROUND: Pregnant women are a major risk group for malaria in endemic areas. Only little information exists on the compliance of pregnant women with malaria and anaemia preventive drug regimens in the rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In this study, we collected information on malaria and anaemia prevention behaviour in pregnant women of rural Burkina Faso. METHODS: Cross-sectional qu...

this experiment was conducted to determine the effects of propionic acid, formic acid, molasses and molasses plus urea on chemical composition, microbial population, ruminal degradability of dry matter (dm) and crude protein (cp), and aerobic stability of corn silage. prior to ensiling, whole crop corn was chapped and treated with water (control), propionic acid (1%), formic acid (0.8%), molass...

The duality properties of Peti Nets (PN) are exploiled in order to apply an algorithmfor the calculation of colored S-invaiants of Predicate Transition nets (Pr/T nets) to the calculation of the colored T-invariants.

in order to study the effects of ascorbic acid as an important antioxidant reducing salinity damage, an experiment was conducted on two althernantera genotypes (“entire leaf” and “undulated leaf”) at research greenhouse of shahid chamran university in 2013. concentrations of 0, 0.5 and 1 mm of ascorbic acid were sprayed weekly on plants grown under 0, 30, 60, 90 mm nacl. the experiment was carr...
