A representative watershed was instrumented with five gauging sites (n = 5), partitioning the catchment into five nested-scale sub-watersheds. Four physiochemical variables were monitored: water temperature, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), and dissolved oxygen (DO). Data were collected four days per week from October 2010–May 2014 at each gauging site. Statistical analyses indicated significa...

OBJECTIVE To study detail microscopic evaluation and physiochemical analysis of Dillenia indica (D. indica) leaf. METHODS Fresh leaf sample and dried power of the leaf were studied macroscopically and microscopically. Preliminary phytochemical investigation of plant material was done. Other WHO recommended parameters for standardizations were also performed. RESULTS The detail microscopy re...

background & aim:   changes in lifestyle, decrease in physical exercise along with incidence of obesity, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases indicate a need for low calorie formulations. the sweetness of stevia, a natural sweetener, is estimated to be 300 times as much as that of sugar. extraction of stevia leaves is considered a promoter of calorie balance and a beneficial part of a h...

Bispecific antibodies show great promise as intrinsic combination therapies, but often suffer from poor physiochemical properties, many times related to poor heterodimerization. De Nardis et al. identify specific electrostatic interactions that facilitate efficient heterodimerization, resulting in bispecific antibodies with physiochemical properties very similar to those of naturally occurring ...

The ability of a number of prediction systems was examined to determine how well they could predict Salmonella mutagenicity. The prediction systems included two computer-based systems (CASE and TOPKAT), the measurement of a physiochemical parameter (ke) and the use of structural alerts by an expert chemist. The computer-based systems operators and the chemist were supplied with the structures o...

Peptide and protein sequences are most commonly represented as a strings: a series of letters selected from the twenty character alphabet of abbreviations for the naturally occurring amino acids. Here, we experiment with representations of small peptide sequences that incorporate more physiochemical information. Specifically, we develop three different physiochemical representations for a set o...

Elvitegravir is a new-generation drug which acts as an integrase inhibitor of the HIV virus. The potential inhibition has been tested from the clinical trial data. Here the work basically deals with the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis by considering some of the physiochemical descriptors like molecular weight, logP, molar volume, and structural descriptors like Wine...

Hybrid Phoxinus are one of the few asexually reproducing vertebrates species. The distribution of hybrid Phoxinus among lakes in Algonquin Park, Ontario, was evaluated relative to the distribution of parental species and relative to physiochemical lake characteristics. No association between the distribution of hybrids and the distribution of parental species was found, suggesting that the hybr...

determination of the relationships between soil and plant cover indispensible in the in planning and managementof the arid regions, the aim being to revitalize plant cover, conserve soil and to combat desertification. among factorsaffecting plant cover, particularly in arid and semiarid areas are soil traits. during the present study, the effect ofhaloxylon aphyllum cultivation on soil physioch...
