in order to study the residues of phosphorous insecticides in mazandaran district of iran, ethion, azinphosmethyl, diazinon and malathion four most used pesticides were chosen and river water samples were collected in april to sept. 2000, throughout the mazandaran state. thin layer chromatography was used, since it was the best applicable method in area with reasonably high level of sensitivity...

five organo-phosphorous compounds were tested against lab-bred and wild caught larvae of ano pliclcs stcphclisi nrysorcnsis at the kazeroun medical research station, southern iran, during may-june, 1974. this study showed that as the larvae grew their tolerance to the insecticides tested increased up to 5 times more than that of day-old larvae. when iate 3rd and early 4th instal' larvae of wild...

In a monitoring study residue levels of organochlorines (OC), synthetic pyrethroids (SP), organophosphates (OP) and carbamates were determined in unprocessed and processed three vegetables viz. brinjal, cauliflower and okra to know the residue levels and evaluate the effect of different household processes (washing and boiling/cooking) on reduction of residues. Samples were procured from local ...

the use of adjuvants enhances the insecticide efficiency and increases the persistence of insecticides. in this study, the effect of adjuvants on the toxicity of chlorpyrifos and cyhalothrin formulations were investigated under laboratory and field conditions. the comparative toxicity of two chlorpyrifos [(48% emulsifiable concentrate (ec)] formulations (dursban and pyrifos el nasr), two cyhalo...

OBJECTIVE Abnormalities in frontal lobe phosphorous metabolism in patients with bipolar disorder have been reported, but many of the patients studied were receiving lithium. In this study, medication-free bipolar patients were examined to determine abnormalities in frontal lobe high-energy phosphorous metabolism. METHOD In vivo phosphorous-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging was perfo...

The effect of nitrogen status on phosphorous uptake and translocation was examined in 6-day-old dark-grown decapitated maize seedlings exposed to 25 micromolar phosphorous. Transfer to complete solutions containing 1 millimolar ammonium resulted in an increase in phosphorous uptake rate after 6 to 8 hours. The stimulus remained effective for at least 5.5 hours upon subsequent transfer to nitrog...

This small book amply fulfills the promise of its title; it is one of the best books on a specific aspect of brain metabolism to appear in recent years. The first two chapters cover phosphorus metabolism in the brain in vivo and include studies on the levels of phosphorylated compounds in the brain under various conditions. In addition, changes in the phosphate levels in the developing brain ar...
