Eleven diets (D1-D11), designated as treatments (T1-T11), supplemented with different levels of inorganic phosphorus (P) (Ca2PO4) were fed to Heterobranchus bidorsalis (10.8 ±0.02 g) to determine the optimum P requirement. D1 D11 contained total P of 10.2, 10.4, 11.0, 11.9, 12.3, 12.6, 13.4, 13.9, 14.2 14.7 and 15.4 g kg respectively. After 84 days of feeding trial, there was increase in fish g...

A field experiment was conducted at the Regional Wheat Research Centre (RWRC) of the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, Bangladesh for 2 consecutive years during 2006-07 and 2007-08 with the objective to find out the optimum nutrient management practice on total dry matter production (above ground part) of each component crop of potatomungbean-t. aman rice cropping pattern.

Diagnosis of Acanthamoeba by microscopic examination, culture, and polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) has several limitations (sensitivity, specificity, lack of detection of several strains, cost of testing for discrimination among strains). We developed a new high-resolution melting real-time PCR (HRM) to detect and characterize Acanthamoeba infections. HRM performances were evaluated with stra...

Optimum crop yield is not possible without the timely application and right amount of irrigation water.

A rat model study was performed to evaluate the effects of compression of the thoracic spinal cord. Dorsal screw compression of the thoracic spinal cord up to 50% canal diameter was created at T5 (Group A), T5 and T11 (Group B), and T5 and T8 (Group C). Clinical grading (Tarlov criteria), sensory evoked and motor evoked potentials, horse raddish peroxidase neural transport, and microangiography...

Amoebic keratitis, a sight-threatening corneal infection, mainly occurs in contact lens wearers who wash their eyes with tap water. The present research was conducted to identify the occurrence of potentially pathogenic free-living amoebae (FLA) in tap water sources on Kish Island, a tourist region in Iran. Amoebae were detected using a culture-enriched method and by polymerase chain reaction (...

T1 (Seed priming Borax solution @ 0.01%), T2 0.05%), T3 0.10...

This study evaluated the presence of Acanthamoeba species in the Puzih River watershed, which features typical subtropical monsoon climate and is located just above the Tropic of Cancer in Taiwan. The relationship between the seasonal and geographical distributions of Acanthamoeba species in this rivershed was also investigated. Acanthamoeba species were detected in water samples using the amoe...
