Nowadays, plant allelopathy, as a new type of biological algal and/or bacterial inhibition technology, has attracted extensive attention. Eight substances were isolated and identified from Jussiaea stipulacea Ohwi, five concentration gradients, well control (0, 1.25, 5, 10, 20, 50 mg/L) set, with three parallels in each group, then sampled detected at 24, 48, 72, 96 h. When the was mg/L, rate A...

background: the hazardous nature of aflatoxins to human and animals necessitate the establishment of control measures. objectives: the effect of two medicinal plants, satureja khozistanica and satureja macrosiphon, was studied on inhibiting aspergillus flavus growth and reducing aflatoxin b1-content in the liquid medium. methods: essential oils were isolated by hydrodistillation method, using a...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Abiraterone acetate is approved for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. The originator abiraterone acetate (OAA) formulation is poorly absorbed and exhibits large pharmacokinetic variability in abiraterone exposure. Abiraterone acetate fine particle (AAFP) is a proprietary formulation (using SoluMatrix Fine Particle Technology™) designed to...

Afforestation of contaminated areas is considered as a possible strategy for reduction of contaminations. In the present study, the effects of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) were investigated on chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (Fv/Fm, Fo, and Fm), photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, b, and total chlorophyll), and proline in one-year-old seedlings of Celtis caucasica and Robinia pseudoacacia...

no on-site sanitation system treats both urine and faecal matter in one process. a laboratory scale biological filter was fed with high concentration of urea (4 g n/l) and 17.1 g cod/l to determine if it will be possible to treat liquid that leach from a ventilated improved pit latrine. the hlr in the proposed biological filter system was calculated to be ca 36 l/m2/d, significantly lower than ...

Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease. Accordingly, 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP) has been found to effectively produce HD-like symptoms. Luehea divaricata (L. divaricata), popularly known in Brazil as "açoita-cavalo," may act as a neuroprotective agent in vitro and in vivo. We evaluated the hypothesis that the aqueous extract of L. divaricata could prevent...

Four identical 37.5 Liter UASB reactors R1, R2, R3 and R4 were used to study the effect of sulfate concentration on granule formation. Diluted molasses with COD range 1000–1300 mg/l were used as feed and acclimated cow manure was used as seed. Concentration of sulfate ions in the four reactors were 100, 500, 1000 and 1500mg/l. Granules were observed in R2 after 33 days from startup time, while ...

BACKGROUND The ideal antimicrobial treatment for intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) in the setting of fast-paced emergency departments (EDs) should be effective, convenient, and of limited resource utilization. Antibiotic monotherapy is a feasible option for this. We conducted a study in which we compared two regimens for antibiotic monotherapy recommended by published guidelines in ED patients ...
