This study investigated the effects of sub-chronic administration of sub-lethal doses of amitraz on some testicular parameters of Albino rats. Twenty-four adult male Albino rats (100 ± 10 g) randomly assigned into four groups were used for the study. Groups A, B and C received 10.0, 2.0 and 0.4 mg/kg amitraz in 10 ml/kg water while group D received equivalent volume of water orally and daily fo...

This paper addressed the application of new hydrophobic synthesized calcium oxide (CaO) and silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanofluids to low permeability carbonate porous media. Crude oil and plugs were selected from one of oil reservoirs in the west of Iran. The main goal of this paper is comparing the results of improving water-oil relative permeability parameters in low permeability plugs...

The effect of biopesticide - Derisom on certain metabolites and enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism were evaluated in gill, liver, kidney and muscle of Cyprinus carpio during sub-lethal toxicity exposure of 21 days. A dose of 0.28 ppm was taken as the sub-lethal dose. The organs were taken from exposed and control fish at the end of 24 hrs, 7, 14 and 21 days and used for the estimation of total ...

In this paper, the thermodynamic properties of the aqueous mixed electrolyte system containing 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIm]Cl) and NaCl are reported based on the potentiometric method. The potentiometric measurements were performed on the galvanic cells without liquid junction of the type:Ag-AgCl [BMIm]Cl (m1), NaCl(m2), H2O│IL-...

background : the present study was undertaken to ascertain whether (or not) long term occupational exposure to low (sub-tlv levels) atmospheric concentrations of chlorine gas was associated with any significant decrements in the parameters of pulmonary function and/or  increased prevalence of respiratory symptoms. methods : in this retrospective cohort study that was performed in 2012, 54 worke...

Geomorphometric features and land use/land cover are essential in the context of watershed prioritization for resources conservation and protection. Watersheds in tropical regions like the Philippines are under threat of degradation due to the combined effects of uncontrolled agricultural activities in the uplands and frequently increasing erosive precipitations brought about by climate change....

sub basin prioritization is one of the integrated watershed management and sustainable development strategies. to protect natural resources, through marking zones of potential damage in small areas for is a primary need sustainable development. degradation potential zones project for watershed protection measures is not cost-effective economically. so this is a prerequisite for sub basin priori...

Chromium enters surface and ground waters through the wastewater of electroplating, textile, metallurgical, dye production, and other industries, leading to numerous adverse health effects. The potential property of nanoparticle adsorption of nickel oxide (NiO) and the economic nature of ultraviolet/hydrogen peroxide (UV/H2O2) process have eased the usage of these two proc...

The well Sarai Sidhu-01 is located on Punjab Platform, Central Indus Basin, Pakistan. Punjab Platform is the eastern part of Central Indus Basin, and tectonically it is the stable portion of Indus Basin, which was least affected during Tertiary Himalayan orogeny. This study attempts to decipher reservoir potential for hydrocarbon exploration. It aims to delineate a subsurface hydrocarbon bearin...
