the effect of plant growth regulator short time treatments ( ga3 and tdz) on the increase of vase life and qualitative traits of alstroemeria cultivars ‘odessa’ and ‘sacramento’ were investigated. cut flowers were treated with 24h pulse treatments which included different concentrations of ga3 and tdz. cut flowers were later held in preservative solution (sucrose 2% +nanosid 2ppm) and then thei...

the purpose of this research was to study the neutralization efficacy of a universal neutralizer proposed by the ctpa on a range of antimicrobial agents and its potential toxicity for microorganisms that are used for antimicrobial preservation testing. several types of antimicrobial agents including a mixture of methylisothiazolinone and its 5-chloro derivative, dimethylol dimethyl hydantoin, q...

PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the toxic effects of eyedrops containing a fixed combination of 2.0% dorzolamide and 0.5% maleate timolol with or without preservatives on rabbit corneal endothelium. METHODS This study was performed with 22 eyes of New Zealand white rabbits. Dorzolamide/timolol eyedrops with preservative (Cosopt group) or without preservative (Cosopt-S group) were diluted with...

To evaluate the potential environmental and health implications of leaching of wood preservatives in service under different conditions, there is a need for a predictive model that provides estimates of the rate and extent of leaching over a wide range of exposure conditions. In this paper, we test the hypothesis that preservative component emissions can be modeled on the basis of three easily ...

We propose a workflow based on a combination of computed tomography, 3D images and 3D printing to analyse different archaeological material dating from the Iron Age, a weight axis, a helical piece, and a fibula. This workflow enables a preservative analysis of the artefacts that are unreachable because encased either in stone, corrosion or ashes. Computed tomography images together with 3D prin...

UNLABELLED REVIEẂS AIM: When a phacoemulsification, a filtration surgery or a combined surgery are necessary, questions about the convenience of continuing certain antiglaucomatous drugs could appear. The aim of this review article is to unify criteria that will guide daily clinical practice and including the developing algorithms of action in the preoperative and postoperative periods of filtr...
