a new kinetic spectrophotometic method for the determination of trace amount chromium (iii) in teareal samples has been described based on it s the catalytic effect on the oxidations of 1 - ( 2 –pyridylazo ) - 2 - naphthol, (pan), by potassium bromated in sulfuric acid. the reaction is followedspec- trophotometrically by measuring the decrease in the absorbance at 469 nm. under the optimumcondi...

A new kinetic spectrophotometic method for the determination of trace amount manganese(II) in Tea real samples has been described based on it s the catalytic effect on the oxidations of 1 - (2 – Pyridyl Azo) - 2 - Naphthol, (PAN), by potassium bromated in sulfuric acid. The reaction is followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in the absorbance at 547.5 nm. Under the optimum con...

ADVERTISEMENT In my last post, I critiqued “Lethal aggression in Pan is better explained by adaptive strategies than human impacts,” a new paper in Nature that represents a broadside in the old debate over whether war is innate. Although the paper does not mention human warfare, two of its lead authors, primatologists Michael Wilson and Richard Wrangham, told reporters that their data “bolster ...

Various authors have suggested behavioural similarities between tool use in early hominins and chimpanzee nut cracking, where nut cracking might be interpreted as a precursor of more complex stone flaking. In this paper, we bring together and review two separate strands of research on chimpanzee and human tool use and cognitive abilities. Firstly, and in the greatest detail, we review our recen...

Bonobos are the only ape species, other than humans, that have demonstrated prosocial behaviors toward groupmates and strangers. However, bonobos have not been tested in the most frequently used test of prosociality in animals. The current study tested the other-regarding preferences of bonobos in two experiments using the prosocial choice task. In the first experiment subjects preferred a food...

Objective(s): A Box-Behnken design was used for evaluation of Eudragit coated diclofenac pellets. The purpose of this work was to optimize diclofenac pellets to improve the physicochemical properties using experimental design. Materials and Methods: Diclofenac was loaded onto the non-pareil beads using conventional coating pan. Film coating of pellets was done at the same pan. The effect of pla...

Dry deposition of peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) is known to have a phytotoxic impact on plants under photochemical smog conditions, but it may also lead to higher productivity and threaten species richness of vulnerable ecosystems in remote regions. However, underlying mechanisms or controlling factors for PAN deposition are not well understood and studies on dry deposition of PAN are limited. In ...
