Due to high swelling-shrinkage caused by climate change, expansive soil is a significant problem in light construction, road embankments, and slope stability (wet dry). The physical mechanical properties of the are affected repeated drying wetting cycles, particularly changes volume, negative pore water pressure (suction), compressive strength. Fly ash used increase strength reduce plasticity s...

Molecular tools are increasingly accepted as the most sensitive and reliable techniques for malaria diagnosis and epidemiological surveys. Also, collection of finger prick blood spots onto filter papers is the most simple and affordable method for samples preservation and posterior molecular analysis, especially in rural endemic regions where malaria remains a major health problem. Two malaria ...

Knowledge of the radiochemical purity of radiopharmaceuticals is mandatory and can be evaluated by several methods and techniques. Planar chromatography is the technique normally employed in nuclear medicine since it is simple, rapid and usually of low cost. There is no standard system for the chromatographic technique, but price, separation efficiency and short time for execution must be consi...

Escherichia coli introduced into autoclaved filtered river water survived for up to 260 d at temperatures from 4 degrees to 25 degrees C with no loss of viability. Survival times were less in water which was only filtered through either a Whatman filter paper or a 0.45 micron Millipore filter or in untreated water, suggesting that competition with the natural microbial flora of the water was th...

Fisheries activity in Lampung Bay which has been very active recent years is the cultivation of green mussels (P. viridis) for consumption. Located Teluk Betung Timur sub-district, this considered appropriate because environmental parameters that support life P. viridis. The location viridis not far from coastal settlements (±500-600 m settlements). Anthropogenic activities residents as well us...

Datura metel stramonium (leaves) extract has traditionally been used to treat swellings, burns, ulcers, asthma and sinus infections. However, report indicate that this plant is a strong poison linked delirium acute poisoning, which may result in death. Aim: Histomorphological potentials biochemical effects of on the kidneys adult male Wistar rats. Fresh leaves were harvested, cleaned, air-dried...

Despite the evolution of modern medicine, traditional medicine remains widespread in developing countries and its use continues to increase industrialized countries.It is same way that effectiveness hydroalcoholic extract Terminalia ivorensis was tested on feet fungus disease volunteers.
 Objective: The present work oriented preparation an antimicrobial ivorensis, a medicinal plant order e...

METHODS: Nineteen vials of tetrofosmin were radiolabelled with Tc and the percentages of the RCP were determined. Five different methods were compared with the standard RCP testing method (ITLC-SG, 2x20 cm): Whatman 3MM (1x10 cm) with acetone and dichloromethane (method 1); Whatman 3MM (1x10 cm) with ethyl acetate (method 2); aluminum oxide-coated plastic thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plate (...
