The in vitro fate of the saturated hydrocarbon fraction (SF) of Arabian Light crude oil has been studied in PVC cores filled with a coastal marine sediment defaunated by sieving. Experiments were conducted in absence or presence of polychaetes Nereis diversicolor. The luminophore tracer technique was used to quantify the mixing of sediment by worms. Presence of crude oil reduced the building of...

Zeolite Phi is synthesized by two methods reported previously. Results from X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy suggest that t h e materials are physical mixtures of chabazite and offretite; one sample has a small amount of phillipsite. The X-ray powder diffraction data from these samples, and those reported previously, are indexed and their unit-cell parameters compare we...

Background: Chiapas and Veracruz are the main producing states in lowlands of southeastern Mexico, with a total harvested volume 90,146 t grain 2020, joint planting area 151,037 ha. However, cultivation this legume is subject to series biological, climatic edaphic problems, which make average yields notoriously low. The objective study was identify high-yielding black bean lines, resistant dise...

The conservation technologies and traditional techniques were evaluated at Adaptive Research Farm Gujranwala Pakistan during Rabi 2007-2008 and 2008-2009. The sowing techniques evaluated were broadcasting (T-1), Rotary Tillage Drill (T-2), Zero Tillage Drill (T-3) and Rabi Drill (T-4). Rotary Tillage Drill showed significantly high germination count (220.50 m -2 ) followed by Rabi Drill (211.50...

The field experiment on broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica L.) taking three planting dates viz., 21 November, 01 December and 11 December, 2019 four genotypes, namely BARI Broccoli-1, Thiland-1, Thailand-2 Japan-1 was conducted during rabi season of 2019-20 in the experimental Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, On-Farm Division, Dawlatpur, Khulna to investigate effect growth yiel...

This study aimed to analyze the seasonal dynamics of sugar beet leaf and root yield quality in different plant populations nitrogen fertilization rate. The field trials were set as four planting densities (60,000 140,000 plants ha?1) three spring rates: no fertilization, pre-sowing (45 kg ha?1 N), with top dressing (99 N 2014 85.5 2015. changes growth done measuring area (LA), index (LAI), spec...

BACKGROUND Hyaluronan (HA) is a connective tissue component with unique water binding and pro-inflammatory properties. It has been suggested that HA is involved in normal renal water handling but also in several pathological conditions such as organ rejection and ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. METHODS In anaesthetized normal rats we investigated if renal cortical HA accumulation and the i...

Immune tolerance induction (ITI) with aggressive infusion of factor VIII (FVIII) is the current strategy used to eradicate FVIII inhibitors and restore normal FVIII pharmacokinetics in inhibitor patients. Whether the use of FVIII products containing von Willebrand factor (VWF) will affect the efficacy of ITI is still controversial. In this study, we explored the impact of VWF on FVIII memory im...

An integrated chemical-physical-biological treatment concept for the low-cost treatment of domestic wastewater is proposed. Domestic wastewater was subjected to a chemically enhanced primary treatment (CEPT), followed by treatment in an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor. In addition, a regenerable zeolite was used to remove NH4+, either after CEPT pretreatment or after biological t...
