An adjuvant composition containing a) one or more alkyl glucamides of the formula (I), wherein R1 represents a linear or branched alkyl group having 5 to 9 carbon atoms, R2 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms; b) at least one water-soluble ammonium salt, preferably selected from the group consisting of ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, ammonium nitrate urea, ammonium phosphat...

The Algal-Bacterial Selenium Removal (ABSR) system has demonstrated an ability to efficiently remove nitrogen from agricultural drainage water in the San Joaquin Valley. However, it is not known whether the ABSR system can effectively reduce nitrate and nitrite concentrations in drainage water with high levels of salinity. In order to determine whether the ABSR system can be used to treat salty...

An isocratic reversed phase stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) assay method was developed and validated for quantitative determination of Flucytosine in bulk drugs. An isocratic, reversed phase HPLC method was developed to separate the drug from the degradation products, using a Water Nova Pack C18 (250 x 4.6) mm, 5μ column and the mobile phase containing 1.0gm ...

In response to salt water stress there is a marked increase in the plasma membranes of the epithelial secretory cells of the salt glands of domestic ducklings. In the present study, the fine-structural localization of the acyltransferases involved in synthesis of phospholipids has been investigated in this tissue during this increased biogenesis of plasma membranes. The specific activity of the...

Soil is much more than just dirt. Often called the “living skin of the planet Earth,” soil is a mixture of organic and mineral material, air, and water that is critical for the support of life [1]. Soil provides structure for plant roots, retains water to ensure plants have access long after it rains, and holds nutrients so they are available to organisms over time [1]. Soil is not material dev...

OBJECTIVE There has been a worrisome increase in the prevalence of dental fluorosis worldwide. The objective of this study was to review research on dental fluorosis prevalence in Mexico in order to assess if that prevalence is rising and if dental fluorosis constitutes a public health problem for the country. METHODS Clinical, experimental, and review reports were searched for in a number of...

A great number of organic and inorganic substances pollute the water of the Rhine. The greatest concentration is formed by the chlorides, as their quantity exceeds that of the suiphates by about 50 per cent. At the German—Dutch frontier, the mean annual value of the chloride charge of the river amounts to approximately 350 kg/s C1. About 40 per cent, or 130 kg/s, of this quantity are residual s...

A great number of organic and inorganic substances pollute the water of the Rhine. The greatest concentration is formed by the chlorides, as their quantity exceeds that of the sulphates by about 50 per cent. At the Gerrnan-Dutch frontier, the rnean annual value of the chloride charge ofthe river amounts to approxirnately 350 kg/s Cl-. About 40 per cent, or 130 kg/s, oftbis quantity are residual...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of priming on seed germination under salt stress and gene expression in seeds and seedlings of P. angulata L. After priming for 10 days, seed germination was tested in plastic trays containing 15 ml of water (0 dS m-1 - control) or 15 ml of NaCl solution (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 dS m-1). Fresh and dry weight of shoots and roots of seedlings were ev...
