Habitat characteristics were examined in two marshes and the littoral zones of two lakes in central Florida to determine their effect on the density and distribution of Coquillettidia perturbans. Larval and water samples were collected and habitat characteristics were recorded at monthly intervals for one year. Several significantly different physicochemical parameters were found between the ma...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of addition of soymilk on physicochemical, microbial, and sensory characteristics of milk fermented with lactobacillus acidophilus. soybeans were blended 1:5 w/v with distilled water. the prepared soymilk was added to milk in combinations of 20%, 40%, and 60%. milk was used as the control. all the samples were sterilized and fermented w...

Present work was designed to study the physicochemical parameters of four lakes of Udaipur known as the “City of Lakes” of Tripura state. The studied lakes are Amar Sagar (AS), Dhani Sagar (DS), Jagannath Dighi (JD) and Mahadeb Dighi (MD). To evaluate the water quality of the lakes and to identify the pollution sources random sampling was done during the month of April, 2014. Collected samples ...

a research plan was developed to evaluate the occurrence of enteroviruses, giardia cysts and cryptosporidium oocysts in thirty-five different sites in the city of mashhad, iran. the occurrence of these pathogenic microorganisms was evaluated to investigate a possible health risk in the communities. for the detection of enteroviruses in water samples, the conventional method of cell culture, usi...

evaluation of surface water quality is a complex process undertakingmultiple parameters. converting great amount of parameters into a simpler expressionand enabling easy interpretation of data are the main purposes of water quality indices.the main aim of this study is to plan effective water resources management system forkarun river by combination of ccmewqi and geographic information system ...

The study was to determine the concentration of aluminium (Al) and study the physicochemical parameters (pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), turbidity, and residual chlorine) in drinking water supply in selected palm oil estates in Kota Tinggi, Johor. Water samples were collected from the estates with the private and the public water supplies. The sampling points were at the water source (S), the...

In the present study, the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of different Iranian honey samples are investigated using various multivariate techniques in order to develop a quality control model. Forty-eight Iranian honey samples were tested for 15 physicochemical and antioxidant parameters. The parameters for which the samples were tested included color intensity, moisture, ...

The present study investigates the genotoxic, mutagenic, and cytotoxic potential of surface waters in urban streams using Allium cepa and analyzes the applicability of this assay for environmental monitoring. Water samples were collected from three streams located in the urban area of a municipality in the south of Brazil. For each stream, two samples were collected, one upstream and one downst...
