BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Korean Red Ginseng marc with aluminum sulfate as litter amendments on ammonia, soluble reactive phosphorus, and pathogen populations in poultry litters. METHODS Increasing levels of Korean Red Ginseng marc with aluminum sulfate were applied onto the surface of rice hull as a top-dress application; untreated rice hulls served as c...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effects of quercetin, rutin, hesperidin and myricetin against reactive oxygen species production with the oxidizing action of tert-butylhydroperoxide in erythrocytes from normal subjects and sickle cell anemia carriers treated with hydroxyurea. METHODS Detection of intracellular reactive oxygen species was carried out using a lipo...

We present Big Red, a visual editor for bigraphs and bigraphical reactive systems, based upon Eclipse. The editor integrates with several existing bigraph tools to permit simulation and reachability analysis of bigraphical models. We give a brief introduction to the bigraphs formalism, and show how these concepts manifest within the tool using a small motivating example developed in Big Red. We...

The presence of synthetic dyes in textile wastewater is a problematic issue for environmentalist. Nowadays, dye removal is practiced via different methods. Among all these methods, biodecolorization is an ideal technique. The present research apples vermicompost microflora to remove reactive black- C, pH = 7, and under anaerobic condition. At 36h, removal efficiencies of 94.79%, 94.06%, and 93....

Excessive discharge of synthetic azo dyes into the aquatic ecosystem is a global concern. Here, we develop green approach to remediate dye pollutants by fabricating an easily separable bio-nanocomposite, based on nanofibrils from whey protein concentrate together with montmorillonite. The nanocomposite was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy...

A mixed hardulood stand composed of 33% oak (Quercus “pp.), 33% yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.), and 14% other spec ies, was clearcut in 1963. Twenty years lo ter a deueloping, even-aged stand of pedominantly sprout origin is domi?gated by yellow-poplar, black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), red maple (Acer rubrum L.), and sweet birch (Betula lenta L.). The 0ak.s are a minor and de...
