Efficacy of thiamethoxam (Cruiser) and imidacloprid (Gaucho) were evaluated as seed treatments for controlling European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) and Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) larvae in stored grain. At approximately 22-26 degrees C, all fifth instar European corn borers died after two or 4 d of exposure to corn treated with 250 and 500 ppm thiamethoxam, resp...

In this study, we evaluated the dependence of saturation pulse length on APT imaging of diffuse gliomas using a parallel transmission-based technique. Twenty-two patients with diffuse gliomas (9 low-grade gliomas, LGGs, and 13 high-grade gliomas, HGGs) were included in the study. APT imaging was conducted at 3T with a 2-channel parallel transmission scheme using three different saturation pulse...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this in vitro study was to compare the fluoride uptake into incipient enamel lesions of a novel 970 ppm F- ion SnF2 over-the-counter (OTC) gel (Enamelon Preventive Treatment Gel) and a novel 1150 ppm F- ion OTC toothpaste (Enamelon), each delivering amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), to the uptake from two different prescription strength, 5000 ppm F- ion dentifrices c...

The nonradiative deactivation of the excited state of europium(III)-based phosphors via OH-vibrations in the presence of water allows the detection of moisture in nitrogen at concentration levels down to at least 25 ppm (0.09% RH).

Macrophages from mice were cultured at 37 degrees C with 1640 medium containing 10% bovine serum. The macrophage suspension was made from 50 Swiss mice and was cultured in the following groups: control group; coal dust group (with added coal dust particles (10 micrograms/ml) smaller than 4 microns diameter); subdivided zinc-coal dust group (as coal dust group with zinc added in three different ...

Field experiment were carried out at the Research and Production Station of National Centre, Nubaria region, Behiera Governorate, Egypt during 2019/2020 to study effects compost zinc foliar application on growth yield production canola under drought condition. The water stress treatments (75 40% holding capacity, WHC) occupied main plots rates (0, 2, 4 6 ton fed-1) allocated random in sub-plots...

BACKGROUND Medicinal leech, Hirudo medicinalis, has been used in plastic and reconstructive surgery, to relieve venous congestion and to improve the microrevascularization of flaps. In many countries, wild leeches are still provided from local markets and utilised with antibiotic prophylaxies. In this research, results of identification of bacteria in the transport fluid is reported, oral and i...

Essential micronutrients are required for humans to sustain proper physiological body processes and a healthy health condition. Micronutrient deficiencies, such as iron, zinc, iodine, create global concerns people. Zinc iron deficiency frequent in chickpea growing regions across the world. Bio-fortification of pulse grains, especially with Fe Zn by agronomic bio-fortification, is simplest, most...
