Agenda 2020 has identified the need to improve the quality of recovered fiber. This project addresses this challenge with the use oxidative enzymes, such as laccase and soybean peroxidase/hydrogen peroxide, that increase the fiber charge of recycled fibers. By increasing the number of surface carboxylic acid groups on recycle fiber, this treatment will improve paper strength. In addition, oxida...

Objective: In this study, we elucidated the ameliorative effect of aqueous extract of leaves of Mumiju against acetic acid-induced experimental colitis in male rats. Materials and Methods: The animals were randomly divided into four groups (n=7) including I: control group, II: vehicle group (injected with 2 ml acetic acid (4%) intra rectally), III and IV: treatment groups which received Mumiju ...

objective: today, esophageal cancer (ec) has become one of the most common cancer types in china. therefore, new drug and therapeutic strategies are urgently needed to improve postoperative survival rate of patients with ec. as a food additive, several lines of evidence have shown that citric acid can be served as glycolysis suppressor to inhibit growth of some tumor cells. however, little is k...

The present work aimed at investigating changes in growth and some metabolic activities in NaCl-stressed bean plants, and assessing the role of ascorbic acid to alleviate these changes. The field experiment was carried out to study the response of presoaked fava bean seeds (Vicia fava cv. Misr 2) in freshly prepared ascorbic acid (50 ppm ≈ 0.3 mM; as recommended dose as described by  El-Tayeb, ...

in order to examine the effects of biological and chemical fertilizers with the use of salicylic acid on the agronomic characteristics of corn as a factorial experiment in randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station in 2011 was boroujerd. factors examined included three levels of phosphorus fertilizer (0, 100 and 150 kg ha), two levels of biolog...

effect of seed priming by salicylic acid and application of controlled water stress in flowering stage on some physiological characters such as relative water content, chlorophyll index, photosynthetic rates, transpiration rates, stomatal conductance, and leaf internal co2 concentration was investigated on cowpea (vigna unguiculata l. cv. parastoo) plants. experiment was done as a split block d...

a new, local agro-industrial waste was valorized by chemical treatment and tested for its ability to remove cationic dye from aqueous solution. tendu (diospyros melanoxylon) leaves refuse, a solid waste from bidi industry which caused disposal problem, was studied as a biosorbent. raw tendu waste (tlr), along with sulfuric acid carbonized tendu waste (tlr-cm) and tendu waste treated with dilute...
