several factors effect on sorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) in soil. co-existence of metals and organic matter of soil are among important affecting factors on sorptive behavior of pahs. this research investigated the effect of organic matter content and heavy metals (lead, nickel and zinc), on sorption of phenanthrene onto kaolinite. for this purpose, sorption of the organic ...

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive form of primary brain tumor with median survival of 12 months. To improve clinical outcomes, it is critical to develop in vitro models that support GBM proliferation and invasion for deciphering tumor progression and screening drug candidates. A key hallmark of GBM cells is their extreme invasiveness, a process mediated by matrix metalloprote...

The present study aimed to evaluate the potential of improving feeding value Egyptian clover (EC), ryegrass (R), triticale (T), barley (B), and oats (O) monoculture, or mixed with (EC+R), (EC+O), barely (EC+B), (EC+T) at 75:25% seeding rate, respectively, during two successive winter seasons 2018/19 2019/20. Harvesting plots was carried out 5 cm stubble height after 60, 100, 140 days from sowin...

This study was conducted to determine the chemical composition, digestibility, degradability and nutritive value of madder, Rubia tinctorum L.  and alfalfa Medicago sativa. using in vitro and in situ measurements. The mean values for OM, CP, NDF, ADF and EE were 892.5, 172.0, 306.5, 219.4 and 16.0 g/kg DM for madder hay, and 921.3, 141.4, 482.0, 361.1 and 6.50 g/kg DM for alfalfa hay, respectiv...

Aim: Fruit processing and consumption yield a significant amount of by-products as waste, which can be used as potential nutrient suppliers for livestock. “Kinnow” (Citrus nobilis Lour x Citrus deliciosa Tenora) is one of the most important citrus fruit crops of North Indian States. Its residues are rich in carbohydrates but poor in protein and account for approximately 55-60% of the raw weight...

land cover change constitutes one of main way of alteration of soil organic matter in both quantitative and qualitative terms. the goal of this study was to compare the carbon stock and the isotopic signature of the organic matter in the soil of areas with different land use, covered with forest and grass (pasture). the study area is located at sorocaba, sp, brazil. using un-deformed soil sampl...

The method of Boisen and Fernandez [Boisen, S., Fernandez, J.A., 1997. Prediction of total tract digestibility of energy in feedstuffs and pig diets by in vitro analyses, Anim. Feed Sci. Technol. 68, 277–286] for measuring in vitro fecal digestibility of organic matter (OMdv) or in vitro digestible organic matter content (DOMv, g/kg) was used on 113 compound feeds (79 as mash and 34 as pellets)...

The nutritive value of pistachio epicarp (PE) was evaluated by in situ and in vitro techniques. Chemical analysis indicated that PE was high in crude protein (11.30%) and low in neutral detergent fiber (26.20%). Total phenols, total tannins, condensed tannins and hydrolysable tannins contents in PE were 8.29%, 4.48%, 0.49% and 3.79%, respectively. Ruminal dry matter and crude ...
