leaf size indices of the tree species in the peatland of agusan del sur in mindanao in philippines was examined to deduce the variation of forest structure and observed forest zonation.  using raunkiaer and webb’s leaf size classification, the leaf morphometrics of seven tree species consistently found on the established sampling plots were determined.  the species includes ternstroemia philipp...

The effect of L-tyrosine doping on various properties of potassium dihydrogen phosphate single crystals grown by slow cooling along with seed rotation method has been investigated. The crystalline nature of the grown crystals has been analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction analysis. The presence of various functional groups is identified by Fourier transform spectroscopy. Optical transparency of ...

The effect on ileostomy function of codeine phosphate, Lomotil, or Isogel was tested in 20 subjects at home living a normal life, studied over two three-day periods on and off treatment. Codeine phosphate 60 mg three times daily was associated with a reduction in the mean total weight of ileostomy output and the ileostomy outputs of water, sodium, and potassium (p < 0.05). The proportion of fae...

In the protection of heathers against shoot dieback caused by Pestalotiopsis sydowiana, highest percentage effectiveness 92.6% to 100% was found on plants sprayed 12 times every 7 days with active substances: iprodione, pyraclostrobin + boscalid and trifloxystrobin biotechnical agents containing: microcrystalline chitosan extract from grapefruit seed pulp, an efficacy 76.9% 100%. The substances...

: World population has been continuously raised and therefore due to this fact new source of foods, particularly proteins, are in demand. In recent years, single cell protein has been considered as an accepted substitute for animal and plant proteins. In this study, single cell protein production was studied in a batch submerged culture using Aspergillus niger PTCC5012. Experimental design was ...

The steady state kinetics of sodium and potassium ion transport adenosine triphosphatase (EC 3.6-l. 3) suggests an activating action of adenosine triphosphate in addition to its action as a phosphate donor. This action might be an acceleration of dissociation of Kf or its congeners from the enzyme. To test this possibility transient kinetics of the phosphoenzyme was investigated. In membranes f...

Pollution by heavy metal cadmium (Cd) in soil is still serious and control measures are constantly updated. In this paper, one indoor culture method was applied to investigate the effect of phosphate thermo-activated nano silicate combined application on speciation transformation. A total 7 treatments were designed, which were: simulated cadmium-contaminated without recorded as reference (CK) t...

Losartan potassium, Valsartan , Telmisartan and Irbesartan are angiotensin-II-receptor antagonists (ARA II) group which used in treatment of hypertension alone or in combination with other drugs mainly Hydrochlorothiazide. RP- HPLC method was developed for the assay of three angiotensin-II-receptor antagonists (ARA-IIs) in presence of Hydrochlorothiazide. The method was performed by reversed ph...

Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is an acute, life-threatening condition that occurs either spontaneously or as a complication of cytoreductive antitumor therapy, and in both children adults. As result TLS, intracellular components are released into the extracellular space, leading to dysregulation body's homeostasis due accumulation uric acid, phosphate potassium ions, hypocalcemia, which may lead c...

Topical solvent treatment removes lipids from the stratum corneum leading to a marked increase in transepidermal water loss (TEWL). This disturbance stimulates a variety of metabolic changes in the epidermis leading to rapid repair of the barrier defect. Using an immersion system we explored the nature of the signal leading to barrier repair in intact mice. Initial experiments using hypotonic t...
