It was shown by the conductometric study that formation of micelles in cetyltrimethylam¬monium bromide (CTAB) – dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) water system occurs at higher critical micelle concentrations (CMC) than CTAB system. The solubilization nitroxoline this upon reaching CMC determined spectrophotometric method. Box–Behnken design used to obtain systems with highest light absorption nitroxolin...

Sex determination is a critical developmental decision with major ecological and evolutionary consequences, yet a large variety of sex determination mechanisms exist and we have a poor understanding of how they evolve. Theoretical and empirical work suggest that compensatory adaptations to mutations in genes involved in sex determination may play a role in the evolution of these pathways. Here,...

Macrophages demonstrate a high level of plasticity, with the ability to undergo dynamic transition between M1 and M2 polarized phenotypes. The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in regulating macrophage polarization has been largely undefined. In this study, we found that miRNA let-7c is expressed at a higher level in M-BMM (M2 macrophages) than in GM-BMM (M1 macrophages). let-7c levels are also greate...

Cff%E OF PROJECT: Research in Marine Fungi Objectives: (l) Development of a metal-buffer6d artificial sea water and a more defined medium to peinlt harvesting large quantities of Labyrlnthula cells. (2) Development of a completely synthetic medium for Thraustochytrium and determination of its response to cobalamin. (3) Determination of the specificity of the steroid requirement of Labyrlnthula ...

In the present study, a new chemically modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) is constructed for rapid, accurate, simple, highly sensitive, and selective determination of Mo (VI) using differential pulse voltammetry. The electrode was prepared using magnetic nickel zinc ferrite nanocomposite (Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4), as the modifier in CPE (Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4/CPE). Mo (VI) was determined after preconcentr...

By coupling the Fenton reaction with the glucose oxidase (GOD)-catalyzed reaction, we have developed a fluorometric method for the determination of glucose; the linear response range and the detection limit are 0.108-2.59 microg/ml and 0.0432 microg/ml, respectively. This approach is selective and has the advantages of using inexpensive reagents and avoiding interferences. Satisfactory results ...
