BACKGROUND Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH) are the major pesticides used worldwide. Converging evidence suggests that GBH, such as Roundup, pose a particular health risk to liver and kidneys although low environmentally relevant doses have not been examined. To address this issue, a 2-year study in rats administering 0.1 ppb Roundup (50 ng/L glyphosate equivalent) via drinking water (giving a...

sporadic alzheimer’s disease (sad) is a multi-factorial disease caused by genetic, epigenetic, environmental and metabolic factors. current understandings of the possible mechanisms of ad such as inflammation and oxidative stresses in the brain have led us to investigation of potential ad therapeutics. currently herbal medicines with fewer side effects comparing to other chemical medicine are i...

the characteristic texture of turrón, torrone and nougat was examined. they are typical european confections prepared from almonds, honey, sugars and/or chocolate. three different instrumental tests: puncture, cutting, and texture profile analysis (tpa), were used in this study and samples prepared from three countries (spain, italy, and france), and by six manufacturing companies (two companie...

development of sensors to detect the location and depth of hard pans in real time is a major restriction on the application of site specific crop management (sscm). in this study, a soil compaction profile sensor equipped with four horizontal operating penetro-meters for on-the-go sensing and mapping of the location and intensity of hard pans arti-ficially formed in a soil bin was developed and...
