The removal of arsenic from process solutions and effluents has been practiced by the mineral process industries for many years. More recently, because of the recognition that arsenic at low concentrations in drinking water causes severe health effects, the technologies that have been used in the mineral industry are being applied to that situation. Removal of arsenic in process solutions can b...

Abstract This review summarises the current knowledge of mineral nutrition for penaeid shrimp. It investigates how aquatic environment and lifecycle shrimp affect requirements role that minerals play in health. Methods supplying via either water or to feed, novel ways supplementing within are discussed. The individual summarised with recommendations minimum levels dietary inclusion semi‐intensi...

The human body requires a steady and adequate supply of essential nutrients in order to maintain balance—or homeostasis—to continue operating as a finely tuned machine. Of these required nutrients, vitamins and minerals are foundational. They are the sparkplugs that make our metabolic engines run, working as cofactors for enzymes and participating in the process of energy production. One minera...

Dietary trace mineral sources and levels were fed to developing gilts to evaluate their performance responses during the growth phase, but treatments were continued into the reproductive phase in which subsequent reproductive responses were evaluated. In Exp. 1, three groups of gilts (n = 216) were used in a 2 x 2 factorial in a randomized complete block design (6 replicates) with treatment die...

There is a requirement for a noninvasive technique to monitor stem cell differentiation. Several candidates based on optical spectroscopy are discussed in this review: Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy. These techniques are briefly described, and the ability of each to distinguish undifferentiated from...
