Article Type: Full Length Research Article The aim of this investigation was to confirm a trickling filter filled with gravel as an alternative biological process over conventional high cost treatment process with regard to nutrient reduction from brewery wastewater. Steady state evaluation of the trickling filter aerobic and anaerobic biofilm system for nutrient removal was made. The results o...

Endocannabinoids, particularly 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG), impact the directional turning and motility of a developing axon by activating CB(1) cannabinoid receptors (CB(1)Rs) in its growth cone. Recent findings posit that sn-1-diacylglycerol lipases (DAGLα/β) synthesize 2-AG in the motile axon segment of developing pyramidal cells. Coincident axonal targeting of CB(1)Rs and DAGLs prompts t...

Our aim was to describe sperm parameters in residents from Northern Chile. We evaluated in 101 volunteers (18 and 30 years old) urinary and drinking water Boron levels using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry; semen parameters were measured with standardized methods. Each individual was categorized in 3 levels of exposure: low (B levels in urine ≤ 2.94 mgL1 or tap water ≤ 3.0 mgL-1), ...

The physicochemical characterization of the textile industry effluent collected from Oswal Textile Industries, Ludhiana (Punjab.) India has been carried out and the results showed that the temperature (40°C), pH (8.00), Biological Oxygen Demand (260 mgl –1 ), Chemical Oxygen Demand (790 mgl –1 ), Total Suspended Solids (2000 mgl –1 ), Total Dissolved Solids (7000 mgl –1 and colour over the pres...

Pyridine, a suspected genotoxic and formaldehyde, a potent carcinogen, are present in several industrial wastewater including commercial solvent, resin and pesticide manufacturing industries. The extent of pyridine and formaldehyde toxicity in aquatic organisms is unknown. Therefore, in present study the toxicity of pyridine and formaldehyde were investigated in artificial aquatic ecosystem (mi...

field trials with dizigotheeca elegantissima were conducted at the experimental farm of faculty of agriculture, azad university  jiroft  in growth seasons of 2012 year. the aim of this work was to study the effect of foliar application of gibberellic acid [ga3] and benzyladenine [ba] at 0, 50, 100 and 150 mgl-1 on the vegetative growth and photosynthetic pigments of d. elegantissima plants. mos...

background & aim: lemon verbena (lippia citriodora h.b.k.) is a richly scented herb and has a long history as a sacred and medicinal plant. select an appropriate medium in tissue culture is a necessity for success experimental: to evaluate the effect of 10 medium of previous researches for lippia micropropagation (1- ms medium supplemented with bap (3 mgl-1) + iba (0.1 mgl-1) + activated ch...
