In this paper we describe the ongoing work on the Circumstantial Event Ontology (CEO), a newly developed ontology for calamity events that models semantic circumstantial relations between event classes, where we define circumstantial as explicit and implicit causal relations. The circumstantial relations are defined manually in the ontology for classes of events that involve a change to the sam...

background and objectives: the present study was conducted to evaluate the presence of biochemical contents and trace elements, and detect phytochemicals in the edible part extracts of asparagus officinalis dc and chlorophytum comosum linn by hptlc. materials and methods: the biochemical contents and trace elements were determined by different biochemical methods, and trace elements’ presence w...

The present study deals with the oral supplementation with (50, 100 and 150 ?g/ml) synergetic effect of potassium and magnesium chloride on the fat body glycogen, protein, total lipids and haemolymph trehalose, protein of fifth instar larvae of Bombyx mori L (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae). The observed parameters significantly increased in all the treated groups when compared with those of the corre...

Low-salt solid-state fermentation soy sauce was prepared with defatted soy bean and wheat bran. Biochemical changes during the aging of the soy sauce mash were investigated. Results showed that after a 15-day aging period, the contents of total nitrogen, formol titration nitrogen, free amino acids, reducing sugar, total sugar and the brown color were increased. However, pH was decreased during ...

Drought stress is a serious adverse factor that limits sunflower growth and productivity. The stress induces a range of physiological and biochemical responses in sunflower. So, evaluation of defense systems is important for producing resistant cultivars. In this study, physio-biochemical changes and antioxidant enzymes activitiesof six sunflower lines were evaluated under normal and irrigation...

Mancozeb, a fungicide of a manganese-zinc ethylenebisdithio-carbamate (EBDC), was administered by gavage at doses of 200, 400, 600 and 800 mg/kg/day to female virgin mice for 30 days. The mice were autopsied on 31st day. Mice were also treated with similar doses for a period of 30 days and the treatment was withdrawn for a further period of 30 days for reversible study. The mice were autopsied...

Çalışmada endüstriyel kurutma tekniği ile 4 farklı trabzon hurması çeşidine ait taze ve kurutulmuş meyvelerin biyokimyasal içeriklerinde meydana gelen değişiklikler araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla, meyveleri 65°C havası bağıl nemi %10 ürün nihai nem değeri olarak içeriği olacak şekilde kurutulmuştur. Daha sonra meyvelerde analizler yürütülmüştür. Trabzon meyvelerinde işlemi sonrası, toplam flavonoid...

Hydroponic system is a method of growing crops or plants in soilless system, by suspending the plant nutrient-rich solution, with reduced interferences from such factors as soil quality, irrigation and climate. However, there limited information available on how hydroponic planting will affect plant’s bioactivities, well associated biochemical, mineral, phytochemical antioxidant enzyme conten...
