BACKGROUND The use of mixed or blended protocols, that utilize both FSH and hMG, for controlled ovarian hyperstimulation is increasing in use. To reduce the number of injections a patient must administer, many physicians instruct their patients to mix their FSH and hMG together to be given as a single injection. Therefore, the goal of this study was to definitively determine if the FSH and LH b...

161 Abstract: Pulsatile systems are best for the drugs, which follows chronopharmacological behaviour where night time dosing is required, drugs having high first-pass effect and having specific site of absorption in GIT. In this study, colon targeted pulsatile release tablets of atenolol was prepared using press coating technique to treat hypertension in the early hours of the morning. Pulsati...

ABSTRACT: Sugarcane is a good source of renewable energy and helps reduce the emission greenhouse gases. Nitrogen has critical role in plant growth; therefore,estimating nitrogen levels essential, remote sensing can improve fertilizer management. This field study selects wavelengths from hyperspectral data on sugarcane canopy to generate models for estimating leaf concentrations. The was carrie...

The challenges of soil degradation and climate change have led to the emergence Conservation Agriculture (CA) as a sustainable alternative tillage-based agriculture systems. Despite recognition positive impacts on health, CA adoption in Africa has remained low. Previous health studies mainly focused ‘scientific’ measurements, without consideration local knowledge, which influences how farmers i...

The performance of the Paci¢c white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone) under various stocking strategies was evaluated in earthen ponds ¢lled with freshwater amended with major ions. Six 0.1-ha earthen ponds located in Pine Blu¡, AR, USA, were ¢lled with freshwater in 2003 and 2004, and potassium magnesium sulphate added to provide 50mgK L 1 and stock salt added to provide 0.5 g L 1 salinity. ...

to evaluate the genetic diversity in sardari bread wheat landrace, purification and selection of lines with good agronomic traits, were carried out for ten cropping seasons (1995-2006) in maragheh and six other dryland agricultural research stations. one hundred and six individual spikes were selected among sardari landrace in the first phase of study (1995- 2000). results of morph-physiologica...

Castor is one of neglected African oil crops with little research attention in Nigeria. In the present research, eighty-six castor genotypes were evaluated at three locations in Niger State, Nigeria. The aim was to estimate the extent of genetic variability and also to examine the associations among the seed yield and its components. The treatments were laid out in an Alpha Lattice Design with ...

line wb73-6 (trompillo, cmb74a-432-25b-1y-ib-1y-ob) was first introduced in iran through a nursery received from cimmyt in 1989. it was selected in a preliminary experiment in zabol research station among the genotypes of ibon in 1990. in other preliminary and advanced yield trails carried out in zabol and other stations in southern provinces of iran with warm climate in 1991-1997, line wb73-6 ...

Free uroporphyrin is decarboxylated by heating in the air to 150--200 degrees C. Complete decarboxylation occurs after heating to 200 degrees C for 5 min, with a yield of 66--75%. Heptacarboxylic porphyrin can be prepared with a yield of 40% by heating uroporphyrin to 150 degrees C for 60 min, and hexacarboxylic porphyrin with a yield of about 20% by heating to 150 degrees C for 2h.

Bioavailability research of soil metals has advanced considerably from default values to validated in vitro bioaccessibility (IVBA) assays for site-specific risk assessment. Previously, USEPA determined that the soil-size fraction representative of dermal adherence and consequent soil ingestion was <250 μm. This size fraction was widely used in testing efforts for both in vivo and in vitro expe...
