a two year field experiment was carried out to evaluate the competitive effects of wild mustard densities growing with rapeseed (cultivar talaye) under different nitrogen rates. treatments were wild mustard densities (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 plant m-2) and nitrogen (n) rates (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 kg n ha-1). the factorial set of treatments was arranged into a randomized complete block design ...

Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are natural constituents of meat and dairy products from ruminants, originating from bacterial biohydrogenation in the rumen. CLA supplementation increases the health benefits of animal-derived foods. There are inconsistent reports of the effects of dietary CLA on chicken’s performance; however, the majority of previous reports cite anti-lipogenic effects of CLA....

A gold(I) catalysed reaction between N-propargylic β-enaminones and arynes was developed to access 3-methylene-1-pyrrolines. The title compounds were obtained in 57-78% yields. This reaction is useful for the generation of substituted 1-pyrrolines exhibiting significant molecular complexity.

The genotoxicity of N-nitrosothiazolidine was studied in a microbial system and in a hepatocellular system. The compound showed positive responses in both tests, exhibiting weak mutagenicity at the lowest level tested (1 mg/plate) in the rec assay in Bacillus subtilis, and inducing statistically significant levels of DNA repair in primary hepatocyte cultures at concentrations ranging from 2 X 1...
