Sea-bottom plowing is originally a method used to oxidize sediment by stirring the bottom with trawl fishing tool, and its effect in increasing primary productivity of water column was investigated western part Seto Inland Sea Japan. Preliminary field sampling showed that diatom resting stage cells were abundant tested area at 1.5–2.6 × 10 5 MPN g -1 wet sediment. When added filtered seawater, ...

BACKGROUND The present work was designed to appraise how different extraction solvents and techniques affect the extractability of antioxidant and antimicrobial components from Lantana camara (L. camard) flowers. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four extraction solvents including 100% methanol, 80% methanol, 100% ethanol and 80% ethanol coupled with three extraction techniques namely stirring, microwave-...

By shining a tightly focused laser light on a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) and moving the centre of the beam along a spiral path one may stir the BEC and create vortices. It is shown that one can induce rotation of the BEC in the direction opposite to the direction of stirring. When a spoon, stick or another object of a similar shape is used to stir a liquid, the liquid rotates in the directi...

Importance of pond based carp polyculture as a popular technique for fish production in Bangladesh is well documented [1]. It has further potentials to improve the livelihood of the poor and marginal peoples [2]. Potentials of pond based fish production towards livelihood improvement are also explored well by Hossain et al. [3] for Barind area having characteristic soil-water qualities like low...

According to the manufacturer (Kodak pathe) of the LR-115 Type 2 films, which are widely used in environmental radioactivity studies, the exposed films should be etched in 10% solution of NaOH, while the temperature of the etching solution is to be kept at 60C. The optimum time of etching depends on different conditions; like geometry of the bath, temperature etc. To determine the optimal etchi...
