Because boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis Boh. develops partially protected inside cotton fruiting structures, once they become established in a field, they are difficult to control, even with nearly continuous insecticide spray. During two cotton-growing seasons in the Semiárido region of Pernambuco State, Brazil, we tested the use of kaolin sprays to disrupt plant colonization through visual cu...

the effect of kaolin on fruit and oil of olive cv. `zard’ was evaluated in a commercial orchard in fasacity, fars province. mature olive trees cv. `zard’ were sprayed with 0, 3 and 6% kaolin after 60 days, 60and 90 days and 60, 90, 120 days after full bloom. results showed that kaolin concentration and sprayingtime had not significant effects on physicochemical parameters but they had significa...

Effects of kaolin applicati on were evaluated on water stress in pistachio cv. ‘Ohadi’. This experiment was conducted in one of research sites at the Pistachio Research Institute in Rafsanjan (Kerman province) in . The results show that individual and interaction effects of all treatments were significant on nutrition absorption in leaves, although there was not a steady effect on all the eleme...

In this research modified Kaolin by Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide is used as an adsorbent for the removal of Reactive Blue 21 from aqueous solutions. Response Surface Methodology was used to study the effect of independent variables, such as Reactive Blue 21 dye concentration (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 mg/L), time (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50), initial pH (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10) and modified Kaolin dosage ...

When Folin and Denis’ described their method for the estimation of non-protein nitrogen in blood, it became possible to make such determinations quickly, accurately, and with the use of only small amounts of blood. The method rapidly came into general use and has proved to be of great service. It has, however, not escaped modification in the interest of increased accuracy and convenience. The p...

BACKGROUND Protease inhibitors, particularly ritonavir, causes significant gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, even at low doses. This ritonavir-induced nausea could be related to its oxidative stress in the gut. Alleviation of drug-induced nausea is important in effectively increasing patients' compliance and improving their quality of life. Conventional anti-emetic drugs can only pa...

Drought, elevated air temperature, and high evaporative demand are increasingly frequent during summer in grape growing areas like the Mediterranean basin, limiting grapevine productivity and berry quality. The foliar exogenous application of kaolin, a radiation-reflecting inert mineral, has proven effective in mitigating the negative impacts of these abiotic stresses in grapevine and other fru...

Hydrocephalus is a common neurological disease in humans, but a uniform and particularly effective hydrocephalic animal model amenable to proper appraisal and deep study has not yet been established. In this study, we attempted to construct a high-efficiency model of hydrocephalus via intraventricular kaolin injection. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: the cont...
