In this study, a pristine biochar (BC) and MgCl2-modified (MBC) were prepared using Pennisetum sp. straw for removing Cd2+ from aqueous solutions. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging combined with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), photoelectron (XPS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), as well the surface area porosity analyses used to reveal physico-chemical characteristics of...

Biochar prepared from agricultural waste resource coconut shells was used as the original charcoal, which oxidatively modified and characterized using batch adsorption tests before after modification by SEM, FTIR, surface area, elemental analyses. The removal capacity mechanism of biochar for Pb2+ Cd2+ in water were investigated, its kinetics thermodynamics discussed. findings demonstrated that...

Interleukin (IL) 12 is a 70-kD heterodimeric cytokine produced by antigen-presenting cells (APCs) such as macrophages in response to infectious pathogens and interferon (IFN) gamma. The varied immunomodulatory effects of IL-12 include the stimulation of proliferation and IFN-gamma production by T cells, and it also has a central role in the development of the T helper cell type 1 immune phenoty...

Interleukin (IL) 12 is a 70-kD heterodimeric cytokine produced by antigen-presenting cells (APCs) such as macrophages in response to infectious pathogens and interferon (IFN) 3'. The varied immunomodulatory effects of I1-12 include the stimulation of proliferation and IFN-3, production by T cells, and it also has a central role in the development of the T hdper cell type 1 immune phenotype. We ...

The textile industry produces enormous volumes of wastewater which must be treated effectively. In this study, biosorbent from the agricultural waste potato peels (PP), is environmentally friendly and easy to find everywhere, was used for treatment real wastewater. Physical modification, chemical activation, bio-hybrid high-pressure modification processes were applied PP investigate organic pol...

The effects of pharmacological agents on the T-type Ca2+ current were studied in dissociated spermatogenic cells from the mouse. Ca2+ currents were elicited by depolarization in 10 mM Ca2+ and recorded in the whole-cell configuration of the patch clamp technique. The T-type current was inhibited by the following compounds: PN200-110 (IC50 = 4 x 10(-8) M) > nifedipine (IC50 = 4 x 10(-7) M) > pim...
