Shrimp (Penaeus monodon and P. vannamei) specimens were submitted to the University of Arizona's Aquaculture Pathology Laboratory (UAZAPL) and to the Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory (TVMDL) in 2007 and 2008 from shrimp-rearing facilities in India and Indonesia for histological testing. These were found to present prominent golden to greenish-brown needle- and plate-like birefring...

Melamine (2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-triazine) has been used on numerous occasions by individuals as a food adulterant to boost the apparent nitrogen content of food. Together with cyanuric acid, melamine causes acute kidney failure. In the recent infant formula incident, 150,000 children were hospitalized and several died. The WHO recently requested the development of a rapid method to quantitativel...

The liposomal membrane transport assay, which uses 8-hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid to monitor the internal pH of vesicles (the HPTS assay), is a widely used technique for analysing activity anionophore-facilitated across phospholipid membrane. This paper describes stepwise conduct this detailing both perks and pitfalls using method determine an anionophore mechanism.

Nitrogen modified cobalt catalysts supported on carbon were prepared by pyrolysis of the mixture generated from cobalt(II) acetate in aqueous solution of melamine or waste melamine resins, which are widely used as industrial polymers. The obtained nanostructured materials catalyze the transfer hydrogenation of N-heteroarenes with formic acid in the absence of base. The optimal Co/Melamine2@C-70...

In the current study, amorphous silica nanoparticles were easily extracted from rice husk ash. The target composite was synthesized by the direct incorporation of chloropropyl groups through the condensation of nanosilica and 3-chloropropyl trimethoxysilane and then grafting of 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine (Melamine) onto the propyl groups by the simple nucleophilic substitution reaction (RHA@...

INTRODUCTION The current report detailed an investigation of melamine-linked urinary stones in children exposed to contaminated formula. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 1062 children fed with melamine-contaminated infant formula were screened for urinary stones. Sixty healthy children without melamine exposure were recruited as a control group. Ultrasonography of the urinary tract system was ...

Non-metallic functionalized melamine was used for synthesizing the oxygen, sulfur, and phosphorous doped g-C3N4. The with sulfuric acid, phosphoric acetic acid phosphorus, oxygen doping. XPS other characterization techniques confirmed this
