We evaluated the efficiency of five membrane filters for recovery of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts and Giardia lamblia cysts. These filters included the Pall Life Sciences Envirochek (EC) standard filtration and Envirochek high-volume (EC-HV) membrane filters, the Millipore flatbed membrane filter, the Sartorius flatbed membrane filter (SMF), and the Filta-Max (FM) depth filter. Distilled and ...

In this study, a detailed hydrochemical evaluation has been made to determine the chemical processes of spring waters and their suitability for irrigation. The study area consists drainage basin Gökpınar dam fertile soils irrigable agriculture. During period August 2017 October 2018, regular samples were collected monthly from 10 140 in total subjected analysis. For purpose, 11 parameters such ...

Tannin is a very versatile industrial material found in many parts of plants such as the bark of Eucalyptus camadulensis (EC). The bark of EC that normally peels off during the dry season has usually served as anxious substrate for pathogens. In the present experiment, tannin was leached from the bark of EC using water as solvent. Tannin produced varied from 5 to 12%. The yield obtained was fou...

Laundry detergent containing anionic surfactants was used to test their effects on plant growth through irrigation water. Lettuce and okra were cultivated in pot experiment and irrigated with distilled water containing domestic detergent at three different concentrations: low concentration (LC) of 0.1 g L-1; normal concentration (NC) of 1.0 g L-1 and high concentration (HC) of 5.0 g L-1 and dis...

Spores are formed when vegetative cells of sporing aerobes are shaken with distilled water at 37 degrees . These spores are derived from the small number of cells which survive lysis. The sporulation process involves increase and concentration of solid material in the cell, and is achieved at the expense of the products of lysis of 80 to 90 per cent of the resuspended cells.

BACKGROUND Fatigue is a biological phenomenon that involves a feeling of extreme physical or mental tiredness that could potentially cause some severe chronic diseases. Recently, diet therapy has provided a new alternative to alleviate physical fatigue. In our previous study, addition of Cordyceps militaris (C. militaris) into an extruded product was shown to provide high nutrition and unique f...

The solubility of four dental cement bases was measured in simulated dentinal fluid and distilled water to evaluate the relevancy of the American Dental Association solubility test for cement bases in contact with vital dentine. A simulated dentinal fluid was formulated utilizing glucose, distilled water, and sterile human plasma. Cement-base samples were immersed in either distilled water or s...

The histological differentiation of neuronal from glial nuclei may be useful in the identification of tumours and in the study of developing nervous tissues. The following method does this by staining the glial nucleus red and the neuronal nucleus green. It also stains other structures in the neural parenchyma. Formol-fixed tissues taken down to water and embedded in paraffin are used. 1 The se...

This study evaluated the effects of fluoride-containing solutions on the surface of commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) obtained by casting. CP Ti specimens were fabricated and randomly assigned to 5 groups (n=10): group 1: stored in distilled water at 37 +/- 1 masculineC; group 2: stored in distilled water at 37 +/- 1 masculineC and daily immersed in 0.05% NaF for 3 min; group 3: stored in dist...
