A novel high-frequency, high-power, pilot-plant scale sonochemical reactor was developed and used to study the degradation of dichloromethane, trichloroethylene, phenol, and methyl orange in aqueous solutions. The degradation rates of trichloroethylene, dichloromethane, and phenol were found to exceed those of similar frequency, small-scale bench reactors by factors ranging from 2.5 to 7. The d...

development of effective strategies for management of brown rot disease to obtain an accurate knowledge of the response of different cultivars to the pathogense takes. for study the percentage of the natural blooming in the garden and the change of total phenol amount in laboratories in different cultivars of stone fruit in response to the monilia laxa (honey) fungal pathogen, study was carried...

BACKGROUND Phenol is one of the most versatile and important organic compound. It is also a growing concern as water pollutants due to its high persistence and toxicity. Removal of Phenol from wastewaters was investigated using a novel nanoparticle adsorption and nanofiltration technique named as Nanoparticle Assisted Nano Filtration (NANF). METHODS The nanoparticle used for NANF study were s...

Thirty eight bottles of red wine (Carbanet Sauvignon) were randomly selected based on vintage, region, price, and age (number of months in a barrel). The total phenolic content of each wine was determined using Folin-Ciocalteau assay. The radical scavenging activity was evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. Apart from a few bottles that exhibited above average radical scave...

On an anatomical basis, cornea may be divided into three major parts: the fibrous stroma, the overlying epithelium, and endothelium. Epithelial and endothelial cells contribute approximately 20% of the total wet weight of beef cornea, and their integrity is essential for stromal maintenance (1). Of the three major parts of cornea, epithelial cells have the highest oxygen consumption that can be...

The objectives of this study were to examine and model the probability of growth of Listeria monocytogenes in cooked salmon containing salt and smoke (phenol) compound and stored at various temperatures. A growth probability model was developed, and the model was compared to a model developed from tryptic soy broth (TSB) to assess the possibility of using TSB as a substitute for salmon. A 6-str...

Increasing nitrogen absorption efficiency reduces use of excessive application of N. The effect of rootzone temperature on nitrogen absorption needs clarification. The experiment was conducted to investigate low (15°C, RTZ1), high (35°C, RTZ2) and optimum (25°C, RTZ3) root zone temperatures and nitrogen 52.5 (ND1), 78.75 (ND2) and 105 (ND0) mg∙L-1 levels on cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), cv. Su...

Five ileal-cannulated adult dogs were utilized in a 5 x 5 Latin square design to determine the effects of fructan type and concentration on nutrient digestibility, stool metabolite concentrations, and fecal microbiota. Five diets were evaluated that contained cellulose alone or with inulin or short-chain fructooligosaccharides (scFOS) each at 0.2 or 0.4% of the diet. Dogs were fed 175 g of thei...

The combination of ultrasound (US) and photochemistry has been used to degrade an aqueous solution of phenol. It was considerably more effective than ultrasound or ultraviolet (UV) light alone. Based on the results of total organic carbon (TOC) removal, it was shown that the synergistic action of ultrasound and ultraviolet light existed. Identification of the first intermediates of the reaction...
