Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDETECTION OF PROSAPOSIN AND MATURE SAPOSINS IN GOAT MILKAndrea Robertson Byers, Salam Ibrahim, Mulumebet WorkuIncreased scientific knowledge related to the nutritional, functional and biological activities and health benefits of goat milk is needed to further promote goat farming, goat milk and traditional or innovative neutraceuticals as a basis for socio-economic benefit. Identification and characterization of milk derived Prosaposin is essential to development of neutraceuticals from goat milk that maybe beneficial to human health. The … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 11 Nov 2014 · 6,997 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCoupled Hydrodynamic-Water Quality Model for Pollution Control Scenarios in El-Burullus Lake (Nile Delta, Egypt)A. El-Adawy, A. M. Negm, O. C. Saavedra V et al.El-Burullus Lake is affected by increasing and extensive human activities, rapid social-economic development and the construction of fish ponds nearby. This has significantly impacted the health of the lake eco-system. On the foundation of the two-dimensional depth averaged hydrodynamic model, distributions of the salinity, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Ammonium (NH4) were modeled. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 10 Nov 2014 · 7,212 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractβ1,3-GLUCAN ANTICANCER EFFICACIES AND SYNERGIES: A REVIEWStory Jenny, Vetvicka Vaclav, Angove Michaelβ1,3-glucans from fungi, cereals, seaweeds and bacteria have been shown to possess favourable biological and anti-carcinogenic activities including upregulation of phagocytosis, cytokine production enhancement, superoxide and nitrite production; antibody secretion and stimulation of signalling pathways associated with proto-oncogene expression. However, human dietary supplements containing β1,3-glucans vary in efficacy due to glucan source, the lifecycle stage of the source at extraction, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 3 Sep 2014 · 8,765 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPREPARATION OF ACTIVATED CARBON FROM PALM OIL SHELL BY CHEMICAL ACTIVATION WITH Na2CO3 AND ZnCl2 AS IMPRENATED AGENTS FOR H2S ADSORPTIONKanokorn HussaroHydrogen Sulfide (H2S, rotten-egg) is one of the major environmental pollutants having its sources in natural and anthropogenic activities. It’s had smell gas produced by anaerobic digestion in acid condition from organic and inorganic compounds containing sulphur, presents dual problems of its toxicity and foul ordour.
