Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrichoderma sp Native from Chili Region of Poanas, Durango, Mexico Antagonist against Phytopathogen FungiGabriela Barragan Valencia, Vicente Hernandez Vargas, Jose Natividad Uribe Soto et al.Problem Statement: Presence of Trichoderma spp. in agricultural soils decrease incidence of diseases by phytopathogen fungi. Sanity diagnostic require to know if exist beneficial microorganism and what agricultural practices help to their propagation. Approach: Samples (30) were taken from soils and sick plants of ten sites in four localities of Valley of Poanas. Phytophthora capsici Leo, Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2011 · 8,542 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication of Composite Material from Sea Mussel Shells and White Clay as a Versatile SorbentSingto Sakulkhaemaruethai, Churairat Duangduen, Weraporn Pivsa-Art, Sommai Pivsa-ArtProblem statement: The removal of heavy metals contaminated in aqueous solution/wastewater has been causing worldwide concern. However, the adsorbent materials are usually limited due to their high cost and environmentally benign. To overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages, low-cost and effective adsorbents are in demand. Approach: In this study, the sea mussel shells/natural clay beads were prepared for using as low-cost sorbent … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,801 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRal-Binding Protein is Required for the Maturation and Function of Dendritic CellsJozef Borvak, Mukesh Sahu, Varun Joy et al.Problem statement: Dendritic Cells (DCs) integrate responses of innate and adaptive immune system via transmitting pro-inflammatory and regulatory signals to naïve cells within draining lymph nodes. DCs have high capacity for endocytosis, both Clathrin-Dependent (CDE) and Caveolin-Dependent (CvDE). Approach: We have recently shown that ATP-hydrolysis by the multifunctional transporter protein RLIP76 is the primary determinant of the rate of CDE. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 13 Sep 2010 · 8,095 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Affecting the Synthesis and Formation of Single-Phase Barium Hexaferrite by a Technique of Oxalate PrecursorQ. MohsenProblem statement: Barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19), is of great importance as permanent magnets, particularly for magnetic recording as well as in microwave devices. Approach: The aim of this study was to synthesize Stoichiometric and single-phase barium hexaferrite through a technique of oxalate precursor. Effects of different Fe3+/Ba2+ mole ratio and annealing temperature on the particle size, microstructure and magnetic properties of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,922 accessesView PDFCite
