Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNon-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs in Food Producing AnimalsDe Vito VirginiaProviding adequate food supply to meet the demands of a growing population is a challenge for this century. The food producing animals bred in optimized conditions supply a large amount of food derivatives. At the same time, society has become progressively more concerned about animal suffering and aware of the need of pain prevention and treatments. One of the measures … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 12 Jun 2015 · 7,715 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of the Maize (Zea mays)-Mucuna (Mucuna deeringianum Bort) AgroecosystemCarlos Ernesto Aguilar-Jimenez, Alfredo Tolon-Becerra, Xavier Lastra-BravoProblem statement: In Selva de Chiapas, Mexico, the traditional farming technique of slash-fell-burn used on hillside fields has caused severe soil deterioration. Consequently, indigenous farmers reacted by developing several agroecological practices that improve the physical, chemical and biological fertility of the soils. Standing out among these techniques is the use of Mucuna (Mucuna deeringianum Bort.) in rotation with maize (Zea … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 30 Mar 2012 · 7,987 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAccumulation of Cholesterol Esters in ex vivo Lymphocytes from Scrapie-susceptible Sheep and in Scrapie-infected Mouse Neuroblastoma Cell LinesAlessandra Pani, Claudia Norfo, Claudia Abete et al.Our studies on the role of cholesterol homeostasis in the pathogenesis of scrapie in sheep, revealed abnormal accumulation of cholesterol esters in brains and in ex vivo skin fibroblasts from genetically scrapie-susceptible, as compared to sheep with resistant genotype. We now report that PBMCs isolated from scrapie-susceptible sheep, as well as mouse neuroblastoma cell lines persistently infected with two different … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,955 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSeed Treatment-Based Biocontrol of Tomato Damping off Using Plant Essential Oil and Green Silver NanoparticlesLaila Reklaoui, Zine El Abidine Bzazou Elouazzani, El Touhami Tayebi Ouazzani et al.The fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani is a major causal agent of damping-off in tomato plants, leading to severe yield losses worldwide. Conventional fungicides, while effective, raise concerns regarding environmental safety and human health, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable alternatives. In this study, we report for the first time the use of Origanum compactum essential oil to biosynthesize silver nanoparticles … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 2 Jun 2026 · 1,298 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTHE EFFECT OF DIABETES MELLITUS ON THE CLINICAL AND MICRO-BIOLOGICAL OUTCOMES IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE PYELONEPHRITISKathleen Lynch, Veena Venugopalan, Levita HidayatThere is some published evidence which suggests that the clinical outcomes and pathogens associated with Acute Pyelonephritis (AP) differ between diabetics and non-diabetics. However, current guidelines do not make treatment distinctions based on Diabetes Mellitus (DM) status. The objectives of this study were to identify the microbiological and clinical characteristics of hospitalized patients with AP and investigate differences between patients … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 6 May 2014 · 7,375 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTermite Damage to Buildings: Nature of Attacks and Preventive Construction MethodsAbdel Ghaly, Skai EdwardsProblem statement: Termites are an essential member of the soil ecosystem and are found throughout the world. In their natural environment, they improve soil pH, organic carbon content, water content and porosity by cycling dead organics. However, they can negatively impact human welfare by causing damage to unprotected timber structures, underground cables, earthen dams, irrigation ditches and farming equipment. Globally, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 12 Jul 2011 · 26,765 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNumerical Treatment of the Mathematical Models for Water PollutionF. B. Agusto, O. M. BamigbolaTo evaluate the environmental impact of pollution, mathematical models play a major role in predicting the pollution level in the regions under consideration. This paper examines the various mathematical models involving water pollutant. We also give the implicit central difference scheme in space, and a forward difference method in time for the evaluation of the generalized transport equation. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,382 accessesView PDF Cite
