Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhenanthrene Contaminated Soil Biotreatment Using Slurry Phase BioreactorM. Arbabi, M. Sadeghi, Ch. AnyakoraProblem Statement: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are suspected toxins that accumulate in soils and sediments due to their insolubility in water and lack of volatility. Slurry-phase biological treatment is one of the innovative technologies that involve the controlled treatment of excavated soil in a bioreactor. Due to highly soil contamination from petroleum compounds in crude oil extraction and also oil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,758 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBeta-2-Microglobulin in Autism Spectrum DisordersPaula Goines, Joseph Schauer, Luke Heuer et al.Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are heterogeneous neurodevelopmental diseases of unknown etiology. There are no biological markers for ASD and current diagnosis is based on behavioral criteria. Recent data has shown that MHC I, a compound involved in adaptive immune function, is also involved in neurodevelopment, synaptic plasticity and behavior. It has been suggested that altered MHC I expression could play … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,560 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiochemical Effects of Recombinant Porcine Somatotropin on Pig Fetal Growth and Metabolism: A ReviewD. Villanueva-García, S. A. Olmos-Hernández, D. Mota-Rojas et al.Prenatal development is mainly dependent on a close interrelation between nutritional supply use and regulation by hormones and growth factors. Mechanisms during early embryonic development are sensitive to manipulation through selected management strategies of the sow and modifications of this strategy may serve as a model for the examination of molecular and cellular events controlling early embryonic growth. The administration … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,620 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEfficiency of Nitrogen Fixation by Rhizobium Strains Associated With White Clover in the Ecuadorian Highlands Biological Nitrogen Fixation by White Clover in EcuadorDaniela Michell Chuquimarca Mamarandi, Venancio Saúl Arahana Bonilla, Paulina Andrea Cevallos Hidalgo et al.The objective of this research was to evaluate the nitrogen-fixing capacity of 30 strains of Rhizobium isolated from white clover nodules, collected in the provinces of Pichincha and Cotopaxi under greenhouse conditions. After isolation of the bacteria and authentication of the isolates, a greenhouse experiment was conducted, in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), with three replications and two controls: with … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 4 Oct 2026 · 835 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAnaerobic Transformation of Biodegradable Waste; Simultaneous Production of Energy and FertilizerAmirhossein Malakahmad, Syazana Nasrudin, Noor Ezlin Ahmad Basri, Shahrom Md ZainAlmost 40% of the total waste produced in developing countries is made of biodegradable waste. Typically the waste including the biodegradable portion is transported to the so-called landfills without any segregation process, treatment and utilization in advance. Although mitigation practices such as source reduction, reuse and recycle are essential and required to be practiced in any integrated waste management plan, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 10 Mar 2013 · 7,376 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSynthesis and Biological Evaluation of 6-Hydroxy-4-Methyl-5,7-(Bis-p-ChlorophenylAzo) CoumarinDalal M. Ibrahim, Juliana Jumal, Farah Wahida Harun6-hydroxy-4-methyl-5,7-(bis-p-chlorophenylazo)coumarinhas been synthesized and characterizedby CHN elemental analysis, FTIR, 1H-NMR-spectroscopy andmass-spectral data. Cytotoxic screening by MTT assay was carried out on the compoundagainst breast cancer cells. The overall results from preliminary screeningprogram revealed that the cell proliferation was highly inhibited by 6-hydroxy-4-methyl-5,7-(bis-p-chlorophenylazo)coumarin with the value of 2.81%, at concentration of 30 µg mL-1 comparedwith the untreated control cells and also … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 21 Dec 2015 · 7,670 accessesView PDFCite
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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordInfluence of Supplementary Bioavailable Carbon on the Thermal and Biological Kinetic Parameters of the Composting Process of Tomato Plant TrimmingsA.E. Ghaly, F. AlkoaikThree laboratory-scale bioreactors were used to investigate the influence of bioavailable carbon addition on the composting process of tomato remains. Sugar, cheese whey and used cooking oil were used as bioavailable carbon sources. The amounts of materials added to the compost mixture had equal energy contents. The initial moisture contents and C: N ratios of the compost mixtures were maintained … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,563 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDesign, Synthesis, Biological Screening and Structure Activity Relationship Study of 4, 6-Dimethyl-2-(Substituted) Mercapto-3-(Substituted) Pyridines as Anti Tubercular AgentsMehul M. Patel, Mahesh T. ChhabriyaProblem statement: Tuberculosis is a leading global mortality factor which has not been effectively controlled, with 1.7 million deaths per year and 8.9 million new cases. Aerobic microbe Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (MTB) is the causative agent of tuberculosis. Although many active antitubercular agents have since been developed, drug resistance will continue to be a problem. Therefore, there is a clear … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 3 Nov 2011 · 7,430 accessesView PDFCite
