Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Delaying Sporulation by Addition of Ammonium Sulphate on the Fermentation of Palm Kernal Cake Based Substrate by Aspergillus nigerK. H. Swe, A. R. Alimon, M. RaminProblem statement: Asexual sporulation is a common reproductive mode for a diverse group of fungi and the ultimate limiting factor in fungal biomass production. Approach: Delaying sporulation may increase the biomass in terms of mycelial production and the same time increase production of enzymes. Results: In order to delay the sporulation different levels of ammonium sulphate (10, 12 and 14%) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,402 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Vitro Metabolism Studies of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers Using Rat and Human Liver MicrosomesShun Wen Cheng, Kathleen Randall, Anne T. KotchevarA number of studies have recently reported the bioaccumulation of the commonly used fire retardants, Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs), in humans and wildlife. Exposure of animals to PBDEs has been shown to result in developmental neurological, reproductive abnormalities and the disruption of endocrine function. Thyroid hormone equilibria was also shown to be altered by PBDE exposure. There is evidence that … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,999 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPattern of Survival and Mortality of Mangrove Populations Grown at Al-Jubail Area (Saudi Arabia) of the Arabian GulfAkram Ali, Ahmed Alfarhan, Ernest Robinson, Ibrahim AldjainThe life table and fecundity schedule were produced for [Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh] populations of four habitat types at Al-Jubail area, KSA. These types are sand mounds, salt flats, shoreline and intertidal sites. Survivorship (lx) was least in sand mounds and similar in all other sites. Age-specific-mortality rates (qx) where parallel in the flower bud, flower, fruiting and seedling stages … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,868 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNoninvasive Measurement of Fecal Progesterone Concentration in Toy Poodles by Time Resolved Fluoroimmunoassay (TR-FIA)Satoshi Sugimura, Kaori Narita, Hideaki Yamashiro et al.Progesterone is an important reproductive hormone and measurement of its level by repeated blood samplings is beneficial to monitoring of estrus cycle. However, since toy poodles have a small body size and thin-walled blood vessels, repeated blood samplings cause stress and affect their preparation for mating or artificial insemination (AI). Therefore, a noninvasive method for monitoring progesterone concentration should be … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,569 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnomalies in a Fetus Exposed to Methotrexate in the First TrimesterLandon B. Lorenz, Eric J. KnudtsonThe increasing use of methotrexate for multiple indications in reproductive age women will likely lead to more frequent incidence of fetal exposure. Methotrexate is sometimes used for medical termination of first trimester pregnancy in combination with misoprostol. Teratogenesis in women exposed to low-dose methotrexate used for treatment of rheumatic conditions has been reported, but it has also been suggested that … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,656 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Dietary Humic Preparations on the Content of Trace Elements in Hens' EggsZbigniew Dobrzanski, Henryk Gorecki, Katarzyna Chojnacka et al.Mineral-humic preparations Humokarbowit (HKW) and Humobentofet (HBF) were used in feeding of reproductive laying hens Lohmann Brown. The effect of these preparations on microelement composition of eggs was investigated. The content of microelements in hens diet, egg albumen and eggshell was determined by ICP-MS technique and relative bioaccumulation coefficient (RBC) was evaluated. The humic preparations significantly increased selenium and decreased … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStomatal Resistance to Low Leaf Water Potential at Different Growth Stages Affects Plant Biomass in Glycine max L.F.B. Adejare, C.E. UmebeseTwo cultivars of Glycine max (L) Merril. (TGX536-02D and TGX 923-2E designated cv.A and cv.B respectively), were subjected to water stress for a period of 7 days at the vegetative (T2), flowering/fruiting (T3) and seed development (T4) stages of growth, with a control (T1). Stress was considered moderate at T2 stage (ψw : -1.53 to -1.57 MPa) and severe at … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 8,353 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Canadian Regulations and Remediation Methods for Diesel Oil Contaminated SoilsD. G. Rushton, A E. Ghaly, K.
