Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Analysis on the Physiological Effects of the Physical and Chemical Properties of the Trihalomethanes on Nutrient Levels, Oxidative Stress and Sterol Compositions of Leaf Oils in Solanum Lycopersicum CultivarsBabatunde C. Akande, Olalekan S. Fatoki, James P. Odendaal et al.Trihalomethane group of disinfection by-products was used to evaluate the magnitude of physiological changes induced on nutrient levels, oxidative stress and phytosterol content in two tomato cultivars. The tomato cultivars were grown as potted plants in a greenhouse and exposed to the varying concentrations of trihalomethanes and organochlorines via irrigation water for a period of 30 days. The concentration levels … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 11 May 2018 · 8,415 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysicochemical and Microbial Caracteristics Performency in Wastewater Treated Under Aerobic ReactorAsma Ben Rajeb, Hamadi Kallali, Neila Saidi et al.Problem statement: The current work study the efficiency of biological wastewater treatment by an aerobic reactor which could be used in small agglomerations. RBC reduced physicochemical and microbiological load of wastewater but values remain above Tunisian standard. Approach: Experiments were conducted on a sand filled PVC column fed with wastewater treated by Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) at a pulsed rhythm … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 6,681 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhotocatalytic Activity and Antibacterial Behavior of Fe3+-Doped TiO2/SnO2 NanoparticlesLek Sikong, Budsabakorn Kongreong, Duangporn Kantachote, Weerawan SutthisripokProblem statement: Since bacteria mainly causes damage on fresh vegetables and fruits during transportation to market, anti-bacterial TiO2 photocatalyst was applied for their packaging films. However, it has been known that pure TiO2 exhibits low photocatalytic property due to rapid recombination of photo-activated electrons and holes. Doping with metal or metal oxide shows the improvement of photocatalytic activity and disinfection … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 15,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrug Susceptibility and Molecular Epidemiology of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated in a Burn UnitHassan Salimi, Parviz Owlia, Bagher Yakhchali, Abdolaziz Rastegar LariProblem statement: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that still develops life-threatening infections in patients with immunological system defects, like burn patients, especially in developing countries. Since this bacterium is naturally resistant to many drugs and is able to get resistance to all effective antibiotics, the infection with this organism is particularly problematic condition for patients. This study was design … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,993 accessesView PDFCite
