Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Precipitation Fluctuation on Soil Carbon Storage of a Tropical Peat Swamp ForestAnton Eko Satrio, Seca Gandaseca, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: It is important to compare the effect of extremely different rainfall conditions on soil carbon storage of lowland tropical peat swamp forest. Therefore, under these natural rainfall gradient, the objectives of this study were to determine whether rainfall affects soil carbon storage of a tropical peat swamp forest and to determine what correlations between variables occurs which stimulate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 8,606 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Converting Secondary Forest on Tropical Peat Soil to Oil Palm Plantation on Carbon StorageCh’ng Huck Ywih, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid, Mohamadu Boyie JallohProblem statement: Peat has been identified as one of the major groups of soils found in Malaysia. Sarawak as the largest state in Malaysia has the biggest reserve of peat-land. There are about 1.5 million ha of peat-land in Sarawak, which are relatively under developed. As is the case with any plant, oil palm trees do sequester carbon as they … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 9,048 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUnconventional Approach for Demineralization of Deproteinized Crustacean Shells for Chitin ProductionN.S. Mahmoud, A.E. Ghaly, F. ArabChitin is a versatile environmentally friendly modern material. It has a wide range of applications in areas such as water treatment, pulp and paper, biomedical devices and therapies, cosmetics, membrane technology and biotechnology and food applications. Crustacean waste is the most important chitin source for commercial use. Demineralization is an important step in the chitin purification process from crustacean waste. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 8,806 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Novel Rodent Model of Autism: Intraventricular Infusions of Propionic Acid Increase Locomotor Activity and Induce Neuroinflammation and Oxidative Stress in Discrete Regions of Adult Rat BrainDerrick F. MacFabe, Karina Rodríguez-Capote, Jennifer E. Hoffman et al.Innate neuroinflammatory changes, increased oxidative stress and disorders of glutathione metabolism may be involved in the pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Propionic acid (PPA) is a dietary and gut bacterial short chain fatty acid which can produce brain and behavioral changes reminiscent of ASD following intraventricular infusion in rats. Adult Long-Evans rats were given intraventricular infusions of either PPA … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 12,618 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComparison of Selected Chemical Properties of Peat Swamp Soil Before and After Timber HarvestingMuhamad Ismawi Salimin, Seca Gandaseca, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: Peat swamp is an important component of the world’s wetlands. Once they are disturbed the tendency for the soil degradation is very high. This study compared selected chemical properties of a peat swamp soil before and after timber harvesting. Approach: Peat soil samples were taken at 0-15 cm depth in 6 plots with 0.1 ha each plot at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 8,792 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermodynamic Inference of the Antioxidant Process of Malic Acid and Its Structural AnalogsHan Wu, Wenhao Dong et al.Two structural analogs of Malic Acid (MA), 2-isopropylmalic Acid (2-IPMA), and 3-isopropylmalic Acid (3-IPMA) were recently identified and separated from wine. Although they have been shown to have antioxidant activity, the mechanism of their actions is still unclear. Antioxidant activities of 2-IPMA and MA were tested through DPPH, ABTS, and PTIO methods and the antioxidant-related thermodynamic properties were evaluated using … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 30 Oct 2024 · 4,827 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreparation of Rose Vinegar Rich in Gamma-Linolenic Acid and Analysis of its Nutritional Composition and Antioxidant ActivityYao Zhang, Qing Liu et al.Despite the rapid development of various types of fruit vinegar or nutrient-fortified vinegar, the weakened functions or high cost is still the main limiting factor for healthy vinegar. In the present study, a new type of rose vinegar was obtained from raw grain supplemented with natural extract of roses through the cooperative fermentation of multiple microorganisms by adding Mucor circinelloides … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 8 Aug 2023 · 6,390 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLevels of Metals and Microbial Biomass in Cobalt Coleman Mine Tailings (Canada) Three Decades after Land ReclamationKabwe Nkongolo, Graeme Spiers et al.Investigations of restored metal contaminated tailings in Canada with regard to their long-term ability to sustain plant and associated microbiological populations are limited. The specific objectives of the present study were to assess (1) The current levels of total and bioavailable metals and (2) Microbial biomass in Cobalt Coleman mine tailings reclaimed in 1990. The level of microbial biomass was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 20 Mar 2023 · 6,011 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRation to Produce Milk High in Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) at Smallholder Dairy Farm: An In Vitro ReconstructionDwitami Anzhany, Toto Toharmat, DespalSmallholder dairy farms have shown the best practices for producing milk with high Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA). The rations need to be further investigated to explain the digestion process. This study aimed to reconstruct and evaluate the digestion process of five rations that produced milk with high CLA using in vitro method. The rations were collected from five traditional dairy … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 30 May 2022 · 6,619 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Methyl Jasmonate and Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) on Antioxidant Potential and Metabolomic Profiles of Zingiberaceae RhizomesHenny Lieke Rampe, Hanny Hesky Pontororing, Hanry Jefry Lengkong et al.The rhizomes of Zingiberaceae plants are used as cooking spices, medicines, cosmetics and beverage ingredients. Zingiberaceae rhizomes have the potential to be immunostimulants, antioxidants and immunomodulators.
