Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiocontrol of Damping off Disease in Brinjal (Solanum melongena) and Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) by Arbuscular MycorrhizaMd. Raihan Talukder, Animesh Sarkar, Md. Harun Rashid, Md. Motaher HossainArbuscular Mycorrhiza (AM) fungi are recognized as bioprotectors of plants for their ability to enhance plant health and provide protection against pathogens. This study determines the ability of AM fungi (mixed AM inoculum of Glomus mosseae) to suppress the damping off disease of brinjal and tomato seedlings affected by the pathogenic fungi. This experiment consisted of two factors viz. AM … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 2 Jul 2024 · 5,010 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Seaweed Extracts on Rice Growth and Tolerance to Salinity, Drought and Blast (Magnaporthe oryzae)Mir Sayeada Alam, Jannatun Nayeema, S. M. Rafiquzzaman, Motaher HossainRice, a primary staple, confronts a multitude of biotic and abiotic stresses. Drought and salinity, exacerbated by climate change and blast disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, significantly contribute to yield losses. To tackle the problems, two types of seaweeds-one known as Hypnea musciformis and another unknown-were collected from Saint Martin, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh and then examined for the potential of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 31 May 2024 · 6,506 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Identification of a Bioflocculant-Producing Strain and Application in Rice Vinegar ClarificationWeilian Hu, Dehui DaiA bioflocculant-producing bacterium S-3# was isolated from fresh sand bones 40-50 cm underground in the desert region of China’s Ningxia Province. It was identified as Paenibacillus sp. based on 16S rDNA sequence along with its biochemical and morphological characteristics. Chemical analysis found that the bioflocculant from S-3# is mainly composed of extracellular polysaccharide. Researchers observed no noticeable change (above 91%) … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 30 Dec 2020 · 5,924 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiodegradation of 2, 4 DichlorophenolTaghreed Al-Khalid, Muftah H. El-NaasThe present study focuses on the optimization of process parameters of the aerobic biodegradation of 2, 4 Dichlorophenol (2, 4 DCP) by a commercial strain of P. putida immobilized in PVA gel matrix, using design of experiments by Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The degradation rates obtained from these experiments were used to evaluate the effects of the main factors and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2017 · 7,390 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLiDAR-Based Obstacle Detection and Avoidance for Navigation and Control of an Unmanned Ground Robot Using Model Predictive ControlSai Charan Dekkata, Sun Yi, M. A. Muktadir, Selorm GarfoUnmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) have, as of late, been utilized in a wide assortment of utilizations because of their flexibility, diminished expense, and quick response, among other benefits. Search and Rescue (SAR) is quite possibly the most conspicuous zones for the work of UGVs instead of a monitored mission, mainly due to its impediments on the expenses, human resources, and … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2023 · 8,213 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Fibrous Diets for Finishing Pigs: Digestibility, Performance and Carcass TraitsBernardo Berenchtein, Adibe Luiz Abdalla, Patrícia Pimentel Santos Riguetto et al.Two experiments were conducted to evaluate digestibility, performance and carcass traits of finishing pigs fed fibrous diets, such as, basal diet (Control treatment) and inclusion of Tifton-85 hay, Soybean hulls or Citrus pulp. Twenty crossbred castrated male pigs, with average body weight of 70.00±1.95 kg, distributed in a randomized block design with four treatments and five repetitions (blocks) were used … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2019 · 7,273 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Ceramo-Polymeric Nanocomposite for Biomimetic Scaffolds Design and PreparationRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Roberto Sorrentino et al.Biomimetics, biomechanics and tissue engineering are three multidisciplinary fields that have been contemplated in this research to attain the objective of improving prosthetic implants reliability. Since testing and mathematical methods are closely interlaced, a promising approach seemed to be the combination of in vitro and in vivo experiments with computer simulations (in silico). An innovative biomimetics and biomechanics approach and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2016 · 8,269 accessesView PDF Cite
