Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Cadmium on Worker Ovary Morphology of Bombus morio (Hymenoptera: Bombini)Fábio Camargo Abdalla, Marina Pedrosa, Caio Eduardo da Costa Domingues, Paulo José BalsamoBees are valuable bioindicators, providing information regarding environmental conditions through different kinds of analyses. Therefore, the effect of cadmium on the morphology of ovaries of Bombus morio workers was used to study a concentration considered environmentally safe (1 ppb) in Brazil. Workers of the same estimated age exposed for 48 h to 1 ppb cadmium showed extensive morphological changes in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 10 Apr 2018 · 9,140 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEquilibrium Studies and Optimization of Phosphate Adsorption from Synthetic Effluent Using Acid Modified Bio-SorbentBabayemi Akinpelu Kamoru, Onukwuli Okechukwu DominicAdsorption potential of periwinkle shell (PRW), an agricultural waste, for the removal of phosphate from aqueous solution was investigated through equilibrium studies at various experimental conditions. PRW was carbonized and chemically activated with 1MH2SO4 before it was subjected to characterization using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Adsorption data were analyzed using various … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 15 Dec 2017 · 7,666 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPassage Effect on Aging of Human Umbilical Cord Derived Mesenchymal Stem CellDian Mediana, Isabella Kurnia Liem, Jeanne Adiwinata Pawitan, Noviyanti GoeiTo be used in regenerative medicine, cells should be checked for various conditions, including cell aging. This study aimed to learn senescent profile and its relation to cell viability, proliferation and cell size in various passages, which were done in α-MEM-10% PRP medium, until senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) positive cells were found. Stem cells were isolated from umbilical cord tissue by … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 31 Jul 2015 · 8,039 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Pseudozyma hubeiensis Y10BS025 as a Potent Producer of Glycolipid Biosurfactant Mannosylerythritol lipidsMartha Sari, Atit Kanti, I. Made Artika, Wien KusharyotoMannosylerythritol Lipids (MEL’s) are glycolipid biosurfactants that contain 4-O-β-D-mannopyranosyl-meso-erythritol as a hydrophilic moiety and fatty acids as a hydrophobic moiety. MEL’s are abundantly produced by several kinds of microorganism and are one of the most promising biosurfactants currently known. The search for a novel endogenous producer of MEL’s was undertaken based on the available collection of the yeast strains from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2013 · 8,095 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Improved Approach for Detecting Car in Video using Neural Network ModelS. N. Sivanandam, T. Senthil KumarThe study represents a novel approach taken towards car detection, feature extraction and classification in a video. Though many methods have been proposed to deal with individual features of a vehicle, like edge, license plate, corners, no system has been implemented to combine features. Combination of four unique features, namely, color, shape, number plate and logo gives the application a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 1 Sep 2012 · 7,151 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvidences of Apoptosis in Hepatitis C Virus-Infected Hepatocytes and Peripheral Blood Monocuclear Cells in the Absence of Liver InjuryViviana Falcón, Nelson Acosta-Rivero, Mineko Shibayama et al.Understanding the mechanism of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) pathogenesis is an important part of HCV research. In this study, the presence of apoptosis in HCV-infected liver and Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) from patients positive for anti-HCV antibodies and negative for serum HCV-RNA was investigated. The samples obtained from 21 patients were studied by in situ Hybridization (ISH), Immunofluorescence, TUNEL … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,975 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTesticular Development in Holstein, F1 Crossbred Holstein-Gyr, Gyr, and Nellore Bulls During Puberty and Sexual Maturity in Tropical ConditionsGustavo Eduardo Freneau, Jose Domingos Guimaraes, Vicente Ribeiro Vale Filho, Arnhold EmmanuelContext: Puberty and sexual maturity are very important economic aspects in the beef industry and bull production. The aim of this study was to characterize and determine the sexual development of Bos taurus, Bos indicus, and F1 crossbreeds of these two subspecies of bulls and their testicular growth and shape. We observed the evolution of testicular development characteristics and seminal … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 9 Jul 2026 · 1,197 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCHARACTERIZATION OF OIL PALM EMPTY FRUIT BUNCH AND RICE HUSK BIOCHARS AND THEIR POTENTIAL TO ADSORB ARSENIC AND CADMIUMNorazlina Abu Sari, Che Fauziah Ishak, Rosenani Abu BakarBiochar as a new soil amendment has a potential in controlling the fate of trace elements in the soil system. However, the production of biochar from different feedstocks and pyrolysis conditions resulted in variable biochar properties which have an influence on trace elements availability. The experimental works are focused on physical and chemical properties of biochars produced from Empty Fruit … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 13 Aug 2014 · 10,585 accessesView PDF Cite
