Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Abscisic Acid and its Relationship to Drought Stress Based on Cowpea Varieties with Different Capability of Drought ResistanceWei Lei, Shian Huang, Shaohu Tang et al.Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) is one of the most important grain legume supplying necessarily dietary proteins. Although its can tolerate drought environment, still the severe condition can limit the growth and development of this plant. Abscisic acid (ABA) has a crucial function in stress physiology, but little information is available for methods describing ABA determination in cowpea and its relationship … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2016 · 8,464 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfiltration of Nanoparticles into Porous Binder Jet Printed PartsAmelia Elliott, Sarah AlSalihi, Abbey L. Merriman, Mufeed M. BastiThe densification of parts that are produced by binder jetting Additive Manufacturing (AM; a.k.a. “3D Printing”) is an essential step in making them mechanically useful. Increasing the packing factor of the powder bed by incorporating nanoparticles into the binder has potential to alleviate the amount of shrinkage needed for full densification of binder jet parts. In this study we present … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 11 Mar 2016 · 13,401 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGender Differences in the Prevalence of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in an Iranian Urban PopulationMohammad Shojaei, Abdolreza Sotoodeh Jahromi, Karamatollah Rahmanian, Abdolhossein MadaniIn Iran, more than 40% of mortality is a result of cardiovascular disorders. The aim of this study was compare of cardiovascular risk factors in urban men and women. This cross-sectional analytic study was performed in urban population of Jahrom in 2008-2009. Subjects aged 30 years or older were selected by multi stage random sampling. Serum lipids including total cholesterol, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 4 Aug 2015 · 6,865 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Food Additives Nitrite and Nitrate and Microbiological Safety of Food ProductsStefanie Müller-Herbst, Anna Mühlig, Jan Kabisch et al.In Germany, raw sausages are typically produced according to a technology referred to as hurdle technology (Leistner, 2000). The combination of several stressful conditions should successfully inhibit growth and survival of pathogenic bacteria, which can be regularly found in raw pork or beef material (Mataragas et al., 2008; Rhoades et al., 2009). Hurdles applied during raw sausage fermentation are the … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 29 Jun 2015 · 10,382 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStandardized Ileal Digestible Lysine Requirement of 6- to 10-kg Weanling PigsChan Sol Park, Beob Gyun KimThe objective of the experiment was to determine the Standardized Ileal Digestible (SID) lysine requirement for weanling pigs from 6 to 10 kg of Body Weight (BW). A total of 216 weanling pigs with an initial BW of 6.23±0.93 kg were assigned to six diets in a randomized complete block design with five blocks based on BW. Six corn-dried whey-soybean … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 10 Jun 2015 · 7,548 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTRANSPIRATION INFLUENCES CADMIUM UPTAKE BY BABY LEAF SPINACH (SPINACIA OLERACEA L.)Carlo Chehine, Paul Holford, Oula Ghannoum et al.Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal whose concentration in soils is rising. This study investigated the effect of transpiration on Cd uptake by plants using soil conditions akin to those experienced by field crops. Two experiments were performed using baby leaf spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) grown in soil containing Chloride (Cl) at a typical concentration of 70 mg kg-1. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 23 Dec 2014 · 8,066 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractβ1,3-GLUCAN ANTICANCER EFFICACIES AND SYNERGIES: A REVIEWStory Jenny, Vetvicka Vaclav, Angove Michaelβ1,3-glucans from fungi, cereals, seaweeds and bacteria have been shown to possess favourable biological and anti-carcinogenic activities including upregulation of phagocytosis, cytokine production enhancement, superoxide and nitrite production; antibody secretion and stimulation of signalling pathways associated with proto-oncogene expression. However, human dietary supplements containing β1,3-glucans vary in efficacy due to glucan source, the lifecycle stage of the source at extraction, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 3 Sep 2014 · 8,765 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLIPASE-CATALYZED TRANSESTERIFICATION OF PALM KERNEL OIL WITH DIALKYLCARBONATESTjahjono Herawan, M. Rüsch Gen. KlaasLipase-catalyzed transesterifications-especially in a solvent-free medium-are important for industrial applications because such systems would have an enormous advantage by avoiding the problem of separation, toxicity and flammability of organic solvents. However, the organic solvent-free alcoholysis, especially methanolysis, does not give high conversions. The same problem also occurs when ethyl or methyl acetate are used as acyl acceptors. The main problems … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 6 May 2014 · 6,798 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECTS STUDY OF NIGELLA SATIVA, ITS OIL AND THEIR COMBINATION WITH VITAMIN E ON OXIDATIVE STRESS IN RATSAmr A. RezqAntioxidants or free radical scavengers are very important in protecting the living cells against any damage induced by free radicals. The effects of Nigella Sativa Extract (NSE), Nigella Sativa Oil (NSO) and Vitamin E (Vit. E) and the combination of NSE or NSO with Vit. E on potassium bromate (KBrO3)-induced oxidative stress in male rats were investigated. Forty nine Sprague … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 7 · 23 Apr 2014 · 7,010 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRETRACTED: Analysis of Interfering Substances in the Measurement of Malondialdehyde Content in Plant LeavesYunSheng Wang, MaoDi Ding, XunGang Gu et al.The Thiobarbituric Acid (TBA) reactive substances assay is an easy and quick assay for the assessment in plants of lipid peroxidation, in which Malondialdehyde (MDA) is derivatized. To analyze the applicability of this method, the MDA concentrations in the leaves of different plants were measured by the TBA method.
