Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Assessment of Hydroponically Grown Cereal Crops for the Purification of Aquaculture Wastewater and the Production of Fish FeedA. M. Snow, A. E. Ghaly, A. SnowHydroponically grown wheat, barley and oats were examined for their ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater. Wheat, barley and oats seeds were germinated in water in a hydroponics system. The seedlings then received wastewater from an aquaculture system stocked with Arctic charr. During the experiment, the crops grew rapidly and fairly uniformly and showed no signs of mineral deficiency … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 9,174 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Assessment of Ambient Air Quality in Rabia Area for Years 2001 and 2004 in the State of KuwaitBader N. Al-Azmi, V. Nassehi, A. R. KhanThe hourly air pollutants concentrations were measured continuously by fixed ambient air stations located over the polyclinics in Rabia area in Capital Governorate in the State of Kuwait. The focus of this investigation is to determine the pollution levels of SO2, NO2 and O3 in year 2001 and 2004 to assess the pollution trends. The recorded data are used in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 7,107 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Constructed Wetland Biological Integrity Using Aquatic MacroinvertebratesC. Galbrand, I. G. Lemieux, Abdel E. Ghaly et al.A surface flow constructed wetland consisting of seven cells was used to treat the leachates from a decommissioned landfill. Wetland monitoring was performed by evaluating the treatment efficiency of the landfill leachate and the wetland biological integrity of the wetland. The water quality samples were analyzed for iron, manganese, phosphorus (orthophosphate), pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), nitrogen (ammonia, nitrate, nitrite and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,417 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Spatial-Temporal Variability of Nitrates in a Section of the Cuneo Plain (North West Italy)Massimo Vincenzo Civita, Adriano Fiorucci, Bartolomeo VignaThe study of an aquifer system is very important, but also very complicated because of the high temporal and spatial variabilities of a system and because of the phenomena that are at play within the system. It is from these problems that the necessity arises of finding methods that are able to extend point knowledge to an entire area, while … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,733 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy on Mechanism of Ascites Syndrome of BroilersJ.L. Guo, Q.H. Zheng, Q.Q. YIN et al.Two hundred and forty male Cobb broilers were used to study the reasons of causing ascites. The results showed that cold ambient temperature could induce ascites (33.89% vs. 2.50%) and significantly increase triiodothyronine (T3), but reduce thyroxine (T4) concentrations in plasma (p<0.05). The ascitic broilers had high concentrations of aldosterone and K+, but low concentrations of T3 and T4 in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,850 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Nutritive Value of Wastewater Grown Barley and its Utilization in Fish FeedA.M. Snow, A. E. GhalyThe feasibility of using wastewater grown barley plants as a component of fish feed was evaluated. The barley plants were grown in a hydroponics system on wastewater from a recirculating aquaculture facility. The effects of wastewater application rate on plant growth and pollution potential reduction were investigated. At the end of the experiment, the average crop heights and yields were … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,880 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPharmacological Screening of Arceuthobium oxycedri (Dwarf Mistletoe) of Juniper Forest of PakistanMudassir Asrar Zaidi, Ahsan Huda, Sidney A. CrowThe local population of Balochistan, Pakistan considers the Juniperus excelsa an important medicinal plant. The species is facing a grave threat by a parasitic and epiphytic angiosperm, dwarf mistletoe, Arceuthobium oxycedri (DC) M. Bieb (Viscaceae). The methanolic extract of A. oxycedri was studied for its chemical composition and biologically active compounds for the first time. The extract was assayed for … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeparation of Guanine and Hypoxanthine with Some Ionic Liquids in RP-HPLCJ. Zheng, K. H. RowIn this paper, guanine and hypoxanthine were separated with four different ionic liquids as additives for the mobile phase using reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The ionic liquids, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIm][BF4]), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([EMIm][BF4]), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate ([EMIm][MS]) and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate ([OMIm][MS]) were used. Guanine and hypoxanthine couldn’t be separated with many different kinds of unadjusted mobile phase, such … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,896 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControl of Phenolic Compound Secretion and Effect of Growth Regulators for Organ Formation from Musa spp. cv. Kanthali Floral Bud ExplantsSoubir Titov, Salil Kumar Bhowmik, Ajoy Mandal et al.The study was undertaken to examine banana cv. Kanthali floral bud apex as an alternative source material for in vitro propagation because huge number of explants die due to microbial contamination in case of shoot tip explants. Contamination free cultures were established by treating the floral bud explants with 0.1% HgCl2 for 6 min. This study found that inflorescence tissues … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,748 accessesView PDFCite
