Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBIODEGRADABILITY AND MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF SUGAR PALM STARCH BASED BIOPOLYMERJ. Sahari, S. M. Sapuan, E. S. Zainudin, M. A. MalequeA new Sugar Palm Starch (SPS) based biopolymer was successfully developed using glycerol as plasticizer. The effect of glycerol concentration (viz., 15, 20, 30 and 40 by weight percent) to the mechanical properties of plasticized SPS biopolymer was investigated. From this investigation, it was found that the 30% glycerol concentrated biopolymer showed the highest flexural strength and impact with the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 10 · 10 Nov 2014 · 7,710 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Therapeutic and Double Therapeutic Doses of Ivermectin on Oxidative Status and Reproductive Hormones in Male RabbitsAli Hafez El-FarTo investigate the biochemical alterations of oxidative status and male sexual hormones, thyroid hormones, cortisol, liver function and kidney function; sixty male New Zealand White rabbits were equally allotted according to their body weight into two groups. Control samples were collected before subcutaneous injection of rabbits by ivermectinin Therapeutic (TD) and Double Therapeutic Doses (DTD). After injection blood samples were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 30 Aug 2013 · 8,979 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Occluded Face Image using Mean Based Weight Matrix and Support Vector MachineG. Nirmala Priya, R. S.D. Wahida BanuProblem statement: Face occlusion is a very challenging problem in face recognition. The performance of face recognition system decreases drastically due to the presence of partial occlusion on the face. Extracting discriminative features to achieve accurate detection versus computational overhead in extracting the features, which affects the classification speed, would be a sustained problem. The objective of this study is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 5 Jul 2012 · 7,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphological Characterization and Variation in the Total Content of Reducing Sugars in Wild Populations of Agave angustifolia HawMartin Esqueda, Aldo Gutierrez, Guadalupe Palomino et al.Problem statement: Bacanora, a spirit, is distilled from wild populations of Agave angustifolia Haw. Loss of biodiversity must be taken into account when proposing sustainable management actions for this resource. In this study we identified the morphological variants of this species, as well as the weight and Total Content of Reducing Sugars (TRS) in the stem of the agave. Approach: … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 21 Oct 2011 · 8,555 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Edible Coatings, Storage Time and Maturity Stage on Overall Quality of Tomato FruitsJorge Esteban de Jesús Dávila-Aviña, José Villa-Rodríguez, Reynaldo Cruz-Valenzuela et al.Problem statement: Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is one of the most widely consumed fresh vegetables in the world; however, its highly perishable nature limits its postharvest life. Major losses in tomato quality and quantity occur between harvest and consumption. Therefore, the application of new technologies to extend the postharvest life of this commodity is needed. The use of edible coatings … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2011 · 11,290 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysiological Response and Postmolt Performance of Laying Hens Molted by Non-Feed Removal MethodsFariborz Khajali, Saied Karimi, M.R. AkhariOne experiment was conducted to evaluate the physiological response and postmolt performance of laying hens subjected to non-feed removal molting programs. One hundred and eighty 78-week-old Hy-line W36 laying hens were distributed among 45 groups of four birds and located in cages so that mean body weight of each cage was very similar. Three adjacent cages were considered as a … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,850 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelenium Enriched Peanut Protein Alleviates Alcohol-Induced Liver Damage in Mice by Modulating the Composition of the Gut MicrobiotaLin Gao, Jiawei Yuan, Yuhuan Cheng et al.Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is one of leading external causes of mortality. Selenium-enriched Peanut Protein (SePP) is a type of Se compound present in Se-enriched plants. Our previous studies showed that SePP possesses potential therapeutic properties and could alleviate alcohol-induced AML-12 cytotoxicity. It spurred us to determine the underlying mechanisms and roles of SePP on gut microbiota. Here, ICR mice … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 23 Dec 2021 · 6,234 accessesView PDFCite

Current study aimed to study the impact of vitamin B17 against growth of colitis bearing mice induced variations in colon structure, AFP, CEA and PCNA immune reactivity. Forty female Swiss albino mice separated into 4 groups (Control, vitamin B17, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 23 Aug 2021 · 6,401 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization, Antioxidant Activities and Optimization of Preparation Process of a Auricularia Polytricha Polysaccharide-Zinc (II) ComplexXinyi Wu, Xiao Ding, Ze Zhang et al.In our previous work, a novel polysaccharide APP3a from Auricularia polytricha was successfully isolated and purified. Response surface methodology was used to optimize the preparation process of APP3a-Zn on the basis of the single factor experiments. Characterization of APP3a-Zn was carried out and its antioxidant activity was also investigated. The result showed that the best preparation process of APP3a-Zn was … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2021 · 6,638 accessesView PDFCite
