InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobiocenosis of the Intestinal Tract of Honey Bees and its CorrectionIrina Vladimirovna Serdyuchenko, Andrey Georgievich Koshchaev, Nino Nodarievna Guguchvili et al.We have studied microbiota of the intestinal tract of honey bees and the effect of various preparations and feed additives, in particular hydrohemol. It was established that feeding of hydrohemol in a mixture with candy caused a decrease in the pathogenic microbiota of the digestive tract of bees. This creates the most favorable conditions for the further development of the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 27 Feb 2018 · 7,786 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Mannan-Oligosaccharides on Daily Weight Gain and Health of Pre-Weaned Holstein Calves in ChilePedro Melendez, Pablo Pinedo, Maria Paz Marin, Angelica AriasThe objective was to compare the effect of S. cerevisiae and mannan-oligosaccharides on Average Daily Gain (ADG), live weight and health of dairy calves in Chile. Calves were weighed at birth and randomly assigned to 3 groups: (i) Yeast (YS): 5 g/calf/day of a live yeast (n = 25); (ii) Mannan (MN): 3 g/calf/day of mannan-oligosaccharides (n = 25); (iii) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 1 Feb 2018 · 8,073 accessesView PDF Cite

Shanmugasundaram, Sathesh Kumar Annamalai, Kantha Deivi Arunachalam et al.Contamination of environment by uranium is expected in places where mining of uranium ore and processing, nuclear testing and reactor operations when the control measures are not effective. The daughter radionuclides of the ores, chemical additives and residual uranium are the maincomponents of processed waste from uranium industries. The bioremediation of contaminated areas using plant species or group of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 6 · 11 Dec 2016 · 8,872 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOne Can Slow Down the Aging through AntioxidantsRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion T. PetrescuFree radicals are natural nanoparticles which are doing their part well defined in the human cell, but then they must be annihilated or eliminated to not destroy the cell or another part of our body. It has been shown that residual free radicals in the body are responsible for the aging. The role to annihilate them is ful-filled by the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 8 Dec 2016 · 10,070 accessesView PDF Cite
