Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycete) Isolates and their Effects on Subterranean Termite Coptotermes curvignathus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)Pik-Kheng Hoe, Choon-Fah J. Bong, Kadir Jugah, Amartalingam RajanProblem statement: Coptotermes curvignathus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) is a common termite pest found in oil palm plantation planted on peat. Currently, the control methods focus on using insecticides that lead to high cost and adverse effect to the environment. Approach: Biological control like the use of entomopathogens provides an alternative control method for termite infestation problem. However, several factors need to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 10,547 accessesView PDFCite

VaidyaProblem statement: The formation of a urinary stone, known as nephrolithiasis, urolithiasis, renal calculi or kidney stone is a serious, debilitating problem in all societies throughout the world. Struvite or Ammonium Magnesium Phosphate Hexahydrate (AMPH) is one of the components of urinary stone (calculi). Struvite stones are commonly found in women. Struvites form in humans as a result of urinary … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioaccumulation of Arsenic by FungiAdemola O. AdeyemiProblem statement: Arsenic is a known toxic element and its presence and toxicity in nature is a worldwide environmental problem. The use of microorganisms in bioremediation is a potential method to reduce as concentration in contaminated areas. Approach: In order to explore the possible bioremediation of this element, three filamentous fungi-Aspergillus niger, Serpula himantioides and Trametes versicolor were investigated for … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,895 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Thermostable α-Amylase Producing Natural Variant of Bacillus spp. Isolated From Soil in IranIraj Rasooli, Shakiba D. A. Astaneh, Hojjat Borna, Kamal A. BarchiniThermophilic processes appear more stable, rapid and less expensive and facilitate reactant activity and product recovery. Amylases have a quarter of the world enzyme market and thermostable a-amylases possess extensive commercial applications. Since little work has been done on strain isolation, growth and enzyme yield optimization, the level of thermophilic enzyme production remains relatively low. Therefore, large scale exploitation of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,907 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBio-Safety Technology in Production of Bovine Herpesvirus Type 5 (BoHV-5) Using an Alternative Serum-Free MediumTereza C. Cardoso, Heitor F. Ferrari, Maria Cecília R. Luvizotto, Clarice W. ArnsThe detection and growth of bovine herpes virus type 5 (BoHV-5) was evaluated in three different media without foetal bovine serum or animal protein by infecting three different cell lines. The OPTI-PRO, VP-SFM and RPMI 1640 media were supplemented by L-glutamine, antibiotics added by 5µg of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) and used to adapt CER, MDBK and CRIB cells in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Environmental and Hydraulic Performance of Bio-Composite Revetment BlocksThamer A. Mohamed, Nor A. Alias, Abdul H. Ghazali, Mohd. S. JaafarIt is necessary to develop a concrete revetment block which can cater for environment and at the same time it will be effective in protecting river banks (stabilize the slope of banks) from scouring during flood. In the present study, the environmental and hydraulic performance of the proposed revetment block was evaluated through laboratory and field tests. The tested revetment … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,969 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial Distribution of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2 in Normal and Lesioned Central Nervous System of Pleurodeles waltliiMarie Moftah, Marc Landry, Frederic Nagy, Jean-Marie CabelguenFibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) have been implicated in numerous cellular processes including proliferation, migration, differentiation and neuronal survival. One of these growth factors, Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF2), is apparently implicated in the ability of the adult salamander (Pleurodeles waltlii) to recover locomotion following complete transection of the spinal cord. In a previous study, we reported up regulation of FGF2 … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 4 Sep 2012 · 7,151 accessesView PDFCite
