Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLaboratory Diameteral Fatigue Performance of Stone Matrix Asphalt with Cellulose Oil Palm FiberRatnasamy Muniandy, Bujang B.K. HuatStone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) is a gap-graded mix that is gaining popularity worldwide. Generally, gap graded mixes are thought to be weak in fatigue resistance. In this study, cellulose fibers were pre-blended in PG64-22 binder with fiber proportions of 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8% and 1.0% by weight of aggregates. The fiber-modified binder showed improved rheological properties and showed that the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 8,979 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordUnraveling the Mechanisms of Plant Structural Defenses against Insect PestsAroni Preya Biswas, Roksana Al Nafiu Insha, Md. Khairul Mazed et al.Plants employ a variety of physical, chemical, and genetic strategies to defend against herbivore attacks. These biochemical defense mechanisms are complex and dynamic, encompassing both direct and indirect responses. Defense-related chemicals, whether constitutive or induced by herbivore damage, significantly influence herbivore feeding behavior, growth, and survival. Plant defense systems impact herbivore nutrition, development, and survival, highlighting the importance of chemical … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 1 · 7 Jan 2025 · 5,793 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBiochemical Efficacy of Nigella Sativa Oil and Metformin on Induced Diabetic Male RatsYassmina K. Mahmoud, Sherif Y. Saleh, Abd El Rehim A. El Ghannam, Ibrahim A. IbrahimThis study was carried out to investigate possible beneficial effects of Nigella sativa oil supplementation to diabetic rats. Fifty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups (n = 10/group) as follows: group I (normal control), group II (diabetic control), group III (diabetic rats treated with metformin), group IV (diabetic rats treated with metformin and Nigella sativa oil) and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2014 · 7,898 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordGeneration of Five New Musa Hybrids With Resistance To Black Sigatoka and High YieldRicardo Hernández, Teresa Ramírez, Juan Carlos Noa-Carrazana et al.The ability to identify genetic variation is indispensable to effective management and use of genetic resources. This work is the first approach concerning to generation and genetic differentiation of new Musa hybrid lines obtained in INIVIT (Cuba), crossing Musa acuminata male diploid (AA) x female triploid (ABB), genotypes selected by their resistant character to pests and diseases. From the obtained … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,811 accessesView PDF Cite
