Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleChitinolytic Bacteria Isolated from Chili Rhizosphere: Chitinase Characterization and Its Application as Biocontrol for Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Genn.)Nisa Rachmania Mubarik, Irni Mahagiani, Amaryllis Anindyaputri et al.Problem statement: Chitin, a common constituent of insect exoskeleton, could be hydrolyzed by chitinase. The research was conducted to screen chitinolytic rhizobacteria isolated from rhizosphere of chilli pepper and to determine their chitinase activity in degrading chitin of whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Genn. (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). Whitefly is recognized as an important pest on many crops including chilli pepper. Approach: Screening and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 11 Nov 2010 · 18,538 accessesView PDFCite

Approach: Three new organotin(IV) compounds of type N-benzyl-N-isopropyldithiocarbamate have been successfully synthesized by direct reaction between secondary amine with organotin(IV) chloride using in situ method. All the compounds were characterized using elemental analysis, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,092 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSynthesis and Characterization of Organotin(IV) Complexes Derived of 2-amino-5-nitrobenzoic Acid: In vitro Antibacterial Screening ActivityYip-Foo Win, Siang-Guan Teoh, M. R. Vikneswaran et al.Problem statement: Tremendous studies have been carried out on organotin(IV) complexes derivatives of carboxylate anions. However, the synthesis and characterization as well as the in vitro antibacterial screening activity of organotin(IV) carboxylate derived of 2-amino-5-nitrobenzoic acid have not been carried out. Approach: Organotin(IV) carboxylate complexes derivative of 2-amino-5-nitrobenzoic acid, 2-NH2-5-NO2-C6H3COOH have been successfully synthesized. The acid and complexes obtained were … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 8,797 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSynthesis and Characterization of Organotin(IV) Complexes Derived of 3-(Dimethylamino)benzoic Acid: Cytotoxic Assay on Human Liver Carcinoma Cells (HepG2)Yip-Foo Win, Siang-Guan Teoh, Tengku-Sifzizul Tengku-Muhammad et al.Problem statement: Many studies have been carried out on organotin(IV) complexes derivative of carboxylate anions. However, the synthesis and characterization as well as the cytotoxic assay of organotin(IV) carboxylate derived of 3-(dimethylamino)benzoic acid have not been studied. Approach: Organotin(IV) carboxylate complexes derivative of 3-(dimethylamino)benzoic acid, 3-[N(CH3)2]C6H4COOH have been successfully synthesized. Two types of diorganotin(IV) complexes, [{3-[N(CH3)2]C6H4COO(R)2Sn}2O]2 dimer (R = methyl … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,310 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCharacterization of Substrate-Borne Vibrational Signals of Euschistus servus (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)Brittany Lampson, Young Han, Ahmad Khalilian et al.Problem Statement: Stink bugs were not major pests of cotton in the southeastern United States until cotton varieties containing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) transgenes came into common use, enabling reductions in insecticide applications against highly destructive lepidopteran pests. To maintain the benefits of reduced insecticide applications, it would be advantageous to detect and target isolated populations of stink bugs before they … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,272 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFeature Extraction for Characterization of Breast Lesions in Ultrasound Echography and ElastographyShirley Selvan, M. Kavitha, S. Shenbagadevi, S. SureshProblem statement: Elastography is developed as a quantitative approach to imaging linear elastic properties of tissues to detect suspicious tumors.
