Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Cocoa Pod Husk Compost Produced Using Rot Fungi on the Growth of Cocoa SeedlingsLaode Asrul, Iradhatullah Rahim, Tutik Kuswinanti et al.Rot fungi have the ability to decompose organic materials into simple compounds or elements as nutrients for plants. In the process, rot fungi produce secondary metabolites and absorb phosphate from their substrates so that the phosphate become available to plants. The purpose of this study was to identify the species of rot fungi isolated from decaying cocoa stems and to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 3 Feb 2018 · 8,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntimicrobial Effects of 1-Monocaprylin and 1-Monocaproin Through in vitro Growth Inhibition and Molecular Docking StudiesPalaniappan Maheswari, Kasthuri Revathi1-monocaproin and 1-monocaprylin synthesized through a novel process by the chemical reaction of glycidol and their respective fatty acids with copper acetate as the catalyst possessed the amphiphilic property. 1- monoacyl glycerols synthesized were found to exhibit antibacterial, antifungal, anti parasitic and antiviral properties. 1-monocaproin and 1-monocaprylin were able to show their antibacterial effect by inhibiting the growth of the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 19 Aug 2017 · 7,973 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobial Activities as Affected by Peat Dryness and AmeliorantEdi Husen, Fahmuddin AgusProblem statement: Acceleration of microbial activities and thus of CO2 emission in drained peat soils used for agriculture, is of the main environmental concern. The objectives of this study were to (i) examine microbial activities in peat samples treated with different levels of water contents and ameliorants and (ii) evaluate the relative contribution of microbial groups to peat respiration. Approach: … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 29 Sep 2011 · 7,548 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiocontrol of Soil Fungi in Tomato with Microencapsulates Containing Bacillus subtilisMarcela Hernàndez-Suàrez, Francisco Daniel Hernàndez-Castillo, Gabriel Gallegos-Morales et al.Problem Statement: An option to reduce pollution by synthetic agro-chemical in root plant disease management is the use of antagonist rhizobacteria belonging to Bacillus genus, because their inhibitory properties, stimulation of plant growth and crop yield increase. Approach: This study was carried out in order to evaluate if Bacillus subtilis strains could play an antagonists role of plant pathogens and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 8,934 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLeptospirosis in the Tropics: When Prevention Doesn't Easily Sell as a Ton of CureRoger Lee MendozaProblem statement: Human leptospirosis -- the most widespread zoonotic disease -- thrives in tropical and subtropical climates. It is seldom addressed ex ante or prior to an outbreak or expected outbreak by governments of high-risk countries. Whether common, post-exposure treatment with antimicrobial drugs is more cost-efficient than reducing animal reservoir populations was the overarching question that guided this study. A … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,381 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormetic Interventions in AgingSuresh I.S. RattanSingle or multiple exposure to low doses of potentially harmful agents can have a variety of anti-aging and longevity-extending hormetic effects. These hormetic stressors include irradiation, physical activity, food limitation, heat, hypergravity, dietary components and reactive oxygen species. Molecular mechanisms facilitating the hormetic effects are being elucidated and comprise a cascade of stress response and maintenance and repair pathways. Although … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,833 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Brief Review of the Latest Advances of Attapulgite as a Reinforcing Agent in Polymer Matrix NanocompositesThais Ferreira da Silva, Gabriel Portilho Monteiro de Souza, Guilherme Ferreira de Melo Morgado et al.The development of polymeric nanocomposites using clay minerals as a Nano filler is of great interest to researchers and industry. Many clay minerals are used to modify the properties of the polymers; this strategy improves the thermal and mechanical performance and changes the surface finishing and the processing characteristics. The Attapulgite (ATP), which is a clay mineral of the hydrated … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2021 · 7,425 accessesView PDFCite

NezzalThis present study has for principal objective to treat secondary effluents of the Staoueli purification plant (Algeria) with the average characteristics in the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) is 76 mg L-1and 16 NTU of turbidity by adsorption ultrafiltration coupling for its reuse in irrigation or in industry to reduce the water demand. A mineral ultrafiltration tubular membrane of CARBOSEP M2 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,542 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDFT Based Electrophilicity Index and QSAR study of Phenols as Anti Leukaemia AgentFarhan A. Pasha, Hemant K. Srivastava, Yakoob Beg, Pashupati P. singhDensity Functional reactivity indices based QSAR study of 49 phenol derivatives is presented in this paper. Two different models to describe the anti leukaemia activity of phenols have been made. First QSAR model includes molecular properties like molecular weight (Mw), hardness (η), chemical potential (μ), total energy, and electrophilicity index (ω). Various regression models have been made and regression quality … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,593 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFormation Mechanism and Characterization of PANI Nanoparticles by Hybrid Chemical and Gamma Irradiation TechniqueShawkat Salameh GasaymehHere we present additional data regarding specific doping process in nanoparticle samples of PANI. In such technique, the ionizing γ-irradiation and (dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid), DBSA were being used as dopants and as accelerators to the oxidizing agent to polymerize aniline monomer into conductive PANI Emeraldine Salt (ES), in which PANI was produced from its monomer by this noble methodology by a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 12 · 13 Feb 2019 · 8,385 accessesView PDFCite
