Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of γ- ray, Microwave Heating and Solar Irradiation of Apple Juice on Organochlorinated Pesticides ResiduesK. Al-Ismail, S. Herzallah, H. DmoorThis study was conducted to evaluate the effect of solar radiation, microwave heating and γ-irradiation on the Organochlorinated Pesticide (OCP’s) in apple juice. The solar radiation caused a destruction of 20% after 20 hr exposure to sunlight compared to 12% reduction for the tested OCP’s after microwave heating for 10 min. On the other hand, the use of γ-irradiation leads … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCross-Latitudinal, Seasonal and Diurnal Comparisons in Thyroid Hormone Concentrations in Sled DogsKriya L. Dunlap, Arleigh J. Reynolds, Kent R. Refsal et al.Problem Statement: Hypothyroidism has been a common disorder in humans and dogs. Amongst a sundry of functions, the thyroid gland plays a key role in metabolism and consequently, hypothyroidism has been a common diagnosis for a decrease in performance in sled dogs.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSensitization of Photohemolysis by a New Extraction from Flowers and Aerial Parts of Cichorium Pumilum Jacq: Effects of Inulin and Hydrogen PeroxideM-Ali H. Al-Akhras, Amr Amin, Karima Mohammad et al.Addition of inulin and hydrogen peroxide to new photosensitizers extracted from the flowers and aerial parts of the chicory (Cichorium Pumilum Jacq) have been investigated. Some of the isolated photosensitizers remain unidentified compounds. Chicory extracts are found to be dependent on light and temperature. Higher photohemolysis rate was noticed under the influence of light as compared to temperature. The effect … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,716 accessesView PDFCite
