Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractField Evaluation of a Pneumatic Prototype Machine Designed to Control the Colorado Potato Beetle in Potato CropsSaad Almady, Mohamed KhelifiThe Colorado Potato Beetle (CPB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say, 1824, is a major insect pest of potato plants. It can greatly reduce potato yields if left uncontrolled. The most effective method of controlling the CPB is to apply chemical insecticides during its life cycle. However, the CPB tends to develop resistance to chemicals. Therefore, its control is difficult. This has prompted … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 26 Dec 2022 · 6,404 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Salinity, pH, Light Intensity on Growth and Lipid Production of Microalgae for Bioenergy ApplicationMonika Prakash Rai, Trishnamoni Gautom, Nikunj SharmaThe crisis of energy producing molecules (fuels) is expected to increase in future, which is currently produced from crude mineral oil. Biodiesel is most reliable, non-toxic, biocompatible liquid fuel that can replace the existing unsustainable sources of energy. Among all the known sources, microalgae display high potential for the production of biodiesel owing to their numerous benefits like higher biomass … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2015 · 16,796 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractToxicity of Endosulfan to the Red Hybrid TilapiaDwight E. Robinson, Winroy WilliamsExposure of mature red hybrid Tilapia sp. to a range of sub-lethal concentrations of endosulfan for 21 days induced a spectrum of often not clearly distinguishable Behavioural Toxic Symptoms (BTS), ranging from reversible to eventually fatal responses. The No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC: Below the threshold of BTS) and the Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC: Above the threshold of low … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 11 Mar 2015 · 7,119 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConcentration-Effect, Incidence and Mechanism of Nevirapine HepatotoxicityAdikwu Elias, Brambaifa NelsonNevirapine is a dipyridozepinone non nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor approved for use in HIV-infected patients. Its efficacy has been well demonstrated in numerous clinical trials. It has activity against HIV-1 but does not have significant activity against HIV-2 or other retroviruses.

It is generally a recognized neurotoxin that is believed to be at the root cause of Alzheimer’s disease and third most abundant element in the earth’s crust after oxygen and silicon. Traditionally, aluminium has been considered as nontoxic to humans. However, in … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 25 Aug 2012 · 7,455 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of MgCl2 on Germination, Growth and Biomass Allocation of the Radish CV. "Cherry Belle"William Brandenburg, Catherine KleierProblem statement: To determine the effect of MgCl2 on radish (Raphanus sativus), plants were grown in controlled environmental growth chambers and given one of three watering treatments; 0.01, 0.1 and 0 M (control) MgCl2. Approach: At high concentrations (0.1 M), MgCl2 was toxic resulting in very low (44%) germination rates and the subsequent death of all but three undersized plants … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 8,239 accessesView PDFCite
