Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRegeneration of Lyes for Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) Processes in Dairies: Comparison of Recycled Potash and Soda Solutions Cleaning PropertiesMarie Furic, Anne Elain, Walid Blel, Olivier SireThe regeneration of lyes for their integration in the dairy CIP was investigated applying an original process combining adsorption/coagulation and flocculation operations. Solutions of potassium hydroxide (KOH) and caustic soda (NaOH) soiled with 1% (v/v) of whole milk were submitted up to twenty successive regeneration cycles. The multiple recycling of the regenerated solutions was found to modify their physicochemical characteristics … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 5 · 6 Jul 2015 · 6,624 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysiological and Biochemical Evaluation of Fe-Efficiency in Fe-Deficient Maize GenotypesEntesar M. Essa, Sahar M. Zaghloul, Z.A. Salama et al.Iron (Fe) deficiency is prevalent particularly in calcareous soils of arid and semiarid regions. The present study aimed to investigate the response of eight local maize genotypes to Fe deficiency. In addition, a Fe- efficient (WF9) and a Fe-inefficient (ys1) indicator genotypes were used in this study. All genotypes were grown in growth chamber for 21 days in two levels … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 22 Apr 2015 · 7,280 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTESTING CARBOXYMETHYL CELLULASE ACTIVITY SECRETED BY TRICHOPHYTON TERRESTRE IN CARBOXYMETHYL CELLULOSE SOLUTIONMansoor Ahmad Lone, Sanjay Sahay, Ravinder, DeepakThe techniques employed for bioconversion of cellulosic biomass to simple sugars by cellulases have a great industrial brunt. Cold-adapted microorganisms are potential resource of cold-active carboxymethyl cellulases secluded from the cold regions. In this study, Trichophyton terrestre-a rare fungal species in Indian soils, isolated from the rhizosphere of Juglans regia L. during winter season was subjugated for the production and … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 4 Feb 2015 · 7,677 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractACCUMULATION OF RADIONUCLIDES BY PYLAISIELLA MOSS (PYLAISIA POLYANTHA) UNDER URBOECOSYSTEM CONDITIONST. V. Varduni, T. M. Minkina, E. A. Buraeva et al.Contamination of environment by radionuclides in territories under urboecosystem conditions is actual problem. The search of new express methods for radioactivity determination of environment is important task of research. In present work it was shown that mosses are bioindicators of radioactive contamination, because they accumulate radioactive substances in high concentrations. Using of bryoindication methods are promising techniques for the assessment … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 10 · 1 Dec 2014 · 6,450 accessesView PDFCite
