Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUtilization of Sewage Sludge in Agricultural Soil as Fertilizer in the Republic of Benin (West Africa): What are the Risks of Heavy Metals Contamination and Spreading?Fidèle Suanon, Lyde A.S. Tomètin, Biaou Dimon et al.Biosolids are the treated organic residuals, also known as sewage sludge, which are generated from domestic wastewater treatment plants. It is an organic matter and nutrients [phosphorous (P) and nitrogen (N)]-rich material. Due to these properties, it is has been reported to be a suitable fertilizer or soil amendment which can valuably replace synthesized NPK. Unfortunately, this matter is heavily … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2016 · 14,496 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeciation and Availability of Cr, Ni and Co IN Serpentine Soils of Ranau, SabahMahsa Tashakor, Wan Zuhairi Wan Yaacob, Hamzah MohamadProblem statement: Serpentine soils are known as a geogenic source of heavy metal pollution because they are anomalously rich in chromium, nickel and cobalt. Approach: However, only that portion of these metals which is available in the ecosystem and incorporates in the bio-transformation processes, is dangerous for the environment. Availability of Cr, Ni and Co depends on their speciation into … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 20 Mar 2013 · 13,551 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction, Purification and Characterization of Fish Chymotrypsin: A ReviewLiang Zhou, Suzanne M. Budge, Abdel E. Ghaly et al.Problem statement: Solid fish waste is generated from the unwanted parts of fish including heads, tails, fins, frames, offal (guts, kidney and liver) and skin. It accounts for up to 80% of material from production of surimi, 66% from production of fillet and 27% from production of headed and gutted fish. Currently, fish wastes are disposed off in land-based waste … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 22 Sep 2011 · 10,585 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntiproliferative Effects of Alkaloids Isolated from the Tuber of Stephania venosa via the Induction of Cell Cycle Arrest in Mammalian Cancer Cell LinesSirinapa Nantapap, Chatchanok Loetchutinat, Puttinan Meepowpan et al.Problem statement: S. venosa (Menispermaceae) is used in traditional medicine. The constituents of S. venosa belonging to showed remarkable cytotoxic activity. According to previous research, S. venosa contains several alkaloids, such as protoberberine stephanine cyclanoline and N-methylstepholidine, kamaline, (+)-N-carboxamidostepharine, (-)-O-methylstepharinosine, (-)-stepharinosine, aporphine (-)-O-acethylsukhodiamine and oxostephanosine. The chemical and biological investigations of this plant are interesting to bioassay-guided fractionation, particularly Antiproliferative … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,789 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Polyoxypregnane Glycoside from the Roots of Dregea volubilis (L.f) Benth. ex Hook. f and its Chondroprotective EffectSaksri Sanyacharernkul, Akanit Itghiarbha, Prachya Kongtawelert et al.Problem statement: Dregea genus (Asclepiadaceae) is well known for the rich of steroid pregnane contents and these plants are famous for the potential to be applied as alternative biological activities. Dregea volubilis is the only species of Dregea genus in Thailand. The chemical and biological investigations of this plant are interesting to bioassay-guided fractionation, particularly chondroprotective effect. Approach: The research … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,455 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimple and Rapid Method of Isolating Humic Acids from Tropical Peat Soils (Saprists)Shamsuddin Rosliza, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Kasim Susilawati et al.Problem Statement: The isolation (extraction, fractionation and purification) of humic acids (HA) from soils is laborious, time consuming and expensive. The extraction, fractionation and purification periods of these substances vary from 12 h-7 days. In order to facilitate production of HA at competitive cost, this study was conducted to investigate whether a simple and rapid procedure could be developed for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 8,552 accessesView PDF Cite
