Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAnalysis of Non-Equilibrium Phase Change in Transfers at Low Water Content by Considering the Film FlowMarcel Bawindsom Kébré, François Ouédraogo, Bétaboalé Naon et al.In this study, we analyze the effect of non-equilibrium phase change on transfer at low water content in a sandy soil by considering the contribution of film flow in the motion of liquid water. Indeed, most of the non-equilibrium study methods use for hydraulic conductivity, the van Genuchten-Mualem (VGM) capillary model which does not consider the film flow occurred at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 1 Jun 2021 · 6,395 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanical Scarification and Sucrose Priming Overcome Physical Dormancy in Caesalpinia spinosa (Tara) Seeds from the Peruvian HighlandsWilfredo Ruiz-Camacho, Ítalo Maldonado Ramirez, Juan Eduardo Suarez Rivadeneira et al.Caesalpinia spinose (tara) is a leguminous tree native to the Peruvian Andes-Amazon region, valued for soil restoration and high tannin content. However, its large-scale propagation is constrained by physical seed dormancy caused by a hard and impermeable seed coat. This study evaluated six pre-germination treatments to break dormancy and enhance early seedling development under local agroclimatic conditions in Magdalena District, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 12 Aug 2026 · 1,204 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhytochemical Content and Antioxidant Potential of Leaf Extract Berchermia discolour (Munie Tree) For Goats in The Limpopo Province, South AfricaMosima Molepo, Grace Manyelo, Busisiwe GunyaThe study aims to investigate the phytochemical content and antioxidant potential of leaf extract Berchermia discolour (Munie tree) for goats. Plant leaves were ground, and their powder was mixed with reagents and chemicals to attain the concentration level of phytochemicals and other bioactive compounds found in these plant's properties. Most of the phytoconstituents were present (shown by the change of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 2 · 29 Mar 2025 · 5,357 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Analysis of Proteins in Two Typical Chinese Thin-Shell WalnutsXu Meng, Tian YilingThis study compared functional properties and molecular characteristics of proteins from two thin-shelled walnut (Juglans regia L.) cultivars predominantly grown in China: Wen 185 and Lvling. Wen 185 walnut protein demonstrated significantly superior performance compared to Lvling across multiple functional parameters, including solubility, emulsifying capacity, foaming capacity, water absorption, and oil absorption. Molecular weight distribution analysis revealed that both proteins … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2026 · 1,481 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVisual-Spatial Attention Abilities Among School Children Exposed to Low Environmental Lead LevelSana Maidoumi, Mariam Ouisselsat, Charif Radouan Ouaziz et al.Lead (Pb) is an intrusive toxic matter which harms the neuro-cognitive and behavioral development of children even with doses considered normal. The present paper aims at evaluating the visual-spatial attention function among 142 schoolchildren living in a mining area (cases) in comparison to 177 living in the Chouiter area (control group) in Marrakech. We used the Bell Dam Test (BDT) … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 4 · 12 Oct 2022 · 5,406 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNattokinase Activity Guided Natto Fermentation Process OptimizationXiaojie Ren, Chao Huang, Xin Shan et al.The natto kinase in natto has obvious thrombolytic effect, has the advantages of low cost, small side effects, long half-life and can be taken orally, so it has attracted much attention. At present, the research on natto kinase in our country mainly focuses on the selection of natto fermentation strains, the optimization of gene expression conditions and the exploration of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2021 · 7,151 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGroundwater Quality Assessment of Three Zonal Regions in the Sunyani MunicipalityKwabena Antwi Kusi, Samuel Wiafe, Patrick Akaribila NsoniniThis project aimed at assessing the variation of ground water quality (physical, chemical and bacteriological parameters) in relation to the WHO standards from fifteen (15) randomly selected ground water sources in three (3) zones namely Abesim, Baakoniaba/Berlin-Top and New-Dormaa in the Sunyani Municipality. Groundwater samples were collected from five sampling points in each zone to determine the quality of the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2020 · 7,311 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Composted Animal Manure as Fertilizer on Productivity of Azolla Pinnata Grown in Earthen PondsRistianto Utomo, Cuk Tri Noviandi, Nafiatul Umami, Adhitya PermadiAzolla pinnata contains a high nutritional value with a high protein content of 25%, so it can be used as an alternative to animal feed. The low production of Azolla is caused by the suboptimal use of fertilizers. This study aims were to determine the type of manure (composted manure from poultry, goats, and rabbit) which was the most optimal … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 9 Nov 2019 · 11,061 accessesView PDF Cite
