Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleControlled Release Behaviors of Tribenuron Methyl Herbicide and Potassium Nitrate Fertilizer from Natural Polymer Blended Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) Hydrogel MicrospheresFawzi Habeeb Jabrail, Wajeeh Mohammed Jamil, Maher Zeki Elsabee, Kailash Chandra GuptaPolyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) hydrogel microspheres for controlled release of fertilizer (KNO3) and Tribenuron Methyl Herbicide (TBM) were prepared by blending the naturally occurring Alginate (AL) and Pectin (PE). The cross-linking in PVA hydrogel microspheres was carried out by varying the amount of glutaraldehyde from 0.5-1.0 wt%. To control the loading and release properties of PVA hydrogel microspheres, a small amount … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 5 · 13 Jul 2019 · 7,673 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleControlled Delivery System for NPK Agrochemical Release from Chitosan Copolymer HydrogelsMaysam S. Mutlaq, Fawzi Habeeb JabrailChitosan (CS) the polysaccharide was copolymerized with Poly (Vinyl Alcohol) (PVA) for the preparation of CS-co-PVA hydrogel and with Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) for CS-co-CMC hydrogel. The prepared hydrogels were characterized by FTIR, thermal analysis (TGA and DSC), and SEM. The hydrogels were studied for agriculture applications, where their ability to swell and take large quantities of water many times its … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 8 Sep 2022 · 6,746 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPreparation and Properties Study of PCM@ECD BilayerYan Zhao, Heng Zhang, Yanfei Zhao et al.This study reports the fabrication of a core-shell active bilayer membrane (PCM@ECD) via a combined tape-casting and layer-transfer methodology. The inner core layer comprised Pectin-Chitosan (PC) microcapsules, synthesized by complex coacervation, encapsulating Orange Peel Essential Oil (OPEOM) with an embedding efficiency of 83.08%. The outer shell layer consisted of Ethyl Cellulose (EC) doped with zinc-doped carbon dots (Zn-CDs, average size: … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 8 May 2026 · 1,600 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMechanism of Microencapsulation with Urea-Formaldehyde PolymerRochmadi, Agus Prasetya, Wahyu HasokowatiProblem statement: Microcapsule is one of important fine chemical products in the current chemical industries. Better understanding of microencapsulation process is useful to properly design of microcapsule with specific characteristics. The aim of this research is to study the mechanism of Urea-Formaldehyde (UF) microcapsules formation. Approach: Microcapsule was prepared in two steps. The first step was the preparation of oil … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,715 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstrous Synchronization Protocols in South African Merino EwesNhlakanipho Sam Zulu, Fhulufhelo Vincent Ramukhithi, Khoboso Christine LehloenyaThe South African Merino breed is the most important sheep breed in South Africa due to its superior wool quality. With an increasing wool demand from China and Europe, the need for wool production in South Africa has risen significantly. To meet this high demand, it is crucial to enhance the reproduction rate of the Merino sheep using assisted reproduction … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2025 · 7,007 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Management and Hormonal Oestrous Synchronisation on Indigenous Sheep Reared ExtensivelyAyanda Maqhashu, Jabulani Nkululeko Ngcobo, Hester Adri O'Neill et al.As the global population increases, demand for animal products will result in increased livestock-related greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. One of the strategies for reducing this impact would be the improvement of indigenous livestock reproductive efficiency that are hardy and well adapted to harsh environmental regions. The use of reproductive technologies increases efficiency of animals necessary for … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 29 Aug 2024 · 4,778 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractFundamental Questions about γδT CellsMoulay Yassine Belghali, Saadia Ba-M’hamed, Mouna Khouchani, Brahim AdmouγδT cells is a minor subgroup of T lymphocytes expressing γδ-T Cell Receptor (TCR), with many subsets, dominated by Vδ2 and Vδ1. γδT cells recognize antigens independently of the context of MHC class I, MHC class II, or CD1 presenting molecules. However, this recognition requires the expression of the transmembrane Butyrophilin proteins by the presenting cells. Their activation is controlled … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 15 Dec 2020 · 6,382 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractβ-carotene Supplementation Increases Progesterone Concentration and Glutathione Peroxidase Activity Following Alternative Progesterone Primed Oestrous Synchronization Protocol in GoatsDominic Lado Marino Gore, Khoboso Christina LehloenyaThe present study evaluated the effect of β-carotene supplementation and oestrous synchronization protocol on ovarian activity and fertility of Saanen does during the breeding season. The supplemented group received 100 mg β-carotene during the breeding and all does were synchronised with Controlled Internal Drug Release dispenser (CIDR) and injected with cloprostenol at CIDR withdrawal. One group of does were injected … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 8 Aug 2020 · 6,896 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite
