Rising environmental concerns toward the use of synthetic chemicals as well as global acceptance of natural products has emphasized the need for exploring novel and sustainable sources of eco-friendly dyes for the textile sector. Our study was conducted to explore the natural colorant potential of black carrot (Daucus carota L.) plant residue for textile processing and optimizing conditions for cotton...
In the present research, a “green” recipe was used to produce innovative phytogenic magnetic nanoparticles (PMNPs) from leaf extract of Fraxinus chinensis Roxb without employing any additional toxic surfactants as capping agents. The convenient reaction between metal salt solution and plant biomolecules occurred within a few minutes by color changes from pale green to intense black, hinting at the...
The current investigation was undertaken to assess the toxic potential of synthetic insecticides (K.Othrin and bio-max) and botanical extracts (Mentha royleana L. and Artemisia absinthium L.) against Tribolium castaneum in the laboratory. Different concentrations of insecticides and botanical extracts were used following complete randomized block design. The results indicated that the toxic effects...
Water pollution has become a major environmental concern for public and environmental health in developing countries. Water resources are being contaminated mainly due to mixing of domestic, municipal, and industrial wastewaters. The wastewater management and treatment situation is deplorable mainly because of financial constraints, the unavailability of technically trained human resources, and electricity...
In developing countries, good-quality water is contaminated due to the disposal of untreated municipal and industrial wastewater (WW) into natural water reservoirs. Most of the wastewater is not treated properly according to international standards, and usually is disposed of and/or utilized for irrigation without appropriate treatment. The main hurdles in providing wastewater treatment (WWT) in developing...
Soil samples from petroleum-contaminated soil were collected from 25 different petroleum filling stations and automobile workshops in the district of Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhawa, Pakistan. A total of seven bacterial genera were isolated. All of the isolates were Gram-positive bacteria. The genera identified by the culture and cell morphological characteristics were: Bacillus, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus,...
Background. Captures of Gymnura altavela from the Syrian marine waters allowed to improve knowledge of size at first sexuality of males and females, reproductive period and fecundity. Materials and Methods. In all, 114 specimens were measured for disk width (DW) and weighed. Sexual maturity was determined in males from the length of claspers and aspects of the reproductive tract, and in females from...
The purpose of this study was to investigate possible alterations in acid-base balance parameters and the coagulation profile in neonatal diarrheic calves. Twenty neonatal diarrheic and 20 clinically healthy neonatal calves aged between 1 week to 10 days were used. All blood samples were taken on the third day from the onset of diarrhea symptom. Venous blood samples were collected from each animal...
Background. Salted fish products are popular in many countries around the world. Salting is one of the oldest techniques for fish preservation, and is essentially intended to increase the shelf-life of the product depressing water activity by means of dehydration and salt uptake by the fish muscle. However, the current demand for salted fish is driven more by the flavour of the product than for preservation...
The authors report in this paper the first record of basking shark, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, 1765), off the coast of Syria (eastern Mediterranean). The specimen was an adult female, 690 cm total length and weighing approximately 2.5 t. It was a pregnant female at the beginning of gestation and contained 34 egg cases. The first description of C. maximus egg case is provided with short comments...
In this report, we describe a patient with a subvalvular membrane on the left ventricular outflow tract. Discrete subvalvular membrane is a cause of left ventricular outflow tract narrowing. Multidetector computerised tomography can demonstrate the anatomical three-dimensional view of this region and guide for surgery. (Folia Morphol 2011; 70, 4: 315–317)
W latach 1984-1985 w rejonie południowo-zachodniej Słowacji przeprowadzono porównanie efektywności syntetycznych feromonów płciowych produkcji amerykańskiej i czechosłowackiej przy pomocy nie zapłodnionych samic omacnicy prosowianki (Ostrinia nubilalis). Przez dwa lata przeważał biotyp szkodnika reagującego na typ feromonu, składającego się z 97% (7) - 11-tetradecenyl octanu i 356 (E) - 11-tetradecenyl...
