A greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on cadmium (Cd) and phosphorus (P) uptake by Sedum alfredii Hance (a Cd hyperaccumulator), and Ipomoea aquatica Forks from Cd-contaminated vegetable soils. In this experiment, four treatments were conducted: (1) I. aquatica (monoculture); (2) S. alfredii with I. aquatica (interculture); (3) interculture with GC fungi (GC: Glomus caledonium 90036); and (4) interculture with GV fungi (GV: Glomus ...
Fuel Economy; I understand that the distance traveled by the car using a liter of Petrol, can tell us how many liters it requires to travel the whole distance. This will also help us to eventually find Arwa's and Bao's spending on their cars and the total cost in the end. As the cars are of different sizes, this will make an important factor in the modeling of the equation. Distance along Normal Route = S Distance off Route for Fuel= d Fuel consumed = F Fuel Economy= Eco Total Cost= C Petrol ...
REDUCED INITIAL DATASET FROM 33,869 TO 26,011 SEQUENCESThe protein sequences were retrieved from the Ensemble FTP website. DISOPRED2 server contains about 750 non-redundant sequences and it was used to predict the disorder hits in the protein sequences. In order to have a high accuracy the false positive rate threshold was set to 2%. Finally, the output would be obtained in the form of PSI-BLAST hits and alignments. CD-HIT is a program used to remove redundant sequences and to cluster protein...
Osteoporosis is a disease of the bone; which makes the bones abnormally dense and prone to fractures. There are different kinds of Osteoporosis, differ by their pattern of inheritance and the severity of their signs and symptoms. There are typically three types of osteopetrosis; autosomal dominant osteopetrosis (ADO), autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO) and intermediate autosomal osteopetrosis (IAO). Autosomal dominant osteopetrosis is typically the less harsh type of the disorder and mos...
The solubility and dissolution rate of active ingredients are of major importance in preformulation studies of pharmaceutical dosage forms. In the present study passively absorbed drugs are classified based on their intrinsic dissolution rate (IDR) and their intestinal permeabilities. Intrinsic dissolution rate was determined by measuring the dissolution of a non-disintegrating disk of drug and effective intestinal permeability of tested drugs in rat jejunum was determined using single perfus...
INTRODUCTION Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) were first reported in 1983 (Knothe H, Shah P, Krcmery V, Antal M, Mitsuhashi S 1983) while plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamases were reported in 1988 (Bauernfeind A, Chong Y, Schweighart S 1989). However, George A. Jacoby 2009 were stated that AmpC ß-lactamase of E.coli was the first bacterial enzyme that destroyed penicillin reported in 1940 even it was yet named. Normally ESBLs are mutant of plasmid-mediated ß-lactamases which are der...
Mossbauer Spectroscopy, or nuclear gamma resonance spectroscopy, is one of the more highly sensitive techniques in spectroscopy. The technique examines transitions that occur from the nuclear ground state and a low energy excited state.1 The technique can be applied to many isotopic nuclei, but the most common is 57Fe. Applications of 57Fe Mossbauer Spectroscopy range from phase transformation studies in materials to probing catalytic properties of metals found in many proteins and enzymes. T...
We report the molecular cloning and characterization of a full-length cDNA probably encoding CNMT from Aristolochia fimbriata. The work presented here details the structural analysis of a translated nucleotide sequence from Arsitolochia fimbriata enzymes that could be involved in alkaloid biosynthesis. On the basis of computational analysis of the protein sequence it was predicted to be a SAM dependent S-coclaurine N-Methyltransferase, which transfers the activated methyl group of SAM to S-co...
This section is considered in the data for analysis and investigated the causes that might affect the finding. However, the data screening is also observing the data position for all the remaining data. The 398 data are input into SPSS version 20 and analyzed using AMOS version 18.0. The data screening included outlier detection, missing data, descriptive statistic, reliability, univariate normality, multicollinearity, linearity etc. Each part of data screening will be discussed in the next s...
Microorganisms are important for animal and plant life, their presence in the surroundings is essential for survival of all life forms. This importance can be proved by the large number of prokaryotes in human body, mainly bacteria, it was found that there are ten time more bacteria than human cells. Normal flora describe the microbes that colonize human body, during birth and after, and remain for life. Microbes of normal flora are found in many body sites, such as moist skin, gastrointestin...
