Jatropha gossypiifolia L. (Euphorbiaceae), widely known as “bellyache bush,” is a medicinal plant largely used throughout Africa and America for treatment of inflammatory analgesic antidiarrheal diseases. In spite of some published data on its efficiency, there are still few toxicological data unfolding the safety of this plant. The plant was extracted with many solvents (pet. ether, ethanol, and water). The preliminary phytochemical outcomes revealed that flavonoids and other glycosides as…

Experimental Design: We will determine the effect of HIV-1 Tat on the antibody type and production in response to influenza vaccine. We chose influenza vaccine and pneumococcal vaccine to differentiate the effects between T cell dependent and T cell independent humoral responses. These are also suggested to individuals who are immunocompromised, especially people infected with HIV-1. For this purpose, C5BL6/J mice will be treated with HIV-1 Tat for one dose a week until 3 weeks. On week 4, all…

Liquefaction and gasification in supercritical water (SCW) are two processes for transferring substances into liquid and gaseous fuels, which is special for high moisture substances6. Supercritical water, which is serve as the solvent and the reactant in these reactions, mainly decreases mass transition restrictions in ambient condition water; therefore, it helps to accelerate the chemical reactions largely9. However, the vaporization of water along with raw materials is required by traditional…

Vitamins and minerals are both essential nutrients that are needed by the body. Different from the macronutrients, they are said to be micronutrients by meaning that they are needed only in small amounts. Nevertheless, we should not forget about their essentiality and their importance in our daily diet1. There are two types of vitamins, fat-soluble and water-soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins include vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K. They are found in fatty foods and animal products like…

go greener and they’ve enhanced solar and wind energy. I should remind that renewable energy sources now account for 17.05 percent. As for the advanced water filtration and purification systems they’ve made, it contains the benefits of chemical adsorption, ion exchange, and ultrafiltration processes, which can turn heavily contaminated water into fresh drinkable water. CAT scans have provided advances for the medical field, impacting the lifespan of humankind. Do these technologies not help the…

current with varying potential (volt). As the hydrolysate dilution was increased, the maximum current density decreased. CV is widely used to obtain the voltammetry data. The cyclic voltamograms provides the information of the redox reaction and adsorption/desorption effects with the applied potential. In addition, the stability, reversibility, and electron transfer kinetics can be determined using the CV peak behavior. CV can also be used to determine the electron stoichiometry of a system, the…

In South Australia the Pyrite mine (iron sulfide) initially began in the mid 1950’s and the mining operations stopped and closed at the end of 1972. The production of iron sulfide was to manufacture and create fertilizers such as, superphosphate fertilizer. Superphosphate fertilizer is used in agriculture where is helps to sustain the rapid change of social economic after WWII.

INTRODUCTION Worldwide, air pollution is a growing threat to human health and the natural environment. One of the major effects of air pollution is acid rain and it is caused by sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) gases. The combustion of high sulphur content fossil fuels can release harmful toxic gases into the air and therefore pose serious environmental problems. Coal, oil and natural gas are major energy resources available in environment where as fuel combustion processes and…

properties [39]. Zn concentration is regulated under physiological conditions by several transporters [40, 41], so that Zn ions are essentially nontoxic to higher organisms. Although homeostasis regulates Zn uptake by cells, it does not control zinc adsorption to cell membranes. Among the mechanisms proposed for the antimicrobial effect of Zn, a direct interaction with microbial membranes leading to membrane destabilization and enhanced permeability has been discussed. Cellular internalization…
