Citrus is the general term for plants belonging to the family Rutaceae (Fejzic and Cavar, 2014). Citrus fruits are one of the important horticultural crops, with worldwide agricultural production of over 80 million tons per year. Brazil, China, United States, Mexico, India and Spain are the leading producers (Karoui, I. J and Marzouk, B, 2013, Marti et al., 2009). The most common citrus fruits are sweet orange (C. sinensis Osbeck), mandarin (C. reticulata Blanco), lime (C. aurantifolia Christm),…

Figure c in the diagram shows the results of testing this hypothesis. It is a demonstration of the abnormal splice product using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, a technique used in genetic studies that allows the detection and quantification of mRNA. This method shows whether or not a specific gene is being expressed in a given sample. While the RNA from the unaffected individuals produces the expected product, the diagram shows an abnormal product of 489 bp in the samples…

quantitative PCR, plaque assay, transmission electron microscopy, TUNEL assay, flow cytometric analysis of apoptosis, western blot, subcellular fractionation extraction, inhibition of apoptosis using specific inhibitors, and cytokine and chemokine quantification. The replication efficiency of H1N1, H5N1, and H7N2 in P815 mast cells was analyzed in figure 1. A HA assay examined red blood cells’ contact with IAV’s protein envelope, which resulted in clumping. The standard plaque assay was used…

The TE only provided a summary of the project’s outcome achievements, and rated the project’s overall outcome effectiveness as “Moderately Unsatisfactory”. This TER will also rate the project’s outcome effectiveness as “Moderately Unsatisfactory”. The project has been successful in working towards realizing its intended targets, but due to the lack of timely approval of relevant laws and regulation by the government, the project’s other achievements cannot serve well the project’s goals. The…

1. Define and describe the three stages of Design Psychology 1) The first stage, low-level property extraction. This stage consists of detection of shape, spatial attributes, orientation, color, texture, movement and often called “preattentive” processing. Important characteristics of Stage 1 processing include: • Rapid parallel processing • Extraction of features, orientation, color, texture, and movement patterns • Transitory nature of information, which is briefly held in an iconic store •…

Male or female Sprague-Dawley rats (8–12 weeks old) were purchased from Damul Sciences (Daejeon-si, Korea). This study was conducted in accordance with the Guidelines for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals and approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC, No: IACUC140047). Over the acclimatization period and during the study, the range of temperatures and humidity were recorded daily; ambient temperature was maintained in the 25 ± 1 °C range; humidity level was measured…

Introduction Structural health monitoring systems (SHMS) incorporates mechanical and electronic systems in inspection and maintenance of bridge performance. A SHMS evaluates structural condition by monitoring loadings and other parameters. The results can then be used to plan and perform inspection activities. The evaluations further highlight the damages, their extent and modification. The system comprises of six integrated modules which are: • Module 1 - the sensory system, • Module 2 - the…

Guinn_ENVM510_M7GradedAssign Air Pollution and Birth Outcome Exposure Assessment of Environmental Pollutants Challenges of exposure assessment in environmental epidemiology Environmental epidemiologist is charged with the task of accurately linking environmental hazards to adverse health outcome in order to protect the public. This task has inherent challenges in that, a recorded exposure does not automatically preclude a harmful health outcome. The challenges of exposure assessment…

processes and methodology used in order to accurately gauze and measure the growth factor and platelet concentrations. Process of this study also includes the statistical tools and analysis of measurement. The output of this study will be the quantification of the levels of growth factor of platelet concentrate and growth factor concentrate. Other outputs may include findings on which of the two protocols will have greater platelet and growth factor concentrates, which thus, can lead to…

Over the past few decades, increasing research and development efforts toward value addition and efficient utilization of nutritionally rich agro-industrial residues have been gaining attention around the world. Several industrial residues, such as whey, sugar beet pulp, cassava bagasse, apple pomace, citrus waste, coffee pulp/husk, etc., have been studied as model system. They are either used as microbial substrates in fermentation or are subjected to the extraction of bioactive molecules1-4.…
