According to the recent studies, Shrimp aquaculture is considered to be one of the most environmentally destructive forms of modern agriculture affecting mangroves directly [83]. Aquaculture destroys the mangroves to create shrimp ponds, reduce the ground water levels, and cause pollution to the surface water from the pond effluents [100]. Lack of long-term conservation and management of natural resources are the greatest shortcoming of shrimp aquaculture [40]. Researchers have noticed that the…
The main principle of manufacture of urea has two main reactions. 2NH3 + CO2 NH2COONH4 -37.4 Kcal/mol NH2COONH4 NH2CONH2 + H2O + 6.3 Kcal/mol While going main reactions, the undesirable side reaction taking place is 2NH2CONH2 NH2CONHCONH2 (Biuret) + NH3 This process is further complicated by the formation of a substance called biuret, NH2CONHCONH2, which should be kept low because it adversely affects the growth…
Water) Cadmium occurs naturally, which means it can enter drinking water due to weathering and leaching throughout soils to groundwater. It exists in water as the hydrated ion in inorganic complexes including, carbonates, hydroxides, chlorides, or sulfates. Its organic complexes are with humic acids. Other forms included erosion of soils and bedrock and deposition from factories. Consequences from drinking water contaminated with cadmium include short term and long term. Short term effects can…
monitoring of withdrawal symptoms then treatment according to the severity. The patient’s fluid status should be monitored to prevent the potential of fluid volume deficits (Kneisl et al., 2009). Medication management includes administration of magnesium sulfate to replace magnesium hence preventing seizures and also managing irritability. Benzodiazepines such as diazepam will be administered to prevent delirium tremens and thiamine will be administered. Mirrojello et al. (2015) state that blood…

protein-alkaline phosphatase is 49 kDa and 95 kDa, respectively. Additionally, the concentrations of MBP-AP Elution 1 protein and WT-AP Stage 4 are 0.278 mg/mL and 0.582 mg/mL, respectively. Introduction To determine the purity of a protein, a sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel…
Kaempferol is a natural polyphenol, secondary metabolite (flavonol), a type of flavonoid, found in a variety of plant-derived foods. Kaempferol is a yellow crystalline solid with a melting point of 276–278 °C. It is slightly soluble in water and highly soluble in hot ethanol, ethers, and DMSO. Kaempferol acts as an antioxidant by reducing oxidative stress. Many studies suggest that consuming kaempferol may reduce the risk of various cancers, and it is currently under consideration as a possible…
