A naphthalimide derivative was successfully synthesized and characterized as an Al3+-selective fluorescent probe. An obvious red-shift of the signal was observed in the presence of Al3+ in ethanol solution. This proposed probe exhibited a dynamic response range for Al3+ from 1.3 × 10-6 to 7.0 × 10-6 M with a detection limit of 8.2 × 10-7 M.
Objective: To measure the psychosocial status of mothers who had babies with infantile colic (IC) in a prospective-design study.
The β-lactam antibiotics have long been a cornerstone for the treatment of bacterial infection. Recently, a readily transferable antibiotic resistance factor called the New Delhi metallo-Beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) has been found to confer enteric bacteria resistance to nearly all β-lactams antibiotics, including the heralded carbapenems, posing a serious threat to human health. In study to identify suitable NDM-1 inhibitors from Chembridge database using Virtual screening and molecular docking approach.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of culdotomy in surgical tubal sterilization and extrauterine tubal pregnancy, ruptured or intact.
Methods: This is a prospective study of 11 cases of extrauterine tubal pregnancy and 29 cases of tubal sterilization subjected to transvaginal adnexal surgery via culdotomy from 2009-2014.
Natural gas exploration activities have been singled out as a source of the lingering poverty and a direct negation of the concept of sustainable development in the peasant rural communities. Thus, this paper examines the impact of natural gas exploration activities on the lingering poverty in the Niger Delta region. Essentially, the main environmental challenge in the region is how to tackle environmental degradation from natural gas production activities which undoubtedly have serious impact on socioeconomic activities and the livelihoods of the local people.
The current study was conducted to develop Agrobacterium-mediated transformation protocol for mature seed-derived callus tissues of Citrus cultivar ‘GWZ’ (Gailiangcheng orange x Weizhang Satsuma mandarin) using gfp as reporter. Transformation experiments were performed with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain ‘EHA-105’, harboring a binary vector ‘pBin19’.
This study aims to investigate the impact of leadership styles on organisational innovativeness in the Sri Lankan plantation sector, with organisational culture as the mediating variable. Using a self-administered questionnaire, data was collected from 235 estate managers based on the constructs identified in the literature. The findings provide partial support to the hypothesised relationships. Although studies between leadership styles, organisational culture and organisational innovativeness exist, they are mostly conducted in isolation.
Cassava (Manihot esculenta, crantz), is an important root crop in the tropics and substropics of Africa and Latin American. It is vegetatively propagated crop. Due to the following cycles of propagation, viruses are accumulated, which contributes to the decline of cassava yield and quality. Stem cuttings of four cassava accessions Six-mois, Rendre, yalipé and M61/033 were collected in experimental field and have brought to laboratory. Infected plants were thermotherapy treated by incubation of plants at 42°C/day and 38/night for 2 weeks.
The horse gram commonly known as kulith is a traditional unexploited tropical grain legume and well known for its hardiness, adaptability to poor soil and adverse climatic condition. The horse gram is a cheapest source of protein. Further it is also rich in minerals such as calcium. The present work is undertaken with a view to add value addition of horse gram by incorporating it in the extruded products using horse gram, maize and rice as an ingredient.
