This study investigates the immunological response of plant-based products (wheat and maize) infected by Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium expansum fungal species known to produce carcinogenic and anticonvulsant toxins. Lymphocyte and cytotoxicity assays were employed to assess the sensitivity and immune response of plant cells to these toxins. The assays measured cellular viability, immune reactions, and sensitivity through the lymphocytic response to fungal metabolites.

Density (ρ), viscosity (η) and refractive indices (n) of the binary mixture between 1,3-Dioxolane with pentanol. hexanol, heptanol, octanol, nonanol and decanol for the entire concentration range have been measured at 298.15K, furthermore, deviation in refractive indies from ideal mixture for this mixture has also been evaluated.The determination of light refractive index is an important step in the characterization of liquid mixtures with different industrial applications.

This study evaluated the impact of the oral cavity in patients with ventilatory support by endotracheal cannula in the intensive care unit, carrying out some microbiological techniques to analyze the existence of bacteria that can be found in the oral cavity and evaluate the oral conditions in the care of oral hygiene, by the way this allows to strengthen the interdependent strategies and interventions of nursing.

In Ethiopia, field pea (Pisumsativum L.) is the major source of protein for resource poor farmers. The development of varieties for yield and disease resistance is one of the important activities to support farmers and improve the productivity of the crop. Forty-nine field pea genotypes were evaluated in simple lattice design at Asasa in 2019 cropping season.

This paper shows how a public policy of restraint and domination of collective union actions—strike notices and strikes—was, on behalf of the State, generalized throughout Mexico by the Mexican labor regulatory institutions, the Local Conciliation and Arbitration Boards (Juntas Locales de Conciliación y Arbitraje, JLCA) and the Federal Conciliation and Arbitration Board (Junta Federal de Conciliación y Arbitraje, JFCA), during the last 10 years of the neoliberal period.

The development of biofuels from sustainable feedstocks has garnered significant scientific attention due to their potential to provide energy and alternative fuels. Cellulosic feedstock has gained attention as an attractive option for bioethanol production due to its greater ability to substitute fossil fuels and its relatively lower cost as a feedstock. With the help of a cellulolytic enzyme system, cellulose can be altered to glucose which is a multi-valued product, in a considerably economical and biologically favourable process.

In Ethiopia, field pea (Pisum sativum L.) is the main source of protein for resource poor growers. The improvement of varieties for yield and disease resistance is one of the important activities to support farmers and improve the productivity of the crop. Consequently, this study was showed to evaluate the genotypic correlations, phenotypic correlations and path coefficient analysis between the field pea genotypes for yield and yield associated traits. Forty-nine field pea genotypes were evaluated in simple lattice design at Asasa in 2019 cropping season.

Drying Curry leaf belongs to the Family Rutaceae, Genus Begera and Species Begera koenigii (Wikipedia, 2024). The botanical name is Bergera koenigii, but was once classed as Murraya koenigii. Curry leaf belongs to the Family Rutaceae, Genus Murraya and Species Murraya koenigii. Other names of curry leaf tree are curry plant, sweet neem, meethi neem, kadhi patta.

Yams belong to the Family Dioscoreaceae, Genus Dioscorea and Species Dioscorea alata L. The name "yam" appears to derive from Portuguese inhame or Canarian Spanish ñame, which derived from Fula, one of the West African languages during trade. The main derivations borrowed from verbs meaning "to eat". True yams have various common names across multiple world regions. Water yam, white yam, winged yam, greater yam=D. alata; air yam, air-potato, bitter yam=D. bulbifera; fiveleaf yam, five-leaved yam=D. pentaphylla; Chinese yam, cinnamon vine=D. polystachya; Zanzibar yam; West African yam=D.

Extracts from certain plants provide the colouring and binding matter for dyeing. The aim of this study of the dye plants used by craftsmen in the Congo is to characterise the chemical groups with dyeing potential. To achieve this, an ethnobotanical study based on interviews was used to identify the species used by Brazzaville artisans. The ethnobotanical survey of 56 artisans revealed that 38 plant species belonging to 26 botanical families provide various colours that can be used by these artisans.
