The other additives that showed great decrease in aging are Solprene 1205 and Calprene 6120. Solprene 1205 seemed to be working well with the 64-22 binder and Calprene 6120 showed high reduction in aging with 67-22 binder. Frequency sweep tests were performed on the binders modified with antioxidant additives to learn about the impact of these additives on linear viscoelastic properties of the binders. The testing was done on both unaged and PAV aged samples. The frequency sweep test was done at 7 temperatures: 10,20,30, 40, 50, 60 and 70ºC and 10 frequencies at each temperature.
Antibacterial effectiveness test of chloramphenicol opthalmic hydrogel and eye drops against p. aeruginosa ATCC 9027 and s. pyogenes ATCC 19615 The purpose of the stage was to compare the effectiveness of antibacterial preparations in the form of hydrogel chloramphenicol against the form of eye drops. The testing was done by the method of diffusion in order. Testing conducted during storage days in 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, 21, and
for the determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the active extract. The sStarting solutions of the tested extract were obtained by dissolving it in 5% dimethyl-sulphoxide. STwo fold serial dilutions twofold dilutions of the extract were made within a concentration range from 0.04 to 40 mg/mL in sterile 96-well plates containing Mueller–Hinton broth for bacterial cultures and a Sabouraud Dextrose SD broth for fungal cultures. Resazurin solution was added as an indicator to each well. and finally, to each well fungal or bacterial suspension was added .
Both ethanol and acetic acid possess antimicrobial properties and thereby act against pathogenic bacteria and prevents contamination of the tea fungus (Liu et al., 1996). The glucose is polymerized by bacteria and produces cellulose and hemi- cellulose (Greenwalt et al.,
Poison ivy, oak, and sumac contain an oil called urushiol which is readily absorbed through the skin and elicits dermatitis. Poison ivy, oak, and sumac are extremely common sources of dermatitis rashes that affect people from every age group; although, sensitivity can decrease with age. The reason for this is its ability to elicit an allergic reaction in the skin which is caused by the oily resin urushiol. Armstrong and Epstein state that it only takes 50 micrograms of urushiol to cause a reaction in most people. This is about the same amount as a grain of salt.
Mechanism of action of TTO Tea tree oil is the volatile essential oil derived mainly from the Australian native plant, Melaleuca alternifolia. It is composed of terpene hydrocarbons, mainly monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes and their associated alcohols which are volatile, aromatic hydrocarbons[29]. Antibacterial activity of this essential oil has been discussed in the literature since 1940s[30-33] however, its appearance in the scientific literature started in the early 1990s[29]. Antimicrobial activity of tea tree oil is due to terpinen‑4‑ol, α‑terpineol and 1,8‑, which cause leakage of 260 nm‑light absorbing material and render cells susceptible to sodium chloride[34]. Thus, tea tree oil causes lysis and the loss of membrane integrity and function manifested by the leakage of ions and the inhibition of respiration.
The hydroquinone metabolite purified from B. methylotrophicus MHC10 was evaluated for its antibacterial activity against a panel of several Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. The zone of inhibition was used to evaluate the antagonistic activity of the metabolite. The standard antibiotics Ampicillin and Gentamycin were used as the positive control. Both antibiotics showed high antagonistic activity against all test pathogens. But in the case of P. aeruginosa, the hydroquinone treatment showed little high zone of inhibition than ampicillin Lee et al., [85] studied the antimicrobial activities of the purified prodigiosin and cycloprodigiosin against B. subtilis KCTC 1914, E. coli KCTC 1924, Salmonella typhimurium KCTC 1926, S.
For analgesic activity aspirin and for anti-inflammatory activities diclofenac was used as standard drugs. It was found that petroleum ether extract showed significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. Further it was reported that the steroids and flavonoids in petroleum ether extract of Phaseolus vulgaris Linn., seeds are responsible for the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities[3]. Antimutagenic activity For the experiment with the bean extract, a dose of 300 mg/plate of Ellagic acid (EA) was chosen as the antimutagenic control. Both EA and bean extracts were found to be non-toxic to the bacteria at the concentrations tested.
Ethephon (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid) among ripeners as plant growth regulator indicated good potential to control flowering (Li and Solomon, 2003). Studies showed that application of ethephon not only suppress flowering but also increase sugar yield in sugarcane (Moore and Osgood, 1989; Humm, 2001). However, there is no report of the ethephon application on sweet sorghum as a flower inhibitor in Iran. Even though, sweet sorghum is seen as a potential cash crop in arid and semi-arid regions of Middle East, but more information on management practices on sugar yield, nutrient requirement and biomass production of this crop
Water thoroughly, and mulch the soil’s surface with at least 2 inches of acidic mulch such as wood chips. Cut back to ground level all but the two most vigorous upright shoots. BLUEBERRIES AT A GLANCE In addition to choosing a type of blueberry that suits your climate, plan to grow at least three plants of different yet compatible varieties. Local nurseries may offer ensembles of compatible varieties within the same species group. catalogs.
