Rhus coriaria induces senescence and autophagic cell death in breast cancer cells through a mechanism involving p38 and ERK1/2 activation
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2015 , Article)
Here, we investigated the anticancer effect of Rhus coriaria on three breast cancer cell lines. We demonstrated that Rhus coriaria ethanolic extract (RCE) inhibits the proliferation of these cell lines in a time- and ...
Natural Enemies of the Frankliniella Complex Species (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in Ataulfo Mango Agroecosystems
(
Oxford University Press
, 2015 , Article)
A field survey was conducted in Ataulfo mango (Mangifera indica L.) orchards in Chiapas, Mexico, with the objective of determining the natural enemies of the Frankliniella complex species (Thysanoptera: Thripidae). Seven ...
Collembola at three alpine subarctic sites resistant to twenty years of experimental warming
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2015 , Article)
This study examined the effects of micro-scale, site and 19 and 21 years of experimental warming on Collembola in three contrasting alpine subarctic plant communities (poor heath, rich meadow, wet meadow). Unexpectedly, ...
Kinetics and thermodynamics of enhanced adsorption of the dye AR 18 using activated carbons prepared from walnut and poplar woods
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Activated carbons prepared from walnut and poplar woods are used as economical adsorbents for the rapid removal and fast adsorption of Acid Red 18 dye from the aqueous solutions; the kinetics, isotherm and thermodynamics ...
Metal distribution in marine sediment along the Doha Bay, Qatar
(
Kluwer Academic Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
Concentrations of 25 heavy metals (Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Sr, V, Zn and Hg) in surface sediments along the Doha Bay from 10 transects each with five stations were ...
Selective removal of dibenzothiophene from commercial diesel using manganese dioxide-modified activated carbon: A kinetic study
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
With a total concentration of 7055 mgS/kgfuel, the content of organosulphur compounds (OSCs) in local diesel is 20 times higher than the regulated value. Analysis revealed that 30% of OSC is originated from dibenzothiophene ...
Influence of diesel acidification on dibenzothiophene removal: A new desulfurization practice
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Commercial diesel is often loaded with organosulphur compounds including hard-to-remove dibenzothiophene DBT and other derivatives. Following uncommon and simple procedure, dibenzothiophene was selectively removed upon ...
A novel desulfurization practice based on diesel acidification prior to activated carbon adsorption
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2015 , Article)
Commercial diesel is often rich with organosulfur compounds and a value of 7,100 mgS/kg was recently reported. As confirmed by chromatographic analysis, about 36% of sulfur compounds are originated from dibenzothiophene. ...
Insights into the remediation characterization of modified bentonite in minimizing organosulphur compounds from diesel fuel
(
Korean Society of Industrial Engineering Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
In this work, physical and chemical characteristics of the raw, treated, and acid activated bentonite were investigated using XRD, FTIR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and differential thermal analysis (DTA)/thermogravimetry ...
Evidence of two mechanisms involved in Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis decreased toxicity against mosquito larvae: Genome dynamic and toxins stability
(
Elsevier GmbH
, 2015 , Article)
Biopesticides based on Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis are the most used and most successful around the world. This bacterium is characterized by a dynamic genome able to win or lose genetic materials which leads to a ...
