Involvement of oxidative stress and growth at high cell density in the viable but nonculturable state of Photorhabdus temperata ssp. temperata strain K122
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2010 , Article)
Photorhabdus temperata ssp. temperata strain K122 represents a promising source of bioinsecticide. When cultured in an optimized medium, P. temperata exhibited restricted survival in terms of colony-forming ability on solid ...
Cyclic AMP-Rap1A signaling activates RhoA to induce α2c-adrenoceptor translocation to the cell surface of microvascular smooth muscle cells
(
American Physiological Society
, 2012 , Article)
Intracellular signaling by the second messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP) activates the Ras-related small GTPase Rap1 through the guanine exchange factor Epac. This activation leads to effector protein interactions, activation, ...
Cry4Ba and Cyt1Aa proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis: Interactions and Toxicity mechanism against Aedes aegypti
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Individual crystal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis exhibit variable levels of insecticidal activities against mosquito larvae. In all cases, they are much less active compared to the whole crystal proteins ...
Anti-atherosclerotic plants which modulate the phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of global death, with atherosclerosis being a major contributor to this mortality. Several mechanisms are implicated in the pathogenesis of this disease. ...
Effect of temperature on the growth, survival, development and foraging behaviour of Sardina pilchardus larvae
(
Inter-Research
, 2016 , Article)
The effect of water temperature on the growth, survival, development and foragin behaviour of European sardine Sardina pilchardus larvae was examined in the laboratory. First the capability of early sardine larvae to cope ...
Multivariate analysis of competitive adsorption of food dyes by activated pine wood
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2016 , Article)
In this work, competitive adsorption of four food dyes (Sunset Yellow, Allura Red, tartrazine, and Brilliant Black) by heated pine wood is studied using multivariate calibration. Partial least squares PLS1 and principal ...
Activation of kaolin with minimum solvent consumption by microwave heating
(
Mineralogical Society
, 2014 , Article)
A kaolin clay was activated with 1.0 M H2SO4 solution at minimum liquid to solid ratio (L/S) using microwave heating. The optimum experimental conditions for activation were L/S ratio 3.0 mL 1 M H2SO4 per gram kaolin, ...
Uptake of Reactive Black 5 by pumice and walnut activated carbon: Chemistry and adsorption mechanisms
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
The potential of using pumice and walnut wood activated carbon as low-cost adsorbents for the removal of the diazo dye Reactive Black 5 (RB5) from aqueous solutions was investigated. The Langmuir isotherm fit to the data ...
Volatility transmission across currencies and commodities with US uncertainty measures
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
This paper uses the Multi-chain Markov Switching model (MCMS) conditioned on US uncertainty measures (VIX, VIX-oil and FSI) to examine the patterns of volatility transmission across the resource, major and safe haven ...
Correlation between synthesis variation of 2-alkylquinolones and the antifungal activity of aBurkholderia cepacia strain collection
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2012 , Article)
Twenty epiphytic and rhizospheric bacterial strains harbouring strong antifungal activities were isolated from the Tunisian environment. This group of bacteria was identified as Burkholderia cepacia genomovar I using 16S ...
