Abstract This study was to assess the effects of deltamethrin on some haematological parameters of brown trout (Salmo trutta fario). During the 4 day, 10 brown trout were exposed to two different concentrations of Deltamethrin which they were 20% (0.91 g·L-1) and 40% (1.88 g·L-1) respectively, (LC50=4.7 g·L-1). The results obtained from this study showed … Read more

Aims of the study 1) Examination and quantification of environmental samples from piggeries for the presence of mycobacteria. To develop and apply DNA and rRNA-based methods for the detection of potentially hazardous mycobacteria in the piggery environment. 2) Sequencing (16S rDNA) and typing (RFLP, MIRU-VNTR) of the mycobacterial isolates from porcine origin and compared them … Read more

Agricultural practices have changed dramatically over the last century. The introduction of machinery, genetic modification, growth hormones, pesticides and the push to make more food, more efficiently, has caused the once nostalgic and cultivative practice of agriculture into one that is industrialized, destructive, and unnatural. The United States and the European Union have both become … Read more

Abstract A sample was swabbed from a bike stand in front of George Lynn Cross Hall at the University of Oklahoma and environmentally streaked onto a tryptic soy agar plate. Following incubation at 37C, a distinct colony type was isolated from the TSA plates and sub-cultured to obtain a pure culture. Analysis of the isolate’s … Read more

Air temperature is an important meteorological variable for understanding the physics of land surface processes. This variable is commonly used to monitor vegetation water stress, assess the surface energy balance, estimate precipitation and crop yields and to derive daily evaporation and soil moisture distribution over large areas (Lagouarde 1991; Rugege 2002; Taconet et al. 1986). … Read more
