), and apamin etc. BV is safe for human treatments dose dependently and proven to possess different healing properties including antibacterial and antiparasitidal properties. Nevertheless, antiviral properties of BV have not well investigated. Hence, we identified the potential antiviral properties ...

Mast seeding involves the episodic and synchronous production of large seed crops by perennial plants. The predator satiation hypothesis proposes that mast seeding maximizes seed escape because seed predators consume a decreasing proportion of available seeds with increasing seed production. However...

Concern about the impact of pesticides on both health and environment has resulted in the search for alternative control measures for stored-product insect pest. Amongst such 'alternatives' are insect growth regulators (IGRs), a class of biorational compounds that disrupt the normal development of i...

Pesticides are commonly used in food crop production systems to control crop pests and diseases and ensure maximum yield with high market value. However, the accumulation of these chemical inputs in crop fields increases risks to biodiversity and human health. In addition, people are increasingly se...

The reactions of the primary water radicals with the biopolymer hyaluronic acid have been studied by pulse radiolysis. Bimolecular rate constants, expressed in terms of the disaccharide repeating sub-unit of hyaluronic acid, for OH., H. and eaq- were found to be 7 X 10(8) M-1 X s-1, 5 X 10(7) M-1 X ...
