Efficacy of disinfectants and hand sanitizers against avian respiratory viruses     

Patnayak DP  Prasad AM  Malik YS  Ramakrishnan MA  Goyal SM 《Avian diseases》2008,52(2):199-202

Disinfectants play a major role in the control of animal diseases by decontaminating the farm environment. We evaluated the virucidal efficacy of nine commonly used disinfectants on a nonporous surface contaminated experimentally with avian metapneumovirus (aMPV), avian influenza virus, or Newcastle disease virus (NDV). Phenolic compounds and glutaraldehyde were found to be the most effective against all three viruses. Quaternary ammonium compounds were effective against aMPV but not against the other two viruses. In addition, efficacy of commercially available hand sanitizers was evaluated on human fingers contaminated with aMPV and NDV. All three hand sanitizers tested were found to be effective against both viruses within 1 min of application on fingers.  相似文献   

Rice Bran Oil: Emerging Trends in Extraction,Health Benefit,and Its Industrial Application     

Sneh Punia  Manoj Kumar  Anil Kumar Siroha  Sukhvinder Singh Purewal 《水稻科学》2021,28(3):217-232

Rice bran oil(RBO) is unique among edible vegetable oils because of its unique fatty acid composition, phenolic compound(γ-oryzanol, ferulic acid) and vitamin E(tocopherol and tocotrienol). It has become a great choice of cooking oil because of its very high burning point, neutral taste and delicate flavour. Non-conventional methods of RBO extraction are more efficient and environmentally friendly than conventional extraction methods. Advances in RBO extraction using innovative extraction strategies like super/sub-critical CO_2, microwave-assisted, subcritical H_2 O, enzyme-assisted aqueous and ultrasoundassisted aqueous extraction methods have proven to significantly improve the yields along with improved nutritional profile of RBO. The compositions and strategies for stabilization of RBO are well discussed. The constituents are present in the RBO contribute to antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antidiabetic and anti-cancerous properties to RBO. This has helped RBO to become an important substrate for the application in food(cooking oil, milk product and meat product) and non-food industries(polymer, lubricant, biofuel, structural lipid and cosmetic). This review provided comprehensive information on RBO extraction methods, oil stabilization, existing applications and health benefits.  相似文献

用10mmolL-1 硼酸处理Sensatinn芒果果实,日的在于了解硼酸时延缓成熟过程,尤其对延缓那些与成熟有关的生理变化是否有一定的作用。8d的成熟过程所观浏的结果表明.①硼酸处理的鲜果质量下降不如对照明显,果皮中叶绿素含量的变化也类似,②硼酸处理的果实中,果胶甲脂酶及多聚半乳糖醛酸酶的活性高于时照,且果胶甲酷酶的活性比多聚半乳糖醛酸酶的活性早2d达到峰值,⑧与对照相比较,硼酸能降低果实的呼吸作用,而时果肉的总糖含量没有影响。  相似文献

Muscle biochemical constituents of cultured amberjack <Emphasis Type="Italic">Seriola dumerili</Emphasis> and their influence on raw meat texture     

Dhirendra Prasad Thakur  Katsuji Morioka  Naoya Itoh  Mizuho Wada  Yoshiaki Itoh 《Fisheries Science》2009,75(6):1489-1498

The study was conducted to evaluate the meat texture, muscle proximate composition, lipid class composition, and collagen content of cultured amberjack and to compare these parameters with those of the yellowtail. Our results showed that the meat texture of cultured amberjack was tougher and had a lower degree of seasonality than that of cultured yellowtail. Muscle lipid and collagen content also varied in the two fish species over the study period. Meat breaking strength was not correlated with any of the muscle constituents, indicating that variations in the meat texture of cultured amberjack was not directly influenced by the changes in the muscle biochemical constituents.  相似文献   

Synergisms in Science: Climate Change and Integrated Pest Management Through the Lens of Communication—2019 Student Debates     

Jocelyn R Holt  Lina Bernaola  Kadie E Britt  Chirs McCullough  Morgan Roth  Jennie Wagner  Max Ragozzino  Leslie Aviles  Zhilin Li  Forest Huval  Manoj Pandey  Benjamin W Lee  Megan Asche  Abigail Hayes  Abigail Cohen  Adrian Marshall  Hannah E Quellhorst  Rachel V Wilkins  Valerie Nguyen  Jacqueline Maille  Rachel K Skinner  John J Ternest  Sarah Anderson  Scott W Gula  Kayleigh Hauri  Julius Eason  Megan Mulcahy  Scott Lee  James Michael Villegas  Patricia Shorter 《Journal of insect science (Online)》2020,20(5)

Every year, the Student Debates Subcommittee (SDS) of the Student Affairs Committee (SAC) for the annual Entomological Society of America (ESA) meeting organizes the Student Debates. This year, the SAC selected topics based on their synergistic effect or ability to ignite exponential positive change when addressed as a whole. For the 2019 Student Debates, the SAC SDS identified these topic areas for teams to debate and unbiased introduction speakers to address: 1) how to better communicate science to engage the public, particularly in the area of integrated pest management (IPM), 2) the influential impacts of climate change on agriculturally and medically relevant insect pests, and 3) sustainable agriculture techniques that promote the use of IPM to promote food security. Three unbiased introduction speakers gave a foundation for our audience to understand each debate topic, while each of six debate teams provided a strong case to support their stance or perspective on a topic. Debate teams submitted for a competitive spot for the annual ESA Student Debates and trained for the better part of a year to showcase their talents in presenting logical arguments for a particular topic. Both the debate teams and unbiased introduction speakers provided their insight toward a better understanding of the complexities of each topic and established a foundation to delve further into the topics of science advocacy and communication, climate change, and the many facets of integrated pest management.  相似文献   

Nodule study in Albizia chinensis in relation to nitrogen metabolism,morphology and biomass     

Vandana Kushawaha  Satya Prasad Chaukiyal 《林业研究》2020,31(1):57-63

Morphology,biomass,nitrate reductase(NR)and nitrogenase activity in Albizia chinensis(Osb.)Merr.nodules were assessed on monthly and seasonal basis for 1 year.Average NR and nitrogenase activity was higher during the rainy season,reaching a maximum in August.Thereafter,activity decreased through autumn and reached a minimum value during winter.Fresh and dry biomass of nodules increased gradually from summer to the rainy season and then started decreasing with the onset of winter as nodules began to senesce.Among four developmental stages of the nodules that correspond to their increasing age,NR and nitrogenase activity remained low in stage 1 nodules and peaked in stage 2.The activity of both enzymes further decreased with increasing age(stage 2 to stage 4).Morphological features such as shape,diameter and color varied considerably among the developmental stages.Stage 1 nodules were cream-colored,oval to heartshaped with smallest average diameter whereas at stage 2,they became bilobed to tetralobed.On the other hand,stage 3 nodules had the largest average diameter and were multilobed in structure.Stage 4 nodules that correspond to the senescing stage were dark brown to black,multilobed,flattened and hollow due to degeneration of nodular tissue.  相似文献   

Morphology of the diet in the gut of threatened yellow catfish <Emphasis Type="Italic">Horabagrus brachysoma</Emphasis> (Gunther 1864) at two life stages     

Prasad G  Anvar Ali PH 《Fish physiology and biochemistry》2008,34(4):385-389

The diet composition of fingerlings and adults of Horabagrus brachysoma, a threatened, freshwater catfish, endemic to South India, collected from the Periyar River of Kerala in south India was studied using standard methods. The results of the stomach content analysis revealed that the species is an omnivore, predominantly feeding on animal matter in the young stage and plant matter in the adult stage. Based on the findings of the present study, it can be concluded that H. brachysoma collected from Periyar River is a benthophagic omnivore and that adults prefer dietary fractions of plant origin over animal tissues. An ontogenic diet shift from carnivorous to more pronounced omnivorous nature is exhibited by the fish. The fish is adapted for a wide spectrum of feeding habits including the ability to digest all major types of nutrients and these findings will help to formulate a more economically viable and nutritionally balanced diet for the artificial rearing of this cultivable catfish.  相似文献
