The concept of benefit-sharing is emerging in the international discourse on transboundary water resource management with greater intensity than a decade ago.While it sounds simple, the concept is complex and benefits are difficult to quantify and thus the concept remains unconvincing to potentially sceptical negotiating partners.Any Brushes discou
Influence of Microbes in Mediating Sorghum Resistance to Sugarcane Aphids
Gut microbiomes profoundly influence insect health and mediate interactions between plant hosts and their environments.Insects, including aphids, harbour diverse obligate symbionts that synthesize essential nutrients and facultative symbionts that enhance host fitness in specific ecological contexts.Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is a significant cereal
Immobilization of Peroxidase onto Magnetite Modified Polyaniline
The present study describes the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) on magnetite-modified polyaniline (PANImG) activated with glutaraldehyde.After the optimization of the methodology, the immobilization of HRP on PANImG produced the same yield (25%) Kids Cup obtained for PANIG with an efficiency of 100% (active protein).The optimum pH fo
Innovativeness in tradition: a study on the physical performance of leather scale armors during the Joseon Dynasty
Abstract During the Joseon Dynasty, light and convenient leather armors were developed to replace metal armors, which were heavy and difficult to manufacture.Leather armors allowed easy movement of the troops and, because arrows were the primary weapons at the time, provided them with protection.The excellent performance of leather armors can be at
Cavity disinfection in minimally invasive dentistry - comparative evaluation of Aloe vera and propolis: A randomized clinical trial
Context: The survival of atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) restorations would probably increase if near total elimination of cariogenic microorganisms could be done in the process of cavity cleaning before going ahead with the restoration.Thus, use of naturally occurring disinfecting agents for achieving this goal could herald a new beginning
