Aims: The study of strains belonging to local rhizobial population, concerning their diversity in the genetic, metabolic and symbiotic properties, and their prevalence in the microsymbiont population. Methodology: 257 rhizobial isolates recovered from nodules of five pea (Pisum s...
The medical world is on an immense requirement to discover novel antibiotics due to widespread emergence of resistance among microbial pathogens against currently available antibiotics. Traditional plants have been proved to be better source in the search for novel antimicrobial...
Regenerative medicine is a multidisciplinary field concerned with the replacement, repair or restoration of injured tissues. This field emerged from the need for reconstruction in children and adults in whom tissue has been damaged by diseases, trauma and congenital anomalies. St...
The Butanolic soluble fraction (F3) of the leaves of Microtrichia perotitii DC was evaluated for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects on laboratory animals. The results of analgesic studies was dose dependent and showed significant inhibition of writhings in rats while tho...
Vanilmandelic acid (VMA) is a common excretory metabolite of the catecholamines. The catecholamines are implicated in schizophrenic disorders, and in the regulation of sexual functions via the Hypothalamic Pituitary Axis (HTPA). Alstonia boonei stem bark extract is used extensive...
Malaria is major public health problem in Uganda endemic in 95% contributing up to 40% of hospital outpatient attendances. Approaches to controlling the disease include; environmental, entomological and medicinal interventions. Some communities use medicinal plants to control the...
Background: Ovomucoid is a serine proteinase inhibitor in the egg whites of all avian species at a concentration of about 10 mg/ml. The involvement of proteinases in a multitude of control functions in an organism has created an interest in their physiological inhibitors. Regulat...

Aims: The study is aimed to examine the adsorptive characteristics of the main salivary protein, mucin onto Ti surfaces and compare the scientific data with that onto CaHap; towards elucidating the biocompatibility of these two candidates in biomedical applications. Place and Dur...
In this article in order to build up an efficient regeneration system for cotyledons or hypocotyls of tomato MicroTom, two kinds of seed disinfectant (3% NaClO and 0.1% HgCl2 used for 5, 10, 15, 20 min), two types of basal medium (MS: Murashige and Skoog，1964, and B5: Gamborg e...
A thorough knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of an industrial waste is a crucial requirement for any attempt at chemical and/or biological treatment of the waste. Hence the present study was aimed to assess the physicochemical characteristics and...
The reactions of arylidene derivatives such as ethylphenylmethylenemalononitrile 3a, ethylphenylmethylenecyanoacetate 3b and ethylphenylmethylenecyano-acetamide 3c with substituted thiobarbituric acids 2a-e in presence of NaOCH3 and MeOH afforded 7-amino-1,3-diaryl-5-phenyl-2-thi...
The meaning of Lorentz “local time” is reconsidered in the classical physics. Set up two inertial reference frames S and S', the frame S' is moving at a velocity v relative to frame S in the x direction. When the origin of frame S' passes the origin of frame S, the clocks at the...
Heat flow stability profiles in the presence of external thermal field require careful qualitative treatment. The computational data must be considered to agree with realistic models. A hexagonal plate endowed with the thermal and material properties of a pure metal was chosen as...
