Mineral elements (Ca, Na, K, Mg, Zn, Ti, Sr, Fe, Ni, Ba, Cr, Mn, Cu, Se, Cd, Mo, B, V, As, Pb and Hg) in Provola cheeses obtained from dairy cows fed with two different integrated diets (Biotrak) and without olive cake (Control) were determined to discriminate between the two different cheeses. The ...

Sulfamethazine (SMZ) is one of the antibiotics frequently found with low concentrations in water bodies including drinking water sources and foodstuffs contamination, which affects the environmental ecosystem and humans. Therefore, the detection of SMZ is necessary to protect the biosphere. This...

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of boron and nanoboron" on histomorphology of the small intestine in layer chickens. 210 day-old chicks were used and were randomly assigned to seven equal groups. The experiment, groups were exposed to both normal boron and nano-boron as follows:G1...

Here, fluorescent artificial antibodies for sensing ovalbumin in food were synthesized by molecular imprinting technique in a microfluidic reactor. A phenylboronic acid-functionalized silane was employed as the functional monomer to enable the polymer has pH-responsive property. Fluorescent...

In order to explore the trace element composition characteristics of Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis, the composition and distribution of trace elements in 17 statoliths of S. oualaniensis collected in the Nansha islands waters of the South China Sea during March to May by light falling-net vessels in...

Boron (B) has been linked to a variety of physiological activities, and the World Health Organization considers it essential for both animal and human health. Therefore, this study was implemented to judge the safe use of B at the current dose on the growth, immunity, and blood calcium and...

In this study, a novel hybrid boron-doped titanium oxide-coated waste mussel shell (B-TiO₂/shell) composite with good visible absorption was synthesized via hydrothermal method. The B-TiO₂/shell exhibited a higher photocatalytic oxidation efficiency of X-3B than that of naked B-TiO₂ under visible...

This paper presents the results of a study conducted to determine the fatty acid and mineral element composition of Narbon vetch (Vicia narbonensis) lines to establish nutritional value for breeders and producers. The total saturated fatty acids (TSFAs) of the seeds of V. narbonensis lines were...

This study aimed to determine the effects of boron fed alone or with yeast culture or liquid humate on ruminal pH, ammonia-N, short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) concentration, protozoa counts and some nutrients' apparent digestibility in yearling rams. Therefore, four Merino rams were allocated to 4×4...

(1) Background: accelerator-based neutron sources are a new frontier for BNCT but many technical issues remain. We aimed to study such issues and results in larger-animal BNCT (cats and dogs) with naturally occurring, malignant tumors in different locations as an intermediate step in translating...
