Commercial Initiation of Feather Hydrolysate as Supreme Fertilizer: A Smart Bio-Cleaning Strategy of Poultry Waste.

Purpose: Economic development of India mainly depends on agricultural sectors. The Indian traditional agricultural system is mainly based on chemical fertilizer to get better yield. The main motto of this research work is to change the traditional faith of Indian farmers and rural Indian economy.

An assessment of the impact of 1.5 versus 2 and 2.5°C global temperature increase on flooding in Jamaica: a case study from the Hope watershed.

Climate change models project that, within the Caribbean basin, rainfall intensity is likely to increase toward the end of this century, although the region is projected to be drier overall. This may affect the frequency and severity of floods in Jamaica and the Caribbean Small Island Developing States. We investigate how flood hazards may be affected by increases in global mean surface temperature of 1.

Topological delocalization and tuning of surface channel separation in BiSeTe Topological Insulator Thin films.

The surface states of a 3D topological insulator (TI) exhibit topological protection against backscattering. However, the contribution of bulk electrons to the transport data is an impediment to the topological protection of surface states. We report the tuning of the chemical potential in the bulk in BiSeTe TI thin films, pinning it near the center of the bulk band gap, thereby suppressing the bulk carriers.

Polarization-Tailored Fano Interference in Plasmonic Crystals: A Mueller Matrix Model of Anisotropic Fano Resonance.

Fano resonance is observed in a wide range of micro- and nano-optical systems and has been a subject of intensive investigations due to its numerous potential applications. Methods that can control or modulate Fano resonance by tuning some experimentally accessible parameters are highly desirable for realistic applications. Here we present a simple yet elegant approach using the Mueller matrix formalism for controlling the Fano interference effect and engineering the resulting asymmetric spectral line shape in an anisotropic optical system.

Enzymatic hydrolyzed feather peptide, a welcoming drug for multiple-antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: structural analysis and characterization.

This study aimed to explore the bactericidal activity of a feather-degraded active peptide against multiple-antibiotic-resistant (MAR) Staphylococcus aureus. An antibacterial peptide (ABP) was isolated from the chicken feathers containing fermented media of Paenibacillus woosongensis TKB2, a keratinolytic soil isolate. It was purified by HPLC, and its mass was found to be 4666.

Production of chitin and bioactive materials from Black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) shell waste by the treatment of bacterial protease cocktail.

The main objective of this study was to obtain chitin in pure form from a new crustacean waste material for industrial applications. Black tiger shrimp shell wastes are a rich source of protein and valuable bioactive carbohydrate polymers such as chitin. After removal of carotenoid, Black tiger shrimp shell wastes (BTSHWs) were treated with chemicals and protease enzyme to extract chitin.

Therapeutic potential of different commercially available synbiotic on acetaminophen-induced uremic rats.

Background: Currently kidney disease appears a foremost problem across the world. Acetaminophen is a commonly used antipyretic agent, which in high doses, causes uremia and used for experimentally induction of kidney disease. Bacteriotherapy affords a promising approach to mitigate uremic toxins by ingestion of urease positive bacteria, probiotics and symbiotic able to catabolize uremic solutes within the gut.

Analysis of phytochemical profile of Terminalia arjuna bark extract with antioxidative and antimicrobial properties.

Objective: To investigate phytochemical screening, antimicrobial activity and qualitative thin layer chromatographic separation of flavonoid components, antioxidant activity and total flavonoid compound of Terminalia arjuna.

Methods: For phytochemical screening, some common and available standard tests were done. Antimicrobial bioassay was done through agar well diffusion method.

Attenuation of uremia by orally feeding alpha-lipoic acid on acetaminophen induced uremic rats.

Uremia means excess nitrogenous waste products in the blood & their toxic effects. An acute acetaminophen (paracetamol, N-acetyl p-aminophenol; APAP) overdose may result into potentially fatal hepatic and renal necrosis in humans and experimental animals. The aims of this present study were to investigate the protective effect of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) on oxidative stress & uremia on male albino rats induced by acetaminophen.

Effect of newly isolated Lactobacillus ingluviei ADK10, from chicken intestinal tract on acetaminophen induced oxidative stress in Wistar rats.

The total antioxidative activity of L. ingluviei ADK10 isolated from chicken intestine intact cells and cell free culture supernatant (CFCS) was 54- 67.95%.

In vivo assessment of bacteriotherapy on acetaminophen-induced uremic rats.

Objectives: Acetaminophen is a commonly used antipyretic agent which, at high doses, causes renal tubular damage and uremia. Bacteriotherapy affords a promising approach to mitigating uremic intoxication by ingestion of live microbes able to catabolize uremic solutes in the gut. The present study evaluates the nonpathogenic soil-borne urease-positive bacterium Sporosarcina pasteurii (Sp) as a potential urea-targeted component for such an "enteric dialysis" formulation.
