A novel process for CO capture by using sodium metaborate. Part I: effects of calcination.

This paper presents a comprehensive study on the carbonation of sodium metaborate (NaBO) and the synthesis of high added value chemicals via NaBO and carbon dioxide (CO). Carbon dioxide (CO) is a greenhouse gas and NaBO is a by-product of sodium borohydride (NaBH) hydrolysis reaction to produce H. Therefore their transformation into commercial chemicals is quite important in order to provide a mutual benefit to global warming issue and hydrogen economy.

Chewing lice (Phthiraptera) species on wild birds in Cappadocia region, Turkey.

Objective: This study was performed on 70 injured wild birds belonging to 7 different species in the Cappadocia region between 2005 and 2009. All birds were inspected for ectoparasites and 29 of 70 (41.4%) birds were found to be infested by at least one chewing louse species.

Pharmacokinetic of sulfisoxazole in aqueous humor after topical and subconjunctival application in dogs.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the ocular pharmacokinetic of sulfisoxazole. Male, 2-3 years old 10 mix breed dogs weighing 12-15 kg were used. A 2 mg dose/eye of sulfisoxazole was administrated to the animals by either subconjunctivally or by topically.

Eimeria stiedae: experimental infection in rabbits and the effect of treatment with toltrazuril and ivermectin.

The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical, haematological, biochemical, lipid peroxidation, ultrasonographic and pathologic findings in hepatic coccidiosis induced by Eimeria stiedae in rabbits, and also to compare the treatment effects of both toltrazuril and ivermectin separately and in combination. In this study, 56 rabbits were divided into eight groups. The first group was designated as healthy control group.
