Anaerobic treatment of undiluted cow dung (15% total solids), so-called dry fermentation, produced hydrogen (743 ml-H(2)/kg-cow dung) at an optimum temperature of 60 degrees C, with butyrate and acetate formation. The hydrogen production was inhibited by the addition of NH(4)(+) in a dose-dependent manner. A bacterium with similarity to Clostridium cellulosi was detected in the fermented dung by a 16S rDNA analysis.

Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a fast and reliable nanoparticle recovery method that utilizes nonuniform electric fields to manipulate particles based on their material composition and size, enabling recovery of biologically-derived nanoparticles from plasma for diagnostic applications. When applying DEP to undiluted human plasma, collection of endogenous albumin proteins was observed at electric field gradients much lower than predicted by theory to collect molecular proteins. To understand this collection, nanoparticle tracking analysis of bovine serum albumin (BSA) dissolved in 0.

A novel, label-free, ultra-selective, reproducible, and reversible pH nanobiosensor was developed for analyzing biofluids, food samples, and real water media utilizing a novel activated-protein-protected gold nanocluster with an ultra-narrow emission band, termed as ABSA-AuNCs. The ABSA-AuNCs were synthesized via a novel ultrasonication-protein-assisted procedure, for the first time, using activated bovine serum albumin as both capping and reducing agents. The ABSA-AuNCs revealed a highly narrow symmetric emission spectrum (λ = 330.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate dentin wear and biological performance of desensitizing materials.
Methods: Seventy bovine root dentin blocks were sectioned. Half of the surface of each specimen was untreated (control) and the other half was immersed in EDTA and treated with the following desensitizing materials: placebo varnish (PLA), fluoride varnish (FLU), sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish + sodium trimetaphosphate (TMP), universal adhesive (SBU), S-PRG varnish (SPRG), biosilicate (BIOS), and amelotin solution (AMTN).

Detecting progesterone (P4) concentration in cow serum is essential for monitoring the pregnancy progress after fertilization and is significant for the dairy farming industry and veterinary medicine. This study reports enzyme-free immunomagnetic beads (IMBs)-based competitive immunoassay for detecting P4 by P4-bovine serum albumin (BSA)-modified biosensors. The anti-P4 antibody-conjugated IMBs serve as collectors to capture P4 in undiluted serum samples to prevent the biosensor surface from biosample contamination and as insulated labels to report the electron-transfer resistance signal of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement.

Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a useful biomarker for identifying ovulation events in the cows to predict the time of ovulation to achieve a high success rate of conception following artificial insemination. Although antibody-based radioimmunoassay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay are being used for LH measurement, these techniques are expensive, time-consuming, and require expertise and sophisticated laboratory facilities. So, there is a need for a field-applicable, affordable, easy-to-use method for LH detection.
