A different study found that zinc nanofertilizers enhanced photosynthesis rate in maize crops, measured through soluble carbohydrate concentration, likely as a result of the role of zinc in the photosynthesis process. [12] Much work needs to be done in the future to make nanofertilizers a consistent, viable alternative to conventional fertilizers.
Biofertilizers work through multiple mechanisms. Plant-growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and mycorrhizae are generally thought to increase the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen , [ 17 ] convert inorganic phosphorus compounds into soluble forms, increase the bioavailability of minerals in the soil, [ 18 ] and synthesize phytohormones that ...
The rabbit test became a widely used bioassay (animal-based test) to test for pregnancy. The term "rabbit test" was first recorded in 1949, and was the origin of a common euphemism, "the rabbit died", for a positive pregnancy test. [4] The phrase was, in fact, based on a common misconception about the test.
The effect of pregnancy on platelet count is unclear, with some studies demonstrating a mild decline in platelet count and other studies that show no effect. [24] The white blood cell count increases with occasional appearance of myelocytes or metamyelocytes in the blood. [24] During labor, there is a rise in leukocyte count.
A Florida woman who disappeared six months ago was found on Feb. 12 after she gave birth on a crowded New York City subway train.
An Ohio law requiring fetal remains to be buried or cremated is unconstitutional under the state's abortion rights amendment, a judge ruled Thursday.
The goal here is increase blood flow while still allowing your body to recover, so aim for "Zone 2" cardio, which is roughly 60 to 70 percent of your maximum heart rate. (A fitness tracker can ...
Nevertheless, a lot of work is still ongoing to optimize and better understand the potential and limitations of nanoparticulate systems. While advancement of research proves that targeting and distribution can be augmented by nanoparticles, the dangers of nanotoxicity become an important next step in further understanding of their medical uses ...
