Assessment of Zinc and Sulphur Solubilizing Plant Growth Promoting Organisms for Potential Use for Lipid Hydrolysis and Cellulose Degradation in Compost for Enhanced Food Quality

The use of zinc and Sulphur solubilizing bacteria to improve compost will help in the mineralization of these vital elements during its production process.Hence, the objective of this paper was to evaluate the assessment of the ability of some plant growth promoting bacteria to solubilize zinc and sulphur and hydrolyze starch and lipid and degrade

Incorporating Epistemic Uncertainties in Ship Operability Study

Ship operability diagrams are commonly defined based on the seakeeping analysis, showing which course and speed can safely be taken at the sea state to satisfy pre-defined seakeeping limiting values.Although ship operability diagrams are inherently probabilistic, because of the random nature of the environmental loads, their outcome is deterministi

Development and Validation of a P-35S, T-nos, T-35S and P-FMV Tetraplex Real-time PCR Screening Method to Detect Regulatory Genes of Genetically Modified Organisms in Food

In routine analysis screening methods based on real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) are most commonly used for the detection of genetically modified (GM) plant material in food and feed.Screening tests are based on sequences frequently used for GM development, allowing the detection of a large number of GMOs (genetically modified organisms).He
