Study and Optimization of Palm Wood Mechanical Properties by Alkalization of the Natural Fiber
Published In: GJSFR Part: C:Biological Science Volume: 14 Issue: 1
This Study is devoted to the characterization of mechanical properties of a date palm Wood fiber (DPF).We propose to measure mass loss, tensile strength, Young modulus and elongation at failure. The use of natural fibers requires specific chemical treatments to address mechanical performance due to water absorption. For this reason an alkaline (NaOH) treatment of different samples at dif...

Restoration of Degraded Lands through Plantation Forests
Published In: GJSFR Part: C:Biological Science Volume: 14 Issue: 1
Degradation of soil is a matter of serious concern. Vast area of land all over the world has been converted into unproductive and degraded lands. Eco-restoration through plantation forests is the most effective technique to reclaim the degraded ecosystem. Six dominant species viz, Dalbergia sissoo, Pongamia pinnata, Tectona grandis, Gmelina arborea, Azadirachta indica and Cassia siamea w...

Butterfly as Pollinating Insects of Flowering Plants
Published In: GJSFR Part: C:Biological Science Volume: 14 Issue: 1
The research showed that butterflies are the main pollinators of Ixora coccinea in Nambor Wild Life Sanctuary, Assam. The family of Papilionidae (6 species), Pieridae (3 species) and Nymphalidae (2 species) are mainly found as insect visitors. The time of the day had a significant effect on the number of butterflies that visited the flowers. Afternoons had more visitors than mornings sug...

Effect of Dietary Incorporation of Gliricidia Maculata Leaf Meal on Growth and Feed Utilization of Cirrhinus Mrigala Fingerlings
Published In: GJSFR Part: C:Biological Science Volume: 14 Issue: 1
An eight week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the potential of Gliricidia maculata leaf meal as dietary protein source in the diet of Cirrhinus mrigala fingerlings. Four experimental diets were formulated to contain 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% G. maculata leaf meal (Diets 1 – 4) to partially replace other protein ingredients in the C. mrigala diet. The diet containing ...

HIV-1 Matrix Protein p17 Initiates Virus Assembly
Published In: GJSFR Part: C:Biological Science Volume: 13 Issue: 7
HIV-1 matrix protein (MA) is the small multifunctional protein located on N terminus of Gag protein p55. MA posseses three transport signals: membranotropic, nucleophilic and the signal of nuclear export and functions in the cell as shuttle protein. MA is cleaved from Gag precursor by viral protease early in infection and is transported into the nuclei where it associates with viral RNA ...

Establishment of Regeneration Protocol for Canola (Brassica napus L.)
Published In: GJSFR Part: C:Biological Science Volume: 13 Issue: 7
The study was conducted with an aim of developing a genotype independent efficient in vitro regeneration system for Canola (Brassica napus L.) that is not grown in Bangladesh. Plant regeneration was achieved through embryogenic callus production from hypocotyls and cotyledonary leaves with petioles. The optimum medium for callus induction was found with 0.5 mgl-1 2, 4- dichlorophenoxyace...
