This study investigated trace essential metals (Cu, Zn and Cr) and non-essential metals (Pb, Cd and Hg) in water, sediment and tissues of water spinach, snake head fish and swamp eel from the Saigon River. Sampling was conducted from January to December 2004 at three sites. Three water and sediment samples, edible parts of twenty water spinach (Ipomea aquatica) samples (leaves and stems), twenty snake head fish (Channa striata) and twenty swamp eels (Monopterus albus) were collected at each site.

The main findings of the study were that: (1) Goats fed Bauhinia acuminata responded with improved diet digestibility, N retention and growth rate when the Bauhinia acuminata was supplemented with water spinach; (2) However an important negative effect was that the improvement in diet digestibility by supplementation with water spinach led to increases in methane production per unit diet DM digested; (3) Supplementing Bauhinia acuminata foliage with leaves from a bitter variety of cassava reduced the in vitro production of methane when compared with supplementation by leaves from a sweet va...

The main findings of the study were that (i) gas production and methane content of the gas were reduced when ensiled cassava root replaced the dried cassava root as a carbohydrate source, and when cassava leaf meal replaced water spinach meal as a protein source; (ii) Adding brewers’ grains at 5% dry matter (DM) to the diet of ensiled cassava root supplemented with either cassava foliage or water spinach as the main protein source increased DM feed intake...

The main objective of this study was to examine the efficacy and capacity of using hydroponic systems in municipal pollutant removal at household scale. Three pilot scaled hydroponic systems [dimension for each system: 4.5 m (L) x Φ 114 mm] were installed to investigate the optimal age of vegetable, planting density and retention time for household wastewater treatment, respectively.

This is the basis for the choice of soil treatment, irrigable water or the choice of plants with capacity of absorbing the desired metal to clean up arable land. Moreover, because it costs much money and time to handle soil, water in current conditions, we envisage the results of this kind of research will initially provide the basis for the selection of plant varieties suitable for the soil conditions and current pollution.

The wind escorts the moon; the moon escorts the wind. When the moon sets, who can the wind be with? The wind nudges the moonlit flowers. You keep the bud, Miss, but the blossom is mine. The wind nudges the water spinach and shallot. It is a shame you have no father.

To elucidate the domains on the extrinsic 23 kDa protein involved inelectrostatic interactionwiththeextrinsic33 kDa protein in spinach photosystem II, we modified amino or carboxyl groups ofthe 23 kDa protein to unchargedmethyl ester groups with N-succinimidyl propionate or glycine methyl ester in the presence ofa water-soluble carbodi-imide, respectively.TheN-succinimidyl propionate-modified 23 kDa protein did not bind to the 33 kDa protein associ-atedwithPSIImembranes, whereas the glycinemethyl ester-modified 23 kDa protein completely bound. ...

Most foods contain some folate. The highest concentrations are found in liver, yeast, spinach, other greens, and nuts (100 µg/100 g). The total folate content of an average Western diet is ~250 µg daily, but the amount varies widely according to the type of food eaten and the method of cooking. Folate is easily destroyed by heating, particularly in large volumes of water. Total-body folate in the adult is ~10 mg, the liver containing the largest store. Daily adult requirements are ~100 µg, so stores are only sufficient for 3–4 months in normal adults and severe folate deficiency may...
