Assessment of urban greenhouse gas emissions towards reduction planning and low-carbon city: a case study of Montreal, Canada

Author(s): Shadnoush Pashaei

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) can be produced from a broad range of anthropogenic activities at different spatial and temporal scales. In particular, emissions from urban area are an import source of GHGs. City is a complicated system consisting of various component and processes. Efforts have been made to reduce urban GHG emissions. However, there is a lack of ...

New Megastigmane and Polyphenolic Components of Henna Leaves and Their Tumor-Specific Cytotoxicity on Human Oral Squamous Carcinoma Cell Lines

Author(s): Orabi MAA; Orabi EA; Awadh AAA; Alshahrani MM; Abdel-Wahab BA; Sakagami H; Hatano T;

Polyphenols have a variety of phenolic hydroxyl and carbonyl functionalities that enable them to scavenge many oxidants, thereby preserving the human redox balance and preventing a number of oxidative stress-related chronic degenerative diseases. In our ongoing investigation of polyphenol-rich plants in search of novel molecules, we resumed the investigat ...

Effects of cabergoline and dimethylcabergoline on the sexual behavior of male rats

Author(s): Pfaus JG; Antonie RA; Dosa PI; Kim SW;

Rationale: Cabergoline (CAB) is an ergot derivative typically prescribed for the treatment of hyperprolactinemia. It suppresses the release of prolactin through agonist actions on dopamine (DA) D2 receptors; however, it possesses binding affinity for other DA and 5-HT receptors. Side effects that exacerbate valvular heart disease can occur with high doses ...

Assessment of landfill gas storage and application regarding energy management: A case study in the province of Quebec, Canada

Author(s): Malmir T; Héroux M; Lagos D; Eicker U;

Landfills are extensively applied to dispose of municipal solid wastes in developed and developing countries. Landfill gas generation from biodegradable organic wastes can be collected and converted to energy. When the gas collection system is shutdown, some of this gas can accumulate and be stored inside the landfill. Using the gas storage capacity of th ...

Trabecular Bone Score Preceding and during a 2-Year Follow-Up after Sleeve Gastrectomy: Pitfalls and New Insights

Author(s): Joshua Stokar

Bariatric surgery (BS) can have negative effects on bone health. Bone microarchitecture quality evaluation using the trabecular bone score (TBS) has not been described in patients after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). To test the hypothesis that the TBS is clinically useful for this population, we evaluated changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and the TBS in a ...

New metabolic signature for Chagas disease reveals sex steroid perturbation in humans and mice

Author(s): Golizeh M; Nam J; Chatelain E; Jackson Y; Ohlund LB; Rasoolizadeh A; Camargo FV; Mahrouche L; Furtos A; Sleno L; Ndao M;

The causative agent of Chagas disease (CD), Trypanosoma cruzi, claims thousands of lives each year. Current diagnostic tools are insufficient to ensure parasitological detection in chronically infected patients has been achieved. A host-derived metabolic signature able to distinguish CD patients ...

Lignocellulolytic enzymes from Aspergillus allahabadii for efficient bioconversion of rice straw into fermentable sugars and biogas

Author(s): Sharma G; Kaur B; Raheja Y; Agrawal D; Basotra N; Di Falco M; Tsang A; Singh Chadha B;

The study was aimed at developing lignocellulolytic strain capable of efficient hydrolysis of mild alkali deacetylated (MAD) rice straw. The valorisation of lignin rich black liquor obtained during pre-treatment of rice straw into biogas was also evaluated. Study reports highly proficient cellulolytic Aspergillus allahabadii strain harbouring a spectrum o ...
