Uptake of the non-essential element, lead (Pb), by 7-days-old Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings caused inhibition of root growth. Pb accumulated mainly in the root and only a small proportion of the total uptake was transported to the shoot. At the ultrastructural level, Pb was localized mainly in the cell walls, intercellular spaces and vacuoles, whi

Hybrid airship is an unconventional type of airship being developed since a few decades ago and is now being tried on a significant scale. In this paper, the preliminary design steps of a winged hull hybrid airship will be outlined and discussed together with a way to achieve controllability of the hybrid airship during both STOL (Short take off an

The objective of the study is to investigate two of the human capital factors, such as basic skills and professional competencies, supported by behavioural and expertise literatures, in the context of financial reporting quality. Thus, to investigate the background of audit committees from three aspects of experts, such as: the accounting affiliate

This paper principally presents a process analysis of the production systems of blast furnace cement (BFC) based on exergy analysis and its carbon dioxide emission. The analysis was first carried out by using exergy balances of actual operating data in the cement industry. The results revealed that a large sum of net exergy losses was found on the

This paper is based on reviews of literatures on sociology of profession. The paper argues that the concept ‘actors’ has only narrowly mapped the Western literatures related to professionalization of occupations. Such a narrow conception of ‘actor’ in many ways only reflects a convergence of the Western concerns and context and never gives

This study was carried out to isolate the active antibacterial compounds from marine sponge Neopetrosiaexigua. Using disc diffusion methodm methanol extract of N. exigua showed significant antibacterial activity (The inhibition zone against Staphylococcus aureus was 19.5 mm). sequesntially, liquid-liquid extraction was performed using solvenants wi

This study was carried out to isolate the active antibacterial compounds from marine sponge Neopetrosiaexigua. Using disc diffusion method, methanol extract of N. exigua showed a significantantibacterial activity. Sequentially, liquid-liquid extraction was performed using different polarity solvents ( n-hexane, carbon tetrachloride, dichloromethane

“Profession” and “professionalization” are much-debated sociological concepts and the criteria which distinguish professions from other occupations have been strongly contested. Professionalization is a process of occupational change or development that involves the enhancement of the standard and quality of practice, as well as of the stat

The fundamental marketing practices, that have driven the teaching and practice of marketing, have evolved from their early beginnings to today, where societal marketing has been advanced as a concept that should drive marketing practices. There is, under contemporary circumstances, a need to reexamine the fundamental concepts on which present mark
