Cacao Seeds as Regulator of Angiogenesis in Duck Embryos

This research was conducted to determine the ability of “cacao” (Theobroma cacao) seed nicotinamide component to regulate angiogenesis or process of blood vessel formation in duck embryos. Abnormalities in angiogenesis are linked to the development…

Antibacterial and Antifungal Activity of Lato

The fact that 25% of prescribed pharmaceuticals are derived from plants demonstrates the enduring importance of natural products. Marine organisms may be tapped as new sources of natural substances, which can be developed to combat…

Potential Use of Oyster Shells in Ceramic Production

This study focused on the possibility of replacing silica in ceramic production with oyster shells. Powdered oyster shells were used instead of silica in the production of ceramics. The texture, color and durability of the…

Basidiomycetous Mycelial Isolates as Compost Inoculant

Screening of basidiomycetous mycelial isolates as compost inoculant. One practical way to dispose wastes is thru bio-conversion into composts using basidiomycetous fungi which degrade the wastes into simpler compounds and bring back the nutrients to…

Plants Extracts as Control Agents of Braconid

Selected Plants Extracts as Control Agents of Braconid sp. Corcyra cephalonica Stn. is used as a fastidious host in the production of Trichogramma sp. It is a stored grain pest with the common name rice…

Spirulina Platensis: Potential Biosorbent for Lead

Heavy metal contamination is one of the problems encountered by industrialized countries due to its harmful implications. At present, biosorption, a biological method in removing heavy metal ions, is deemed as an inexpensive and effective…

Arresting Microbes with Sea Urchin

Sea urchins are common in Philippine marine waters. The gonads (roe) of the sea urchin are considered a delicacy in different parts of the world. After the gonads are obtained, the other parts are considered…

Para-Toluenesulfonate Doped Polypyrolle as EMF Electrode Source

A conducting polymer was synthesized from polypyrolle doped with paratoluenesulfonate (p-TS) using electrochemical deposition technique to find a substitute for metal electrodes in EMF sources. Samples were produced with varying p-TS molarity, specifically 0.1, 0.15,…
