The enzyme characteristics such as substrate and temperature optima were more or less similar while pH requirement for optimum AChE activity varied from 7.0 to 7.6 In vitro inhibition of head and body AChE was studied using pure and commercial anticholinesterase compounds. Interestingly, the commercial formulations like Metacid-50 and Carbaryl are potent enough at 1×10^(-8) M to produce 50% in vitro inhibition of AChE of head and body regions within 15 min of preincubation. A 20 min of preincubation (t0.5) was necessary to record 50% in vitro inhibition of AChE with known and pure anticholinesterase compounds such as DFP (3.5×10^(-10)M) and physostigmine (3.6 ×10^(-10)M). It is surmised that (a) the response of the head and body AChE to the commercial formulations of the insecticides may be used as a reliable and sensitive bioindicator of pesticidal contamination of the terrestrial environment and (b) termite control may be successfully done with the application of organophosphate or carbamate compounds.展开更多

In modern industrial production, the embryo is produced by transplanting one-day-old worker bee chrysalises into queen bee shaped incubators to allow worker bees to feed them believing they are queen bees. As a result, the weight of these chrysalises increases by some 1,000 times in 70 hours. When the royal jelly is collected, the chrysalises must be展开更多

This tablet (Bo 70/10, KBo XXII 2) is the Old Hittite original, written in the old ductus, of KBo III 38 (=2 BoTU 13). The latter, known from the autograph of M.H. Figulla (1918), is a New Hittite copy with a very characteristic ductus and a preference for Akkadian forms where the Old Hittite version uses Hittite words or, more seldom, Sumerograms. The text, known as The Legend about the Queen of Kanis and the City of Zalpa, was published in transliteration and with a commentary by H. Otten (1973).展开更多
