Pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris)) were marked with rubidium by rearing them on broad bean plants (Vicia faba L.) maintained in nutrient solutions that contained rubidium chloride. Rb+ was readily detected by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in groups of aphids, and it varied in concentration with the concentration in the plant. A technique was developed for the preparation and analysis of single aphids marked with Rb+. More than 77% of the Rb+ in marked adult aphids was lost within 2 days of leaving the source plant, but detectable quantities remained for 4 days.

Faba Beans

Eleven cultivars of faba beans and one of broad bean (Vicia faba L.) were bioassayed for resistance to pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris)) by determining the fecundity, survival and developmental rate of the aphid on each cultivar. None of the cultivars tested, including the three licensed for production in Canada, possess any significant resistance, although they differ in susceptibility.

Insect Populations

The effect on insect populations of the widespread use of plant growth regulators and herbicides is a neglected field. Fox (1948) reported on a relationship between the use of 2,4-D and wireworm damage to wheat. Putnam (1949) suggested that 2,4-D could be an environmental factor in the ecology of grasshoppers. A recent report (Maxwell and Harwood, 1958) indicates that even slight dosages of 2,4-D increase the rate of reproduction of pea aphids on broad beans. This note is a preliminary report on similar investigations with the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris), and broad bean, Vicia faba L.

Root Growth And Development

Humic acids promote the conversion of mineral nutrients into forms available to plants. It also stimulates seed germination and viability, and its main effect usually being more prominent in the roots. The objective of this study was to determine of the influence of humic acid on broad bean (Vicia faba L.) cultivar ‘Eresen 87’ on root growth and development as well as nutrient uptake, during investigation in a pot experiment. Treatment with leonardite, as humic acid source positively affected both germination and harvesting, enhancing root length and biomass. Humic acid (HA) caused significant increase of fresh (RFW) and dry (RDW) weights by 30.1% and 56.6% of broad bean roots, respectively. Flame photometer and atomic absorption spectrophotometry analyses revealed that K content was major nutrient among the tested elements. Humic acid increased the contents of Na and K significantly. The content of Ca and Fe was not significantly increased whereas Cu, Mn and Zn content decreased under HA treatment.

Lipstick or lip dye is a cosmetic dose that serves to coloring, decorative the lips, as a moisturizing material and protect the lips from exposure the sun to provide optimum results. Lipstick should not contain chemicals such as lead (Pb) because the Pb is a heavy metal that is very dangerous when continuously used on the skin, because it will be absorbed into the blood and attack the body organ causing the onset of disease. According to BPOM that the lead rate on the lipstick does not exceed the permissible limit of 20 mg/kg or 20 ppm.This research aims to know the levels contained in the samples are 4 brands of matte lipstick that are sold in the Aceh market in Banda Aceh City with the method of atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). The results showed that on the 4 brands of lipstick matte contain heavy metal lead (Pb) with a rate still qualified allowed by BPOM  is samples A, B, C, and D, respectively at 0.24 ppm; 0.10 ppm; 2.87 ppm and 1.32 ppm, so that the 4 brands of lipstick matte are still used.

Pewarnaan pada proses produksi kain sasirangan menghasilkan limbah yang mengandung logam berat, diantaranya adalah timbal (Pb2+) dan kadmium (Cd2+). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh proses fitoremediasi terhadap konsentrasi logam Pb2+ dan Cd2+ dari limbah cair industri sasirangan di Kalimantan Selatan, serta mengetahui pertambahan berat basah eceng gondok. Eceng gondok yang sudah dibersihkan dan diaklimatisasi ditanam dalam reaktor berisi larutan limbah dengan konsentrasi 3% (v/v); 9% (v/v); dan 15% (v/v). Sampel diambil setiap 2 hari sekali sebanyak 100 ml dan dianalisis menggunakan AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi logam Pb2+ dan Cd2+ dalam limbah setelah proses fitoremediasi terjadi penurunan. Kadar Pb2+ pada konsentrasi 3% (v/v) semula 0,197 ppm menjadi 0,062 ppm, pada konsentrasi 9% (v/v) semula 0,200 ppm menjadi 0,077 ppm dan untuk 15% (v/v) adalah 0,225 ppm menjadi 0,093 ppm. Sedangkan untuk Cd2+ konsentrasi 3% (v/v) semula 0,110 ppm menjadi 0,059 ppm, konsentrasi 9% (v/v) adalah 0,127 ppm menjadi 0,045 ppm dan untuk konsentrasi 15% (v/v) semula 0,144 ppm menjadi 0,047 ppm.

Abstract The official first action AOAC method for the spectrophotometric determination of biuret in urea, 2.072—2.074, was compared with official first action AOAC method 2.C01-2.C03 (atomic absorption spectrophotometry), 2 simplified versions of 2.072-2.074, and modified versions of 2 alternative procedures of the International Organization for Standardization. Three synthetic urea samples (0.3, 1.4, and 3.0% biuret) and 1 commercial urea sample (1.0% biuret) were analyzed. The methods proved to be equivalent and none showed a definite advantage over 2.072-2.074. The purification of biuret and the interference by ammonia are also discussed.
