In this research the effects of crude oil on morphological and physiological characterization ofthe cyanobacterium Microchaete tenera ISC13 were investigated. Isolated cyanobacterium treated with different oil ...

Remotely sensed imagery is proving to be a useful tool to estimate water depths in coastalzones. Bathymetric algorithms attempt to isolate water attenuation and hence depth from other factors byusing different ...

We evaluated the efficacy of a full-scale combined biophysicochemical system for treatingmolasses-based bioethanol wastewater in terms of organic substances, nutrient, and dark brown color removal. The main organic ...

This work investigates the effect of the application rate and type of sludge throughout the soilcarbon cycle in a semiarid Mediterranean agro-ecosystem. We study the two-year evolution of the variouspools of ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the sensitivity of plant bioassays:Tradescantia-micronucleus (Trad-MCN) tests using BNL 02 and 4430 clones, and Crepis capillaris hairyroots chromosome aberrations ...

Eucalyptus species are cultivated in homogeneous plantations in Brazil, mainly to supply woodfor the cellulose and steel industries, which favors the establishment of insect pests. The objective was todetermine ...

In recent years, biosurfactants due to wide applications in chemical, petroleum, food andpharmaceutical industries, have been widely considered by researchers. Biosurfactants are produced by aseries of ...

Soil samples were collected from seven sites in and around the Metropolitan Area of MexicoCity. The locations were chosen as possible sources of fugitive dusts which contribute to suspended particulate matter in the ...

The climate and weather patterns of Buffalo (New York, U.S.A.) are strongly influenced by thecity's proximity to Lake Erie. Total monthly snowfall in Buffalo is forecasted using neural network techniques(Multi-Layer ...

The main sources of human exposure to trace metals for non-occupationally exposed individualsare inhalation and ingestion. Because the absorption rates of the metals by inhalation are significantly higher (up to ...

This study presents an empirical relationship of suspended sediment concentrations (SSCs) inthe coastal waters, which is derived from the conventional methods, to radiometer remote sensing reflectance values (Rrs) ...

The usage and production of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was banned in Argentina in2002, approximately twenty to thirty years later than in other countries. A total of 29 sediment samples (upto 14 m deep) ...

This study investigated the impact of internal nitrogen and phosphorus loading on water qualityof Lake Chaohu, China. Results showed that the overall mean concentration of TN and TP in lake water was1.09±0.84 ...

During estuarine mixing of fresh water with saline water and due to the flocculation process, aportion of dissolved metals come into particulate phase, and the dissolved load decreases. This process plays an important ...

This study was conducted to identify emission characteristics of certain hazardous substancescontained in the plastic of used home electrical and electronic appliances keeping in view compliance with theRestriction ...

Pollution deriving from trace elements (Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Hg, As and Cr) in sediment samples(collected in 2009), belonging to rivers located in Catalonia and the Basque Country (Spain), was assessedaccording ...

In this study, feasibility of upgrading and retrofitting municipal wastewater treatment plantswas investigated at laboratory scale using Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) process. For this purpose,an aerobic ...

Problematic dyes extensively used in different industries such as textile, paper, food, plasticsand cosmetics have undesirable environmental effects. White rot fungi demonstrating effective extracellularenzyme ...
