Spatio-temporal assessment of imperious surfaces and their impacts on land surface temperature in bathinda city punjab
(Central University of Punjab, 2016)Experimental discovery of graphene has opened up the door for the researcher in the field of 2D materials. After the successful synthesis of the graphene, new classes of the 2D material are emerging. Phosphorene, single ... -
Evaluation of monocrotophos residues in soils of bathinda, punjab and its viodegradation through microbial isolates of contaminated soil
(Central University of Punjab, 2013)The soil samples for the study were randomly collected from ten different villages (Bhagibander, Dhadde, Gurusar Sahnewala, Jajjal, Jassi, Malkana, Mahinangal, Sangat Kalan, Talwandi sabo, Teona Pujarian) of Bathinda. The ... -
Removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solution using cone biomass of picea smithana as adsorbent
(Central University of Punjab, 2013)Chromium has wide range of uses in various metal and chemical industries. Hence, it is discharged in environment in large quantities with effluent from these industries. Cr(VI) compounds have been recognized as toxic and ... -
Studies in the synthesis and chromium adsorption behaviour of microcrystalline cellulose immobilized zero valent iron nanoparticles (MCC-nZVI)
(Central University of Punjab, 2014)In this study iron nanoparticles (nZVI) are used for the chromium removal from water. nZVI are synthesized in ionic liquid [BMIM]Cl and water, binary solution by borohydride reduction method. For stability of the nZVI, it ... -

(Central University of Punjab, 2012)Cancer is one of the major problems that accounts for millions of death worldwide per year. Breast cancer is the most commonly encountered cancer in the females. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the standard methods used ... -
Effect of arsenic on the growth and physiology of triticum aestivum L. seedings
(Central University of Punjab, 2012)The effects of Arsenic (As) were investigated on four varieties of T. aestivum viz. PBW 343, PBW 550, PBW 621 and HD 2967 to elucidate the toxicity of As on morphological, physiological, biochemical and antioxidant processes ... -
Inhibitory effect of essential oil of ocimum sanctum l. against pesticide induced genotoxicity
(Central University of Punjab, 2012)The increase in pesticide contamination in the environment is of great concern due to its strong association with genetic material. The plants are considered as natural drugs to decline such toxic effects. In present study, ... -
Isolation of indigenous butachlor (Herbicide) degrading bacteria from the agricultural fields of punjab
(Central University of Punjab, 2014)Butachlor (N-Butoxymethyl-2-chloro-2', 6'-diethyl acetanilide) is a chloroacetalanilide herbicide widely used in paddy fields. Due to extensive application, high stability and persistence in soil and water, has resulted ... -
Studies in the hydrolysis of cellulose using cellulase in imidazolium based ionic liquid
(Central University of Punjab, 2012)Ionic liquids are the modern day revelations as a green solvent. These solvents have found many applications in biofuel strategy. The cellulose pretreatment using ionic liquid is currently being studied for future biofuels ... -
To study the effect of BT (Bacillus thruingiensis) cotton cultivation on soil health
(Central University of Punjab, 2012)The impact of transgenic Bacillus thruingiensis (Bt) cotton cultivation on soil enzymes and physico-chemical parameters of soil were investigated. Soil samples were collected from surface (0-20 cm depth) of agricultural ... -
Adsorption studies for the removal of hexavalent chromium using fly ash of waste to energy power plant
(Central University of Punjab, 2013)Chromium is the most common pollutant discharged in industrial effluent and reported to be present beyond permissible limits causing various health problems like carcinogenicity. Therefore, it must be removed from ... -
