1,3-Bis(cyanomethoxy)calix[4]arene capped CdSe quantum dots for the fluorogenic sensing of fluorene
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017)
Capping of 1,3-bis(cyanomethoxy)-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (CAD) onto CdSe quantum dots (QDs) was characterized by a fluorescence enhancement of the QDs (?em = 580 nm) upon surface interaction with the phenolic moiety of ...
Biosensors for breast cancer diagnosis: A review of bioreceptors, biotransducers and signal amplification strategies
(Elsevier Ltd, 2017)
Breast cancer is highly prevalent in females and accounts for second highest number of deaths, worldwide. Cumbersome, expensive and time consuming detection techniques presently available for detection of breast cancer ...
Laccase immobilized magnetic iron nanoparticles: Fabrication and its performance evaluation in chlorpyrifos degradation
(Elsevier Ltd, 2017)
Chlorpyrifos degradation was studied using laccase immobilized on magnetic iron nanoparticles (CENPs). The magnetic iron nanoparticles (MNPs) prepared by co-precipitation method were characterized using Transmission electron ...
Effect of organic loading rate on electricity generating potential of upflow anaerobic microbial fuel cell treating surgical cotton industry wastewater
(Elsevier Ltd, 2017)
In this study, the performance of continuous fed upflow anaerobic microbial fuel cell operated with surgical cotton industry wastewater was investigated at different Organic Loading Rate (OLR). The potency of power generation, ...
Copper(II) Bioremoval by a Rhizosphere Bacterium, Stenotrophomonas acidaminiphila MYS1-Process Optimization by RSM Using Box–Behnken Design
(Springer, 2017)
A copper-tolerant bacterium strain MYS1 was isolated from Brass effluent-contaminated Cynodon dactylon rhizosphere and identified as Stenotrophomonas acidaminipila by 16S rRNA analysis. Bacterium culture was enriched in ...
Copper-tolerant rhizosphere bacteria—characterization and assessment of plant growth promoting factors
(Springer, 2017)
Remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil is a major problem or concern worldwide. Heavy metal accumulation in the soil is increasing day by day by industries, mines, agriculture, fuel combustion and municipal waste ...
Assessment of bio-concentration factor of heavy metals in Indian soil-crop system
(Scientific Publishers, 2017)
Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in different agricultural products in soil-crop systems has fascinated pervasive attention in yester years due to food safety issues. The objectives of this study were to determine the ...
Bioaccumulation and health risks of heavy metals associated with consumption of rice grains from croplands in Northern India
(Taylor and Francis Inc., 2017)
The present study focused on micronutrients and nonessential toxic heavy metals quantification and their bio-concentration in soil?rice system in Haryana, India. Composite samples of rice grains and paddy fields' soil were ...
Chemical and Bioactive Profiling, and Biological Activities of Coral Fungi from Northwestern Himalayas
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017)
Ramaria Fr. and Clavaria L. are the two major genera of coral mushrooms within families Gomphaceae and Clavariaceae, respectively. Besides having important role in forest ecology, some species of these are reported to ...
A comparative analysis of composts and vermicomposts derived from municipal solid waste for the growth and yield of green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)
(Springer Verlag, 2017)
This work was conducted to evaluate and compare the responses of Phaseolus vulgaris to three types of composts and vermicomposts derived from municipal solid waste (MSW). Different amendment rates were used and evaluated ...
