Phenotypic variations alter the ecological impact of invasive alien species: Lessons from Parthenium hysterophorus
(Academic Press, 2019)
Invasive plant species constantly adjust their behavior with ecological shifts by virtue of phenotypic plasticity and/or local adaptations. Changes in the phenotype of an invasive species may also trigger variations in its ...
Application of EDTA modified Fe3O4/sawdust carbon nanocomposites to ameliorate methylene blue and brilliant green dye laden water
(Academic Press, 2019)
This work explored the potential of magnetic sawdust carbon nanocomposites for cationic dyes removal from aqueous medium. EDTA modified magnetic sawdust carbon nanocomposites (EDTA@Fe3O4/SC ncs) were prepared by biogenic ...
Chemical profiling, cytotoxicity and phytotoxicity of foliar volatiles of Hyptis suaveolens
(Academic Press, 2019)
In the present study, the essential oil (EO) of Hyptis suaveolens has been explored for the first time for its phytotoxic and cytotoxic activities. The phytotoxic activity was assessed against rice (Oryza sativa) and its ...
Green synthesis, activation and functionalization of adsorbents for dye sequestration
(Springer, 2019)
The release of recalcitrant dyes into the biosphere is a threat because of pollution and environmental health issues. Adsorption using commercial activated carbon has been effective in industrial dye-loaded effluent ...
Biotransformation of bakery industry sludge into valuable product using vermicomposting
(Elsevier, 2019)
The aim of present work was to evaluate periodic changes in bakery industry sludge during vermicomposting. Six different blends of cow dung (CD) and bakery industry sludge (BIS) containing 10 to 50% of BIS were assessed ...
High resolution hydrogeochemical survey and estimation of baseline concentrations of trace elements in surface water of the Itacaiúnas River Basin, southeastern Amazonia: Implication for environmental studies
(Elsevier, 2019)
A high resolution systematic geochemical mapping at regional-scale is considered to be the best available method to estimate geochemical baseline levels of trace elements in stream water, and is an essential part of ...
Impact of rice-husk ash on the soil biophysical and agronomic parameters of wheat crop under a dry tropical ecosystem
(Elsevier, 2019)
Several alternative amendments like organic manure and biochar have been proposed for revitalizing the degrading soil viability and fertility for sustainable agriculture, globally. However, detailed field-scale studies ...
Exposure to mobile phone radiations at 2350 MHz incites cyto- and genotoxic effects in root meristems of Allium cepa
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)
Background: The exponential increase of electromagnetic field radiations (EMF-r) in the natural environment has raked up the controversies regarding their biological effects. Concern regarding the putative capacity of EMF-r ...
WATERSHED CHARACTERISATION AND MANAGEMENT PLANNING OF HARIKE WETLAND USING REMOTE SENSING AND GIS APPROACH
(Central University of Punjab, 2019)
Wetlands are among the world’s most productive ecosystems and offer several beneficial services for man, fish and other wildlife. Despite the numerous valuable services provided by wetlands, they are overexploited throughout ...
Appraisal of immediate and late effects of mobile phone radiations at 2100 MHz on mitotic activity and DNA integrity in root meristems of Allium cepa
(Springer, 2019)
The present study evaluated the potential of 2100 MHz radiofrequency radiations to act as cytotoxic and genotoxic agent. Fresh onion (Allium cepa L.) roots were exposed to electromagnetic field radiations (EMF-r) for ...
