Agroecosystems are usually polluted with a wide variety of contaminants with pesticides being very frequently detected. Endosulfan, an organochlorine pesticide, has been shown to cause both lethal and sublethal effects o...

Abstract Watershed degradation driven by land-use change, climate variability, and rising water demand threatens water security and ecosystem services in underdeveloped countries like Nepal. Local participation is essent...

Abstract This study assesses the economic efficiency (EE) of low-emission rice production under Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) irrigation in the Mekong Delta using survey data from 250 households. Descriptive statist...

The new Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announcement makes it even more necessary to find alternatives to trans fats. The effect of cooling rate and temperature cycles on crystallization behavior and polymorphism of t...

In this study, we describe, for the first time, the genetic composition of the southern elephant seal Mirounga leonina (SES) breeding colony at Potter Peninsula (PP) (King George Island, Antarctica) based on a fragment o...

Background and aimsThe ability of plant microbial symbionts to enhance hosts´ fitness depends on the abiotic and biotic context, including the presence of co-existing symbionts. We studied how the presence of arbuscular...

Abstract Over the past two decades, agricultural exports in Southeast Asia have surged due to trade liberalization and rising global food demand. This study examines the environmental impacts of agricultural exports in A...

Abstract Therapeutic resistance remains a major cause of treatment failure and disease recurrence across cancer types, considerably limiting the long-term efficacy of chemotherapies, targeted therapies, and immunotherapi...

On December 16th, 2015, the superconducting gravimeter SG038 started to measure again after it was moved from the previous station in Concepcion, Chile to the Argentine-Germany Geodetic Observatory (AGGO) near the city o...

Communicating climate change projections to diverse stakeholders and addressing their concerns is crucial for fostering effective climate adaptation. This paper explores the use of storyline projections as an intermediat...

Generalized dualities had an intriguing incursion into Double Field Theory (DFT) in terms of local O(d, d) transformations. We review this idea and use the higher derivative formulation of DFT to compute the first order ...

Juvenile breast cancer is rare and poorly known. We studied a series of five breast cancer patients diagnosed within 25 years of age that included two adolescents, 12- and 15-years-old, and 3 young women, 21-, 21-, and 2...

Abstract This study investigates the effect of board structure on accrual and real earnings management in Ethiopia. Before the enactment of Proclamation No. 1248/2021 and the subsequent official market launch in 2025, Et...

Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis causes bacterial wilt and canker in tomato. A detailed account of pathogen effects on growth and water parameters of affected plants is lacking. Besides, the long latent per...

Abstract Eastern Himalayan Region (EHR), where rice is an important staple crop, developing drought stress tolerant varieties is crucial for improving yield and stability in variable climates. Genotype-by-environment (GE...

Magnetic biocatalysts offer enormous advantages over traditional ones. Their ability to be isolated by means of a magnet, in combination with their extensive reuse possibilities, makes them highly attractive and competit...

Abstract Biomass-based value web approaches are increasingly promoted as sustainable pathways for improving rural livelihoods and resource efficiency in smallholder farming systems, yet empirical evidence on their liveli...

After reductions of fugitive and diffuse emissions by an industrial complex, a follow-up study was performed to determine the time variability of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the lifetime cancer risk (LCR). Pass...

The relationship between “marginal” and “mainstream” science has, in recent decades, become a matter of discussion. Traditional perspectives must be reexamined in the wake of transformations in the international ...

Abstract Hydropower at the Ruacana station underpins Namibia’s domestic electricity supply; however, empirical evidence of how interannual climate variability influences its performance remains limited. This study quan...

Abstract The concept of sustainability capital has been gaining momentum worldwide, and companies are encouraged to report on sustainability capital in their integrated reports. Companies are now starting to shift their ...

Abstract The redox behaviour of manganese system in Mn–Sac and Mn–Sac–Phen complexes were studied using cyclic voltammetry technique at glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in 0.1 M KCl electrolyte. The CV of Mn–Sac sol...

Abstract Stopped flow spectrophotometry was used to study the complexation kinetics of the N-pendant arm macrocycle: N,N′,N″,N‴-tetrakis (2-carbamoylethyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (TCEC = L) reacting with...

Abstract The kinetics of formation of chromium(III)–iminodiacetic acid complex have been studied spectrophotometrically in the temperature range 35–55 °C. The reaction is first order with respect to chromium(III) an...
