Abstract Bioremediation offers a sustainable strategy for removing heavy metals from water by transforming toxic pollutants into less hazardous forms. In this study, a highly metal-tolerant bacterium, Lysinibacillus fusi...

The clay-hosted lithium deposit in Sonora, Mexico, represents a potential mining site for this critical mineral, which is essential for clean energy technologies and currently in high demand during the energy transition....

Abstract. Background. Determining the effect of combined metal action on the anaerobic microbial association during the fermentation process and methane production. Objective. To investigate the effect of the simultane...

Abstract Objectives Smokeless tobacco (SLT) products are widely consumed in India, contributing significantly to the burden of oral cancer and systemic diseases. Despite their popularity, limited data exist on heavy meta...

The study deals with determining the concentrations of heavy metals—silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), arsenic (As), barium (Ba), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), lithium (Li), manganese (Mn),...

The kidney is a primary organ of heavy metal accumulation, and metal toxicity poses a great challenge to kidney health. We conducted a repeated-measure study to examine the longitudinal associations between blood heavy m...

Abstract Long-root Eichhornia crassipes, an aquatic plant with extensive root systems, has demonstrated potential in remediating eutrophicated water bodies. However, improper disposal of large quantities of discarded pla...

Abstract Naturally, neonates as well as infants in the society are the most susceptible health effects of malnutrition and heavy metal risks due to their inevitable rapid development of their organs and tissues for prope...

Abstract The multicomponent thermal fluid (MTF) process is a pivotal technology for enhancing heavy oil recovery. However, its injection often triggers particle migration and deposition within reservoirs, leading to perm...

Phytoremediation of areas polluted by heavy metals and toxic metalloids is challenging, particularly in arid regions where limited water availability compromises plant establishment. This study shows that several Atriple...

Abstract This study evaluated spatiotemporal variations in drinking water quality, pollution levels, and heavy metal contamination in key rural water sources including, 23 dams, eight minor lakes, and three swamps. A tot...

While Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) are essential to the global economy, their massive size creates dangerous visibility gaps, or "blind spots," that place both drivers and other road users at risk. Traditional mirrors oft...

Abstract The interplay between strong electronic correlations, unconventional superconductivity, and symmetry-protected topology provides a fertile ground for discovering exotic quantum states. In this work, we investiga...

Heavy metal pollution has become a major global concern due to its serious threats to ecosystem stability and public health. Although significant progress has been achieved in physical, chemical, and biological remediati...

In the context of global warming, heavy precipitation is a frequent and impactful hazardous event. Timely identification of meteorological conditions associated with heavy rainfall is critical for urban flood risk manage...

In this study, an Entropy Transformed Pareto Distribution (EnTrPD) was proposed to provide improved flexibility in modelling heavy-tailed behavior observed in data, and was subsequently applied to assess wealth inequalit...

Abstract Mosses and lichens are effective bioindicators because they absorb nutrients and pollutants directly from the atmosphere, allowing them to accumulate metals and nutrients. This study evaluated mosses and lichens...

Abstract A dual chamber microbial fuel cells was developed using biomass derived reduced graphene oxide (E-rGO) synthesized from Ensete ventricosum corm waste as an anode material for simultaneous bioelectricity generati...

Abstract This study evaluated the viability of organic farming in the Upper (UGR), Middle (MGR), and Lower Ganga Regions (LGR) by analysing soil health, nutrient availability, and heavy metal contamination. Using standar...

This study presents the first comparative assessment of tobacco and non-tobacco industrial effluents in Bangladesh, emphasizing irrigation potential and ecological risks (ER) through multi-index evaluations. Eighteen tob...

Abstract Background Heavy metal pollution, particularly cadmium (Cd), poses a significant threat to the environment, human health and plant growth. Taurine is an amino acid with antioxidant properties. The effect of taur...

Abstract Background Under pressures of health insurance cost containment and high-quality development, diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) and other case-based payment schemes have become a major direction of China’s inpat...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the irrigation water quality of Kuzgun Dam, which supplies water to the agricultural lands of Daphan Plain, located in Erzurum Province, Türkiye. Water samples were collected from se...

Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) truss arch bridges are widely used in long-span bridge construction due to their high strength, good stiffness, and excellent durability. However, arch rib joints, as critical load-be...
