In this work, Barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19) nanoparticles were used for industrial waste water treatment from methylene blue (MB) and congored (CR) dyes. Batch adsorber with mechanical stirring column was used to test various experimental parameters like contact time, initial dye concentration and adsorbent dosage for the removal of these dyes. Fo...

Organophosphate pesticides (OPPs) are widely prevalent in the environment primarily due to their low cost and extensive use in agricultural lands. However, it is estimated that only about 5% of these applied pesticides reach their intended target organisms. The remaining 95% residue linger in the environment as contaminants, posing significant ecol...

Mitigating short-term global warming is imperative, and a key strategy involves reducing atmospheric methane (CH4) due to its high radiative forcing and short lifespan. This objective can be achieved through methods such as oxidising methane at its source or implementing enhanced oxidation techniques to reduce atmospheric CH4 concentrations. In thi...

Methylene blue (MB) is a heterocyclic aromatic chemical compound used as a dye in various dyeing processes. The accumulation of such an organic compound poses a significant threat to both the environment and human health. Therefore, numerous biological, physical, and chemical processes have been established to remove MB dye, with adsorption being t...

Salmonellosis is one of the most common foodborne diseases worldwide. Surface adherence and biofilm formation are among the main strategies evolved by Salmonella to survive under harsh conditions and are risk factors for its spread through the food chain. Owing to the increase in antimicrobial resistance, there is a growing need to develop other me...

Neurological diseases and neurotrauma manifest significant sex differences in prevalence, progression, outcome, and therapeutic responses. Genetic predisposition, sex hormones, inflammation, and environmental exposures are among many physiological and pathological factors that impact the sex disparity in neurological diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) ar...
