Urban agricultural systems, like community and home gardens, may act as oases of biodiversity in cities dominated by impervious surfaces. They have also been shown to bridge gaps in food security and provide socio-cultural benefits. Despite these benefits, little research has been conducted that evaluates factors influencing garden plant biodiversi...

In order to study natural concentration of heavy metal in sand sediments of the Oman Sea and its relationship with composition and provenance of the deposits, the concentrations of Cd, Co, Cu, Sr, Pb, Cr, Zn, Ni, Mn and Fe were determined. Relationships between the heavy metal concentration with composition of the sediments and rocks existing in th...

Groundwater pollution due to industrial effluents from textile units around Pali city area is the major concern to the local villagers and the district administration. Indiscriminate discharge of these effluents in the past two decades caused severe damage to the agricultural land and groundwater resources within 3 km buffer zone of the Bandi river...

The purpose of this work is to apply Donnan dialysis coupled with the cation exchange membrane (CMX), the cation exchange grafted textile (CET) and the solvent impregnated resin (SIR) for recovery and enrichment of heavy metal ions from dilute solutions. The influence of some analytical parameters was investigated. The transport results show that t...

Growth arrest and DNA damage (GADD) 45α is a member of GADD inducible gene family, and is inducible in cell response to oxidative stress. GADD45α upregulation induces MKK4/JNK activation in some published experimental systems. However, we found here that the depletion of GADD45α (GADD45α-/-) in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) resulted in an incr...
