Recently, there has been a rise in research based on data-driven based machine learning models to address the issue of processing speed posed by various physiological simulations. The majority of studies, however, have concentrated on creating models for particular water sources, drainage systems...

To understand the hazards of noise on human body and to mitigate the effects of noise on human health. This paper introduces the sources and levels of traffic noise, and describes the effects of noise on the combined effects of human auditory system, cardiovascular system, nervous system...

The pollution and toxicological effects of microplastics in soil have gradually attracted widespread attention, but studies on the ecological effects of microplastics on soil microorganisms and their mechanisms are still very scarce. To explore the physiological response of ectomycorrhizal fungi...

Due to the development of open access medium-high resolution remote sensing data like multispectral remote sensing images, crop classification becomes a hot research topic to be realized on large scale using machine learning (ML) models. At the same time, chlorophyll content is a critical index used...

The ecological aspects such as environmental factors, socio-economic constraints, and demographic parameters are one of the key aspects of examining the health benefits of human subjects and are used as a ready reference in ecosystem modeling. Ecosystems are growing at an extraordinary speed around...

The current study explores the capacities of Moringa oleifera (L), to overcome and/or tolerate oxidative stress induced by a saline substrate as a constraining factor. For this, Moringa seeds have been treated for 15 days after germination in vitro with increasing concentrations of NaCl, and...

To discriminate the specific response of ion toxicity versus osmotic stress on altering leaf solute contents, contributing of organic and/or inorganic components in osmotic adjustment and its reflection on plant performances under ionic and osmotic stresses, two cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.)...

The aim of the study was to determine cadmium influence on the lead phytotoxicity to spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). The seedlings of H. vulgare were treated with single Pb (ranging from 0.1 to 100 mg l-1) and Pb mixture with Cd. Plant biomass production, physiological response, induction of...

Plant nanotoxicology is an emerging and less-explored area of research for the plant stress biologists. The present study assesses the toxicity of bulk-CuO and nano-CuO (size <50 nm and surface area = 29 m 2 g -1) on maize ( Zea mays cv. hybrids triple white Hi Tech.) seedlings. Five successive...

A simulated wetland experiment was used to investigate the effect of cadmium (Cd) on the growth of Arundo donax, as well as its photosynthetic characteristics and antioxidant enzyme activities. Cd accumulation in the order of stem < roots < leaves increased gradually with increasing Cd...

To evaluate the effects of titanium and bio-fertilizers on some agronomic and physiological properties of triticale grown in cadmium (Cd) contaminated soil, a glasshouse experiment was conducted based on a completely randomized design with three replications. The treatments were arranged in a 4×4...

In order to make assessments in understanding of physiological and genotoxic effects of imposing cadmium (Cd) on photosynthetic pigment contents along with the changes occurring in genetic material of Kalanchoe plants were used in relation to various Cd-treatments. Young plantlets were originated...

In vitro tolerance of soil borne phytopathogenic fungus i.e. Alternaria alternata in terms of growth, physiology and metal uptake capacity against different doses of copper [Cu(II)] metal was assessed. In preliminary growth experiments, nitrate, chloride and sulphate of Cu(II) were amended in seven...

Water contamination by heavy metals is a serious global problem due to increased environmental and health-related issues. In this study, we have comparatively investigated the heavy metal concentrations and mineral nutrient levels in Karasu river sediments and in plants samples of Phragmites...

This study features an analysis of the influences and effects of different postures performed within tasks of waste collection. Four men, ages 30, 46, 60 and 65, and two women, ages 38 and 48, took part in this study. The assessment makes use of a 3D Static Strength Prediction Program (3DSSPP™) to...

The aim of this paper is to present in a useful and understandable way how climatic change could be interpreted for tourism and recreation. Future climate change conditions are analyzed using the Climate Version of the Local Model (CLM) based on the COSMO model, which is currently used – among other...

This study investigates the thermal and bioclimatic conditions in Erzurum plain and the nearby Palandoken Mountains. The data was obtained from Erzurum Meteorological Station (1758 m) and Palandoken Mountains Meteorological Station (2973 m) for 2009 and 2010 in order to compute physiologically...

A noticeable decline of Quercus ithaburensis ssp. Macrolepis, a typical mediterranean species, has been recorded in the past few decades throughout Greece. The triggers were mostly human influences and specifically illegal cuttings, wildfires, and overgrazing. Regeneration and future management of...

We have carried out a geochemical study on the behaviour of certain trace elements during the evaporative concentration of free brines (salinity from 41 to 400 ‰) of the solar salt works of Sfax saline (S.E of Tunisia). The elements concerned by this survey are Zinc, Cadmium, Manganese, Molybdenum...

Many Public Aquaria have been designed and constructed all over the world during the last three decades. The serial arrangement of relatively small, rectangular, concrete tanks has been replaced by fewer large, irregularly shaped tanks, replicating habitats. The “taxonomic concept” of displaying...

To describe the tourism potential of an area, not only single meteorological parameters have to be taken into account, but also thermal sensation and people’s thermal comfort. The latter can be estimated by the use of human energy balance models and the derived thermal indices, which comprise all...

Radiocaesium is an isotope that can enter the food chain after having been absorbed by plants from soil. Our ability to predict the consequences of an accidental release of 137Cs depends mainly on the level of understanding of the mechanisms involved in 137Cs interactions with different components...

Biological treatment has been carried out in two different systems: aerated closed and threephase fluidized bed reactors for hydrocarbons removal from refinery wastewaters. For the two systems, hydrodynamic study allowed the determination of operating conditions before treatment experiments. Then...
