Vermicomposting Bio Earth: A Sustainable Approach for Enhanced Nutrient Content and Heavy Metal Remediation in Soil Management
General
The present study obtained the Bio Earth sample from six locations, represented as LS-(1-6). The collected bio earth sample was blended with an adult earthworm ( Eisenia fetida). The experimental investigation was conducted for 108 days, and earthworms showed maximum biomass and population...
Research Progress on the Characteristics and Recovery of Phosphorus from Sludge
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Phosphorus is a non-metallic element essential for all forms of life, and the issue of phosphorus resource scarcity is increasingly gaining attention. Understanding the content and forms of phosphorus in sludge, as well as the technologies for phosphorus recovery from sludge, is of great importance...
Neural‑network‑driven approach in optimization of municipal solid waste collection integrated with geo-spatial techniques
Solid Waste Management
Municipal solid waste (MSW) management is the most important as well as difficult tasking the present context of rapid urbanization. In this study, a comparison has been done using Geographical information system(GIS) and artificial neural network(ANN) to determine optimum route and time for the...
Exploring Gene Expression Biclustering with Integrated PSO-SA-Fuzzy Logic Methodology and its Application to Air Pollution Analysis
Air Quality
Gene expression data analysis is crucial for understanding complex biological mechanisms, yet current biclustering techniques struggle with noise, unpredictability, and intrinsic uncertainty. This study proposes an innovative biclustering method combining particle swarm optimization (PSO), simulated...
New strategy for photocatalytic antibacterial concrete: in situ fluoride-modified negatively charged interfaces
Urban environment and health
Sponge cities embody a green and sustainable urban development approach, with permeable concrete structures crucial for collecting natural precipitation. Over time, however, microbes from rainwater can adhere to and proliferate on these concrete surfaces, potentially accelerating material corrosion...
Improving Mechanical Properties of Magnesium matrix composite using reutilization of Electronic Waste and Boron Nitride
Solid Waste Management
This study examines the properties of Mg ( Magnesium )/E lectronic Waste/BN ( Boron Nitride ) composite materials by analyzing their wear rate and hardness using a one-variable-at-a-time approach. It reveals intricate relationships affecting material performance, with increasing E-Waste particle...
Effect of climatic factors on sexual maturity Labeo rohita fish
Ecological effects of Environmental change
This study examined the varying levels of thyroxine hormone impact (at doses of 2, 10, and 50 µg g-1 BW) as an environmentally responsive hormone on the fatty acid and sexual steroid profiles in male Labeo rohita fish. Each treatment group comprised six male fish with an average weight of 5.4 ± 0.58...
Adsorption of Carotenoids, Chloride, and Sulfate from Annatto Dye Agro-Industrial Effluent
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Natural dyes, such as annatto, are widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. However, the effluents from annatto dye production pose environmental challenges due to the presence of residual dye components, organic matter, and dissolved inorganic species (chloride and sulfate). This...
Evaluating Water Quality through Macroinvertebrate Diversity and Physicochemical Parameters in the Thamirabarani River Basin
General
Aquatic ecosystems in the Thamirabarani River Basin, Tamil Nadu, India, are facing increasingly complex challenges due to climate change, particularly concerning water temperature and dissolved oxygen levels. This study delves into the intricate relationship between these variables and their...
Exploring the Impact of Pesticide Resistance in Agricultural Pest Management
General
Pesticide resistance in agricultural pests threatens global food security despite ongoing advancements in pesticide technology. This study addresses the urgent need for a comprehensive understanding of resistance mechanisms and their ecological and economic implications. Through interdisciplinary...
