Sub-optimal storage of grains could deteriorate seed germination and plant viability. Recent research studies have established that laser biostimulation seeds be used as a safe sustainable alternative to chemical treatment for improving crop growth. Herein, the efficacy this novel technique is evaluated see if poor germinability caused by sub-optimal flaxseeds (Linum usitatissimum) reversed usi...

The increasing need for remediation of contaminated sites has led to the development new technologies that emphasize on biological detoxification anddestructionofthe(organic)contaminants.Bioremediationisamongthesetechnologiesthatdestroyorrenderharmlessvariouscontaminants,usingthebiologicalactivityofcertainmicroorganisms[1].Needlesstosaythatasbioremediationactuallyreliesonthemicrobialgrowthandac...

Use of genetic search algorithms for detection of subsurface biological activity zones (BAZ) is investigated through a series of hypothetical numerical biostimulation experiments. Continuous injection of dissolved oxygen (DO) and methane with periodically varying concentration stimulate the cometabolism of indigenous methanotropic bacteria. The observed breakthroughs of methane are used to dedu...

The wound healing process has always been an excellent subject for researchers. The use of lowpower laser on wounds during the postoperative phase has increased the speed of the healing process. It has been implied that low power radiation affects cellular metabolic processes and promotes beneficial biological effects (analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and healing). Laser biostimulation appears to ...

In situ groundwater bioremediation of hydrocarbons has been used for more than 40 years. Most strategies involve biostimulation; however, recently bioaugmentation have been used for dehalorespiration. Aquifer and contaminant profiles are critical to determining the feasibility and strategy for in situ groundwater bioremediation. Hydraulic conductivity and redox conditions, including concentrati...

The commercial use of artificial insemination (AI) in rabbit farming is relatively recent, especially when compared to other species such as cattle or swine, which AI has been used for more than 60 years. large-scale dates back the late 80s. However, despite its short journey, it not stopped evolving. Although there have numerous changes, this review article we aim highlight two important miles...

1,4-Dioxane biodegradation was investigated in microcosms prepared with groundwater and soil from an impacted site in Alaska. In addition to natural attenuation conditions (i.e., no amendments), the following treatments were tested: (a) biostimulation by addition of 1-butanol (a readily available auxiliary substrate) and inorganic nutrients; and (b) bioaugmentation with Pseudonocardia dioxanivo...
