Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) connects fresh and marine ecosystems conveys terrestrially derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) nutrients from land to sea. The connectivity of terrestrial via SGD depends strongly on local environmental settings. For example, composition is modified its transit through the coastal aquifer, with spring-type highly permeable aquifers presumably being less ...

In the present study, the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of different Iranian honey samples are investigated using various multivariate techniques in order to develop a quality control model. Forty-eight Iranian honey samples were tested for 15 physicochemical and antioxidant parameters. The parameters for which the samples were tested included color intensity, moisture, ...

The aim of present study was to carry out pharmacognostic and physicochemical evaluation of fruits of Gmelina arborea. Fresh fruits and dried powder of the fruits were studied by morphology, microscopy, qualitative chemical test and florescence analysis of powdered drug. Other physicochemical parameters were also performed as per WHO guide lines. The detailed microscopy revealed the presence of...

Bacterial production is the entry point for detrital macronutrients into aquatic food webs. Many factors affect productivity, but the heterogeneity of detrital substrates and the diversity of microbial communities confound simple relationships between carbon supply and growth. WC tried to link the two by analyzing extracellular enzyme activities. Water samples were collected from three rivers a...

Urban stormwater from simulated rainfall on three different landuses in Queensland State, Australia (residential, industrial, commercial) was analysed for heavy metals and physico-chemical parameters such as Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS). Rainfall events were simulated using a specially designed rainfall simulator for paved surfaces. Event mean concentration sa...

The origin of the concept of a molecular complex between oxygen and hemoglobin can be traced to Stokes, a century and a half ago. Subsequently, physicochemical concepts of equilibria provided a path to quantitative formulations of these ligand-receptor interactions. Then, it took a quarter of a century before a proper format was prepared in terms of four stoichiometric equilibria and their asso...

Natural organic matter (NOM) in drinking water supplies can provide precursors for disinfectant byproducts, molecules that impact taste and odors, compounds that influence the efficacy of treatment, and other compounds that are a source of energy and carbon for the regrowth of microorganisms during distribution. NOM, measured as dissolved organic carbon (DOC), was monitored daily in the White R...

CNC turning is widely used as a manufacturing process through which unwanted material is removed to get the high degree of surface rough. In this research article, Taguchi technique was coupled with grey relation analysis (GRA) to optimize the turning parameters for simultaneous improvement of productivity, average surface roughness (Ra), and root mean square roughness (Rq).Taguchi technique L2...
