this article wants to propose this theory that farm corporations are agropolitan development models in iran. as over-concentrating investments to the urban areas did not lead to a trickledown effect to the rural areas. to the extreme, there are ideas to minimize linkages with the urban economy, and to make the rural areas pursue self-sufficiency by maximizing its potentials. however, against th...

The lipases have ability to catalyze diverse reactions and are important in different biotechnological applications. The aim of this work was to isolate and characterize microorganisms that produce lipases, from different food industry effluents localized in Pelotas, RS/Brazil. Bacteria were identified using Gram stain and biochemical tests (Vitek 2(r)). Fungi were identified according to macro...

Contamination of effluents with chemicals is a serious problem that impacts human health. Methylene blue cationic dye found frequently in industrial and urban sewages. In this work, dried grinded seeds peels nance were used as biosorbents aqueous solutions at pH 7 10 (simulating textile effluents) finding Langmuir Freundlich isotherms adequately described the sorption. Adsorption efficiencies l...

Seeking a sensitive protocol, culture-dependent methods were compared to detect thermophilic Campylobacter species in untreated urban effluents. We evaluated various combinations of selective media, with and without an enrichment steps, as well as an extra filtration step. Culture-independent real-time quantitative PCR was also included and all detected isolates underwent antimicrobial suscepti...

the river kabini which is tributary of cauvery drains through industrial area at nanjangud, karnataka. out of the sediment load carried by the river, 2micron the clay fraction was analyzed for total heavy metal contents and advanced statistical techniques such as cluster analysis and correlation matrix were applied in order to investigate the source of heavy metal concentration in the sediments...

The endocrine-disrupting equivalents in effluents from three chemical industry wastewater treatment systems in the vicinity of Yangtze River were determined by several transactivation reporter gene assays. Transient transfections of African green monkey kidney cell line (CV-1) were used to determine the estrogenic, anti-androgenic and anti-thyroid equivalents in the effluents. Organic extracts ...
