The excess loading of nutrients generated by agricultural activities is a leading cause water quality impairment across the globe. Various management practices have been developed and widely implemented as conservation strategies to combat pollution originating from activities. In last ten years, there has also widespread recognition need for nutrient harvesting wastewaters resource recovery. E...

This article's objectives are to investigate the relationship between adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production (oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis) and fertility of bovine spermatozoa, determine the proportion of oxygen consumption devoted to proton leak and that due to nonmitochondrial processes, and discover whether freeze/thawing affects sperm oxygen consumption. Oxygen consumption of b...

The morphologic appearance of the optic disc is of interest in glaucoma. In contrast to descriptive classification systems that are currently used, a quantitative approach to the analysis of optic disc morphology is required. Our goal was to determine the optimal method for quantifying optic cup shape by comparing traditional (ovality, form-factor and neuroretinal rim (NRR) width ratio) and geo...

A computational approach to judiciously predict high-entropy alloys (HEAs) as an efficient and sustainable material class for the electrochemical reduction of nitrogen is here presented. The employs density functional theory (DFT), adsorption energies N atoms N2 molecules descriptors catalytic activity deep neural networks. probabilistic quantifying HEA catalysts reaction (NRR) described, where...

the other hand he found that villages along the ghats* cutting the face of the plateau escarpment were intensely infected and he ll?ted that two particular villages, Angarah Bundkhela, situated at the top of the ghats otherwise apparently quite similar to filftges on the plateau were as highly infected any he had found at the foot of the scarp, ' nrr-^ley are notoriously malarious. His findings...

In low-strength ammonium wastewater (LSAWW) treatment, the application of anammox-based process is still limited due to extreme instability and poor nitrogen removal rate (NRR). this work, granule sludge, comprised functional microbes hydroxyapatite (HAP), was inoculated cultivated in a one-stage partial nitritation/anammox (PNA) reactor for LSAWW treatment. The results showed that at hydraulic...

Abstract Background The use of sex-sorted sperm in cattle assisted reproduction is constantly increasing. However, fertility can substantially differ between unsorted (conventional) and semen batches the same sire. Sperm microRNAs (miRNA) have been suggested as promising biomarkers bull last years. In this study, we hypothesized that miRNA profile cryopreserved conventional related to after art...

With the explosion of the public Internet and e-commerce, private computers, and computer networks, if not adequately secured, are increasingly vulnerable to damaging attacks. Hackers, viruses, vindictive employees and even human error all represent clear and present dangers to networks. Various antidotes that are in fact inextricable with security issues are – Cryptography, Authentication, Int...
