Rainbow trout were exposed to defined levels of cadmium in their aquarium water for differing periods at a variety of near-lethal concentrations that ensured the survival of the majority of the fish. The gills, liver and kidney together accounted for 99% of the accumulated load of body cadmium in the fish under these conditions. Although the proportion of total cadmium present in the liver rema...

cadmium (cd) is among the most widespread and toxic heavy metal in several part of the world. its toxicity in soil is becoming a severe threat to living organism worldwide. it is one of the main pollutants in paddy fields near industrial areas and highly toxic to plant growth and development of the plants. cd can be easily taken up by plants and enter the food chain. therefore, precautionary me...

The optical biosensor is the emerging research area in field of bio-photonics. black phosphorus zinc sulfide-based hybrid configuration suitable for implementing and analyzing ultrasensitive biosensors. Ag/Zinc sulfide/silicon dioxide/black phosphorus-based has been implemented proposed work using modified Kretschmann configuration. sensitivity improvement designed SPR sensor analyzed different...

Using pharmacological and biochemical approaches, Ca2+ involved in the betulin production in mycelia of Phellinus linteus induced by hydrogen sulfide (H2S) were investigated. The results showed that 2 mM H2S donor NaHS or 10 mM CaCl2 was found to enhance the betulin content in the mycelia of Phellinus to the maximum, which were 112.43 and 93.24 % higher than that in the control, respectively. F...

Photocatalytic water splitting to produce H2 is a promising technology for clean energy generation. However, the use of expensive noble metals, toxicity, low charge separation efficiency and wide band gap semiconductors hampering widespread commercialization. Herein, we showed potential combining BiVO4 nanorods with ZnCdS forming hetero-structure which extend spectral responsive range, separate...

Aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) nanorod array thin film with hydrogen treatment possesses the functions of transparent conducting oxide thin film and 1-D nanostructured semiconductor simultaneously. To enhance the absorption in the visible light region, it is sensitized by cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles which efficiently increase the absorption around 460 nm. The CdS nanoparticles-sensitiz...
