After synthesizing Ag nanoparticles and loading onto activated carbon (from olive stone), the adsorption of methyl orange (MO) onto the prepared nanoparticles was studied. In this connection, the effect of experimental parameters such as pH range, reagent concentration, contact time, dosage amount of adsorbent and so on, on the adsorption process were studied. The experimental results were anal...

‘Leadership’ is not a common topic for research in international development. In recent years, however, prominent studies like the 2008 Growth Commission Report noted the importance of leadership in development. This and other studies focused on individual leaders—or heroes—when examining ‘who leads development’. The current article asks if heroes really do lead development. It deconstructs the...

The plant-specific NAC transcription factors play important roles in plant response to drought stress. Here, we have compared the expression levels of a subset of GmNAC genes in drought-tolerant DT51 and drought-sensitive MTD720 under both normal and drought stress conditions aimed at identifying correlation between GmNAC expression levels and drought tolerance degree, as well as potential GmNA...

ATCA H i and radio continuum observations of the peculiar southern galaxy IC 2554 and its surroundings reveal typical signatures of an interacting galaxy group. We detected a large H i cloud between IC 2554 and the elliptical galaxy NGC 3136B. The gas dynamics in IC 2554 itself, which is sometimes described as a colliding pair, are surprisingly regular, whereas NGC 3136B was not detected. The H...

Malachite green is extensively used in the textile dye industry and agriculture as fish pests’ pesticide. Biosorption a type of sorption technique that uses biological sorbent. As now, biosorption viewed simple cost-effective process might be an alternative to traditional pollution treatment methods. Bioremediation one branches bioremediation minimise context incorrect waste disposal. The isoth...
