The indoor air quality is much more matter of concern as relative to ambient or outdoor air quality, especially in the context of human health.  However, very few studies have been reported for remediation of indoor ozone by plant species. The main objective of this study is to evaluate ozone deposition velocities and ozone removal effectiveness of three indoor ornamental plant species (Dra...

Variation of hydrochemical conditions, with special reference to adequacy of waters as fish habitats, was traced based on selected hydrochemical parameters obtained during the studies conducted from February 2013 till February 2014 year.

Nature inspired solutions enable biological systems to adapt and accomplish their tasks in very noisy and uncertain environments. Taking inspiration from nature, a novel bacteria controller capable of finding the source of pollution in an underwater medium turbulent environment is presented in this paper. Experiments prove that the controller is capable of performing pollution source exploratio...
