Industrialization in the PRD has brought about great economic growth and contributed to rise consolidation of this deltaic region as a key global player. However, it also generated severe environmental imbalances pollution vital non-renewable resources, such soil, water air. Nowadays, increasing shift towards service-oriented innovation-driven sectors makes abandoned decommissioned industrial a...

Mangrove ecosystems help mitigate climate change, are highly biodiverse, and provide critical goods and services to coastal communities. Despite their importance, anthropogenic activities are rapidly degrading and deforesting mangroves world-wide. Madagascar contains 2% of the world’s mangroves, many of which have undergone or are starting to exhibit signs of widespread degradation and deforest...

we quantified the distribution, abundance and assemblage structure of macrofauna at 22 stations in gorgan bay, seasonally in 2012-2013. also, depth, temperature, salinity, do, tom and sediment particle size were measured in each station. the highest concentration of tom was measured near the western littoral zone (10.22) while the mouth part and north-eastern area was characterized by the lowes...

PURPOSE As a potential protein therapeutic for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), BAY 55-9837 is limited by poor stability and a very short half-life in vivo. The purpose of this study was to construct a novel nanostructured biomaterial by conjugating BAY 55-9837 to chitosan-decorated selenium nanoparticles (CS-SeNPs) to prolong the in vivo half-life of BAY 55-9837 by reducing its renal clearance...

The current study focused to evaluate one of the important trace metal concentrations in mixed zooplankton from the waters of Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea. The average concentration of copper from northern Bay of Bengal, central Bay of Bengal, southern Bay of Bengal, and eastern Bay of Bengal on dry weight basis was reported as 65.36 g.g -1 , 58.54 g.g -1 , 48.86 g.g -1 , 43.50 g.g -1 resp...

With a good-resolution mountain profile, we simulated the underground muon flux at the Daya Bay site. We modified the standard Gaisser’s formula to describe the muon flux at the sea-level. At large zenith angle or small muon energies, which may be important in the Daya Bay case, the modified formula describe the experimental data much better than the standard one. MUSIC code was used to transpo...

The racemic prodrug BAY R3401 suppresses hepatic glycogenolysis. BAY W1807, the active metabolite of BAY R3401, inhibits muscle glycogen phosphorylase a and b. We investigated whether BAY R3401 reduces hepatic glycogenolysis by allosteric inhibition or by phosphatase-catalyzed inactivation of phosphorylase. In gel-filtered liver extracts, racemic BAY U6751 (containing active BAY W1807) was test...
