BACKGROUND Routine exposure to chemical contaminants in workplace is a cause for concern over potential health risks to workers. In Pakistan, reports on occupational exposure and related health risks are almost non-existent, which reflects the scarce availability of survey data and criteria for determining whether an unsafe exposure has occurred. The current study was designed to evaluate blood...

In freshwater ecosystems, a variety of factors mediate phytoplankton community structure, including herbivore community structure, light availability, temperature, mixing, and absolute and relative nutrient concentrations (total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP)). Ecological stoichiometry examines how the nutrient content of organisms and their environment may mediate population-, community-...

Background: Multi drug resistance (MDR) P. aeruginosa consider the main cause of morbidity in hospitalize patients suffering from chronic airway infections such as pulmonary disease, pneumonia and cystic fibrosis (CF). Also, rapidly development antibiotic to last generations a broad spectrum were detected for many isolates. Accordingly vaccines have potential prevent treatment infections. Aim: ...

* Email: [email protected]. Abstract – Spectrum matching is one approach to estimating water quality parameter concentrations (chlorophyll a, tripton and coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM)) from remotely sensed images of inland waters. The Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) is a stochastic search technique that can be used to search the solution space for the closest match and deli...
