The burial of coffins may pose an environmental and health hazard since the metals that are used in coffin-making may corrode or degrade into harmful toxins. These may leach into the surrounding soils and groundwater. Very little research has been conducted world-wide on the mineral contamination potential of cemeteries, and virtually none in South Africa. The aim of the study is to determine w...

effects of different soil moisture regimes and p application on available and inorganic p forms were studied in four paddy soils, north of iran. a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with two replications was performed in a laboratory study. factors of soil at four levels (two acid and two alkaline-calcareous soils), soil moisture contents at three different levels (air-dry, ...

Di erential Fault Analysis (DFA) against AES has been actively studied these years. Based on similar assumptions of the fault injection, di erent DFA attacks against AES have been proposed. However, it is di cult to understand how di erent attack results are obtained for the same assumption of fault injection. It is also di cult to understand the relationship between similar assumptions of faul...

Agriculture is expected to feed an increasing global population while at the same time meeting demands for renewable energy and supply of ecosystem services such as provision nutrient cycling carbon sequestration. However, current structure agricultural system works against these expectations. The spatial separation crop livestock farms has created negative environmental consequences, bioenergy...

Background Mild to moderate adverse events (AEs) are common after treatment of lymphatic filariasis (LF) and pose a major challenge for the global LF elimination program. We studied changes in cytokine levels and filarial worm components in plasma of subjects with and without AEs following treatment of LF. Methods Participants (n = 24) were hospitalized and monitored for AEs following treatme...

ABSTRACT- Paddy soils make up the largest anthropogenic wetlands on earth. Present study was performed to investigate and compare soil formation of paddy soils with long-term rice cultivation history with non-paddy soils and study the effect of waterlogging on soil pedogenesis. Soil samples were taken from paddy and non-paddy soils derived from the same calcareous parent materials. Some pedogen...
