This paper aims to analyze agronomic drought in a highly anthropogenic, semiarid region, the western Mediterranean region. The proposed study is based on Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Advanced SCATterometer (ASCAT) satellite data describing dynamics of vegetation cover soil water content through Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) Soil Water (SWI). Two indi...

Chromium is a heavy metal toxic for plants that due extensive industrial applications over the last decade, has become a serious environmental pollution. On the other hand, chelator dissolution and absorption of metal by the plant increase and their use in phytoremediation is important. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of chromium and ethylene diamine...

heavy metals in the surface sediments of the two coastal ecosystems of cochin, southwest india were assessed. the study intends to evaluate the degree of anthropogenic influence on heavy metal concentration in the sediments of the mangrove and adjacent estuarine stations using enrichment factor and geoaccumulation index. the inverse relationship of cd and zn with texture in the mangrove sedimen...

the concentration of selected trace metals (fe, cd, cu, pb, and zn) in 30surface sediments were measured using atomic absorption spectrometer to investigatethe spatial and seasonal variations of trace metals along kanyakumari coast, india. toassess the environmental risk of trace metals, enrichment factor, geo-accumulation index,pollution load index, and ecological risk index have been calculat...

AIMS To evaluate whether in situ biomarkers Ki67, mitotic activity index (MAI), p53, mean area of the 10 largest nuclei (MNA10), and whole genome DNA ploidy by flow and image cytometry (FCM and ICM, respectively) have independent prognostic value in urinary bladder urothelial cell carcinomas (UCs). METHODS Ki67 and p53 immunoquantitation was performed in TaT1 consensus diagnosis UCs. MAI and ...
