background: industrial development has caused the release of various pollutants including heavy metals into the environment. these toxic compounds are extremely dangerous to living beings and the environment due to their non-biodegradability, severe toxicity, carcinogenicity, the ability to be accumulated in nature and the ability to contaminate groundwater and surface water. the aim of the pre...

in the present work, an efficient modified carbon-ceramic electrode by multi-walled carbon nanotubes/ionic liquid nanocomposite (mwcnts/il/cce) was prepared through a simple and repeatable procedure. the introduced modified electrode was used for the study of the electrochemical behaviour and determination of tryptophan (trp) in the presence of uric acid (ua) using cyclic voltammetry (cv), diff...

today the industrial wastes are one of the main problems in the developing countries. discharging the industrial wastewater into environment is harmful for human health and other living creatures.thus decreasing of the pollution load of waste waters is an important environmental issue.adsorption of chemical oxygen demand by biomass wastes can be a proper and low cost method for cod removal from...

Like many coastal zones and estuaries, the Chesapeake Bay has been severely degraded by cultural eutrophication. Rising implementation costs and difficulty achieving nutrient reduction goals associated with point and nonpoint sources suggests that approaches supplemental to source reductions may prove useful in the future. Enhanced oyster aquaculture has been suggested as one potential policy i...

The magnitude of fluxes in the carbon cycle of subtropical and tropical marine habitats is determined by the supply of inorganic nutrients. These habitats have low sea-surface concentrations of nitrate (NO3) and chlorophyll (dubbed LNLC regions), sustain relatively low rates of organic matter production and export, and represent global ocean minima in carbon sequestration potential. The low NO3...

17 The study presents a method to evaluate the response of forest ecosystems to increased biomass 18 extraction based on the integrated ecosystem model ForSAFE. It evaluates the effects of residue 19 removal, intensification of thinnings and a shorter rotation period on a forest site in Southern 20 Sweden. The evaluation includes multiple ecosystem indicators for productivity, carbon storage, 2...
