BACKGROUND The extensive and intensive uses of organophosphorus insecticide-quinalphos in agriculture, pose a health hazard to animals, humans, and environment because of its persistence in the soil and crops. However, there is no much information available on the biodegradation of quinalphos by the soil micro-organisms, which play a significant role in detoxifying pesticides in the environment...

Despite the accumulation of substantial quantities of information about epistatic interactions among both deleterious and beneficial mutations in a wide array of experimental systems, neither consistent patterns nor causal explanations for these interactions have yet emerged. Furthermore, the effects of mutations depend on the environment in which they are characterized, implying that the envir...

The issue of management and allocation of resources in cloud computing environments, according to the breadth of scale and modern technology implementation, is a complicated issue. Issues such as: the heterogeneity of resources, resource dependencies to each other, the dynamics of the environment, virtualization, workload diversity as well as a wide range of management objectives of cloud servi...

water contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons has harmful effects on health, economy and environment. in this study, photolysis process for treating petroleum hydrocarbons was investigated. hence different initial cods with different uv-c radiation power were examined. based on the energy consumption per unit of cod removed, cod of 350 mg/l and radiation power of 80 w were chosen as the optimu...

Routing is one of the most important challenges in ad hoc network. Numerous algorithms have been presented and one of the most important of them is AODV. This algorithm like many other algorithm calculate optimum path while pays no attention to environment situations, mobility pattern and mobile nodes status. However several presented algorithm have considered this situation and presented algor...
