Abstract The ecological risk resulting from the accumulation of some heavy metals in sediments Iskenderun Bay was assessed using following measures: enrichment and contamination factor, pollution load index ( PLI ), potential RI ). concentrations studied were order: Fe > Ni Mn Cr Zn Cu As Pb Cd Hg. had highest EF values. This situation is most likely due to presence iron, pesticide, fertiliz...

Dust fallout can have diverse impacts ranging from major health problems to environmental concerns. It harbour disease-causing microorganisms and toxic heavy metals, it is therefore critical establish the microbial mineral compositions of dust in a particular site elucidate possible related implications for humans entire environment. In this study, samples were collected Arandis, town Erongo re...

Basmati rice is increasingly recognized and consumed in different parts of the world due to its tastes nutritional properties. This research focused on determining cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), Copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni) zinc (Zn) content locally grown basmati Pakistan assessing risks these values human health. Root, shoot grain samples were taken, along with soil from fiv...

Experience of mice in a complex environment enhances neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus of wild type and transgenic mice harboring familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD)-linked APPswe/PS1ΔE9. In FAD mice, this experience also reduces levels of tau hyperphosphorylation and oligomeric β-amyloid. Although environmental enrichment has significant effects on brain plasticity and neu...

It has been suggested that pathway analysis can complement single-SNP analysis in exploring genomewide association data. Pathway analysis incorporates the available biological knowledge of genes and SNPs and is expected to improve the chances of revealing the underlying genetic architecture of complex traits. Methods for pathway analysis can be classified as competitive (enrichment) or self-con...
