According to Bergmann's rule we expect species with larger body size to inhabit locations with a cooler climate, where they may be well adapted to conserve heat and resist starvation. This rule is generally applied to endotherms. In contrast, body size in ectothermic invertebrates has been suggested to follow the reverse ecogeographic trend: these converse Bergmann's patterns may be driven by t...

The cost-effective and environmentally benign separation of thorium from an aqueous acidic medium using spent food/agro-byproducts was studied. processes followed the Langmuir isotherm model kinetics; were entropic endothermic nature.

Vacuum dried Metronidazole hydrochloride (MTZ) loaded Crosslinked polymeric blend of Poly(vinyl)alcohol (PVA) and Gelatin(GE) in different ratios by 30 freeze/thaw cycles (FTC) tested for stimuli sensitivity and crosslinking at various pH, temperature, ionic concentration and oscillatory test along with dye absorption test showed maximum swelling in alkaline pH and decreased swelling with incre...

Ammonia (NH3) dissociation and oxidation in a cylindrical quartz reactor has been experimentally studied for various inlet NH3 concentrations (5%, 10%, 15%) temperatures between 700 K 1000 K. The thermal effects during both (endothermic) (exothermic) were observed using bundle of thermocouples positioned along the central axis reactor, while corresponding conversions nitrogen oxides emissions d...

expanded graphite nanosheets (eg-nanosheets) were used for adsorption of malachite green (mg) from aqueous solution. the influences of dye concentrations, absorbent dosage, ph values and the temperatures on the adsorption were investigated as well. the dye adsorption experiments were carried out by utilizing batch procedure. eg-nanosheets were initially characterized by scanning electron micros...
