The disposal of municipal solid waste into the landfills has been recognized as the major source of soil, surface water and groundwater contamination. Municipal solid waste disposal site for the city of Ludhiana, in Punjab, India, has become an overflowing landfill because of the indiscriminate dumping of solid waste at the site. The leachate produced by landfilling site contains a large amount...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Highly vascularized ovarian carcinoma secretes the putative endocannabinoid and GPR55 agonist, L-α-lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI), into the circulation. We aimed to assess the involvement of this agonist and its receptor in ovarian cancer angiogenesis. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Secretion of LPI by three ovarian cancer cell lines (OVCAR-3, OVCAR-5 and COV-362) was tested by ...

BACKGROUND Originally developed for educational use, the Leadership Practice Inventory (LPI) is used to measure leadership practices in nursing research. There is limited reporting of LPI psychometric properties when used to measure leadership practices of nurses. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate psychometric properties of the LPI when used to measure the leadership practices of nurs...

Country-wise Logistics Performance Index (LPI) is insufficient to guide changing policies for different sectors with varied logistics requirements and perspectives. Each perspective has various measures, hence a battery of scales mandated measure the performance an individual sector like marine, agriculture, similar. For marine-product India, scores are transformed combined follow normal distri...

Satellite imagery at multiple temporal, spatial, and radiometric resolutions and spatial extents provides a unique opportunity for examining landscape-level, spatial patterns consisting of a finite set of categories mapped onto regular lattices. Landscape pattern indices (LPIs) have become increasingly popular for quantifying and characterizing various aspects of these spatial patterns. This pa...

This study aims to cluster countries according the logistics performance index (LPI) 2018 data. LPI is one of indicators for measuring sector based on a survey developed by World Bank since 2007 and has been widely accepted throughout world. There are 160 involved in organizing edition LPI. It helps understand their current position develop strategies policies improve world trade. Three cluster...

Pollution resulted from the leachate of the Sanandaj City landfill into Gheshlagh River is an important environmental and health issue, which has endangered the river. Having a population of more than 400,000 and four municipality districts, the solid waste generation rate is approximately more than 300 tons/day in Sanandaj City. The wastes generated are disposed of at the Sanandaj City landfil...

The present study is aimed at characterizing the landfill leachate as well as its impact on the surrounding groundwater in Kolkata, India. Landfill leachate has been seasonally characterized from 2012-2014, indicating the landfill site in methanogenic phase with high contamination of organics, nutrients, salts, and heavy metals. Sixty groundwater samples have been analyzed for twenty two physic...

Moringa oleifera has been used in traditional medicine to treat diabetes. However, few studies have been conducted to relate its antidiabetic properties to proteins. In this study, a leaf protein isolate was obtained from M. oleifera leaves, named Mo-LPI, and the hypoglycemic and antioxidant effects on alloxan-induced diabetic mice were assessed. Mo-LPI was obtained by aqueous extraction, ammon...
