A simple and efficient method to prepare synthetically useful 2-arylindoles is presented, using a heterogeneous Pd catalyst and diaryliodonium salts in water under mild conditions. A remarkably low leaching of metal catalyst was observed under the applied conditions. The developed protocol is highly C-2 selective and tolerates structural variations both in the indole and in the diaryliodonium s...

Poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS) is an elastomeric polymer which is attracting increasing interest for biomedical applications, including cartilage regeneration. However, its limited mechanical properties and possible negative effects of its degradation byproducts restrict PGS for in vivo application. In this study, a novel PGS-bioactive glass fiber (F18)-reinforced composite was developed and cha...

Salinity is one of the important abiotic factors for any crop management in irrigated as well as rainfed areas, which leads to poor harvests. This yield reduction in salt affected soils can be overcome by improving salt tolerance in crops or by soil reclamation. Salty soils can be reclaimed by leaching the salt or by cultivation of salt tolerance crops. Salt tolerance is a quantitative trait co...

Biochar is gaining significant attention due to its potential for carbon (C) sequestration, improvement of soil health, fertility enhancement, and crop productivity quality. In this review, we discuss the most common available techniques biochar production, main physiochemical properties biochar, effects on including physical, chemical, biological parameters quality fertility, nutrient leaching...

due to the lack of fresh water resources, the use of saline water for the production of plants such as wheat and kochia is inevitable. to sustain production, the effect of saline water on the plants and soil in each region must be studied. therefore in this paper, the effects of irrigation with saline water to produce plants such as wheat and kochia, as well as changes in the soil salinity prof...
