Mercury (Hg) is commonly utilized in artisanal gold mining on Buru Island; the Hg-contaminated tailing possibly contaminates the agricultural land nearby.In general, tailings contain very low organic carbon and plant nutrients but are high in mercury and have extreme soil acidity.The objective of this study was to observe the growth of various legu
The growth and drainage of active subglacial lakes in Antarctica has previously been inferred from analysis of ice surface altimetry data.We use a subglacial hydrology model applied to a synthetic Antarctic ice stream to examine internal Safety Inlet Valve controls on the filling and drainage of subglacial lakes.Our model outputs suggest that the h
Abstract Background and objective Salt Protector stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses affecting the yield and quality of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum).Thymol (a natural medicine) has been widely used in medical research because of its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities.However, the influence of thymol on the root growth of
With its well-known biological toxicity, the excessive concentrations of sulfide in tannery wastewaters may upset the biological treatment processes, thus leading to a substantial decrease in the efficiency of treatment plants.The presence of sulfide in wastewaters may dramatically interfere with microbial activities and consequently disturb the fu
