TRACE METAL DISTRIBUTION IN TISSUES OF CICHLIDS (OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS AND O. MOSSAMBICUS) COLLECTED FROM WASTEWATER-FED FISHPONDS IN EAST CALCUTTA WETLANDS, A RAMSAR SITE

Background.Metals discharged in wastes from different industries into wetland ecosystems pose a serious threat to the receiving environment.Biotic components grown in the area amass such metals within their body through nutritional uptake and accumulation.The present investigation was carried out to study the extent of accumulation of different was

Energy efficiency (EE) has long been recognized as a source of value to the electricity grid.Especially with increasing penetration of variable renewable generation, demand response (DR) can also provide system value and support the evolving needs of the grid.Yet there has been VALERIAN ROOT little study to date of interactions between EE and DR th

Introduction: The investigation of myopia and soft contact lenses is not new.Many reports show that the wearing of silicone hydrogel lenses as opposed to conventional disposable hydrogel lenses results in little progression B-2 of myopia in the eyes wearing silicone hydrogels.Method: Six subjects wore a silicone hydro-gel lens on one eye while the

Abstract Background Premigratory neural crest progenitors undergo an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and leave the neural tube as motile cells.Previously, we showed that BMP generates trunk neural crest emigration through canonical Wnt signaling which in turn stimulates G1/S transition.The molecular network underlying this process is, however,

Abstract Detecting buried active faults presents the challenge of precisely locating the upper breakpoint, the shallowest point in the Quaternary system where faults occur.Microtremor survey technology, unaffected by urban electromagnetic interference, offers an eco-friendly and efficient method for investigating buried faults and stratigraphic str
