Different batch experiments were conducted to access the effect of pH on removal of heavy metals by T1B1 strain. 100 ml of sterilized SE medium was inoculated into 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask containing 100 µl (107cells/ml) of bacterial suspension with HM (mg L-1): Fe (150), Mn (100), Ni (50), Cd (30), Cu (30) and Zn (50) with pH adjusted to 4, 6.5 and 9. Another set of experiments were set up by inoculating SE medium containing HMs (mg L-1 ): Cr+6 (100, 150, 200), Fe (100, 150, 200), Ni (50, 100,…

Globalization, collaboration, is necessary for sustaining the life of all species. Tsing says, “Precarity is a state of acknowledgment of our vulnerability to others” (29). Anti-globalization, indigeneity without contact, is impossible because Homo economicus is always scoping for a new frontier. If we don’t collaborate with each other - which is to say if we don’t contaminate our lives by intermingling with those humans and other species which we see as radically different from us – then we are…

Philosopher and academic Alan Levinovitz recently offered a think-piece on the use of relativism in public discourse. In it, he makes solid claims against a certain kind of strong relativism, in which any kind of moral evaluation is thought to be unwise. But thankfully, relativism is a more capacious idea, and can help show us how to be more persuasive in our arguments against Trump. Specifically, Levinovitz lambasts “cultural relativism,” which he loosely defines as “reluctance to take one…

How do weed killers work? There are different types of weed killers: a) contact weed killers, b) systemic weed killers, c) selective weed killers, d) non-selective weed killers, e) residual weed killers, and (f) non-residual weed killers. The contact weed killers kill only the part of the plant that the chemical touches, therefore the weed killer must contact most of the plant’s surface. Systemic weed killers kill the weeds by applying throughout the plant’s system. The effect of this kind of…

As herbal medicine benefits claims on internet become wilder and wilder, the public becomes more and more confused about what herbs can actually do. Ironically, the public is not the only one confused. Even the scientists are asking the same questions: does herbal medicine works? How does it work? What is the optimal dosage? The safety issues are what? Who can use it and who cannot?... As the list grow longer, the confusions also grow greater. Luckily, as we speak, more and more research studies…

Task #7 My ecosystem has been affected significantly by humans both positively and negatively. The positive impacts have led to increasing the diversity of species as well as attracting civilians. Throughout the recent years, different kinds of fish have been added to the lake. This has allowed the fish population as well as the lake diversity to increase significantly. The introduction of a new species to the lake provides many opportunities socially as well as environmentally. However, the…

Title: To investigate the reproductive structures of the plants and to understand its importance in the survival of plant species. Introduction: Angiosperms are the dominant form of plant life in most terrestrial ecosystems, comprising about 90 percent of all plant species. Most crop and ornamental plants are angiosperms. Their success results, in part, from two innovative structures: the flower and the fruit. Flowers are derived evolutionarily from modified leaves. The main parts of a flower…

2.1. Substitution of herbal drugs Pratinidhi is a unique concept about the practice of substitute a herbal drug in the absence of an original drug (Murthy, 2004; Sharma, 2007). The word ‘Pratinidhi’ means representation, substitute or vicegerent (Apte, 2006). The concept of ‘Pratinidhi dravyas’ (Drug substitutes) can be traced from the ancient works like Bhavaprakasha by Bhavmishra in 16th century, Yogaratnakara by an unknown author in 17th century and Bhaishajya ratnavali by Govind Das in 14th…

Thatch is an intermingled layer of alive and dead crowns, stems, roots, and rhizomes. A small thatch layer under athletic fields 0.25-0.5 inches can provide stability and padding for athletics, however an excessive thatch layer (>0.5 inches) can prevent water from moving into the soil profile, as well as, create a favorable environment…

Adverse drug events affect millions of patients each year and are responsible for up to 5% of hospital admissions resulting in significant increase in costs of healthcare [1,2]. Drug-drug interactions (DDI) are important adverse drug events because they are often predictable based on previous reports, clinical studies, and an understanding of pharmacologic principles. Some adverse drug events have life-threatening consequences and may prompt the removal of popular medications from the…
