Toads in Qatar: The species present and their probable original source
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
Toads are likely to have been introduced to Qatar, but little information is available on toad populations in the country, including the species present and their probable origin. Therefore, we collected tissue samples for ...
Utilization of nano-olive stones in environmental remediation of methylene blue from water 03 Chemical Sciences 0306 Physical Chemistry (incl. Structural)
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Background: The use of agricultural waste as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of hazardous methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution was investigated. In this research, the potentiality of using black nano olive stones ...
Estimating the age-dependent changes in carbon stocks of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands in Turkey
(
Springer-Verlag France
, 2016 , Article)
Key message Simulated and observed carbon stocks in Scots pine forests varied considerably with stand age. The contribution of biomass to the total forest carbon stocks increased and that of dead organic matter decreased ...
Quantifying ecosystem services supply and demand shortfalls and mismatches for management optimisation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Research on ecosystem services (ESs) has increased substantially in recent decades, but the findings have been slow to affect actual management, perhaps because most studies to date have neglected ESs supply and demand ...
Estimating the production and mortality of fine roots using minirhizotrons in a Pinus densiflora forest in Gwangneung, Korea
(
Northeast Forestry University
, 2016 , Article)
The aim of this study was to estimate fine root production (FP) and fine root mortality (FM) at 0–10, 10–20, and 20–30 cm soil depths using minirhizotrons in a 75-year-old Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc. forest located in ...
Dietary L-carnitine and vitamin-E; a strategy to combat ochratoxin-A induced immunosuppression

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of dietary ochratoxin A (OA), in the presence and absence of L-carnitine (LC) and vitamin E (VE), on the humoral immune responses of White Leghorn cockerels (WLC). One-day old white ...
Enhancement of flocculation and shear resistivity of bentonite suspension using a hybrid system of organic coagulants and anionic polyelectrolytes
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
In this study, the influence of the hybrid coagulation-flocculation system on the flocculation and shear resistivity of bentonite suspension has been investigated. Two short-chained coagulants, polyamine and polyDADMAC, ...
A comparative physicochemical property assessment and techno-economic analysis of biolubricants produced using chemical modification and additive-based routes
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Several edible and non-edible oil sources are currently being developed as renewable basestocks for biolubricant production. However, these feedstocks possess undesirable physicochemical properties limiting their lubricant ...
Hiding in the background: community-level patterns in invertebrate herbivory across the tundra biome
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
Invertebrate herbivores depend on external temperature for growth and metabolism. Continued warming in tundra ecosystems is proposed to result in increased invertebrate herbivory. However, empirical data about how current ...
The combinatory effect of Cyt1Aa flexibility and specificity against dipteran larvae improves the toxicity of Bacillus thuringensis kurstaki toxins
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Cyt1A98 is a novel cytolytic protein, from BUPM98 Bacillus thuringiensis strain, characterized by its synergistic activity with B. thuringiensis kurstaki toxins against lepidopteran larvae. In this study, we evidenced that ...
