Interaction between indigenous hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria in reconstituted mixtures for remediation of weathered oil in soil
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
It has been demonstrated that biostimulation is necessary to investigate the interactions between indigenous bacteria and establish an approach for the bioremediation of soils contaminated with weathered oil. This was ...
Variant Enrichment Analysis to Explore Pathways Disruption in a Necropsy Series of Asbestos-Exposed Shipyard Workers
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
The variant enrichment analysis (VEA), a recently developed bioinformatic workflow, has been shown to be a valuable tool for whole-exome sequencing data analysis, allowing finding differences between the number of genetic ...
Marine climate change risks to biodiversity and society in the ROPME Sea Area
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The subtropical ROPME Sea Area (RSA), comprising the Gulf, the Gulf of Oman and the northern Arabian Sea, is a heavily exploited sea region that experiences extreme environmental conditions, and for which climate change ...
Thermodynamics, isotherms, and mechanisms studies of lithium recovery from seawater desalination reverse osmosis brine using roasted and ferrocyanide modified date pits
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
In this study, the adsorption isotherms and thermodynamic studies of lithium ions from seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination brine were investigated. Three adsorbents were utilized namely, roasted date pits (RDP), ...
Ameliorative role of dietary activated carbon against ochratoxin-A induced oxidative damage, suppressed performance and toxicological effects
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2022 , Article)
The present study reports that dietary addition of 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 g/kg activated charcoal (AC) in broiler feed contaminated with 0.15, 0.3 and 1.0 mg/kg ochratoxin A (OTA) showed a partial reduction in intensity of mycotoxins ...
In Vitro and In Vivo Validation of GATA-3 Suppression for Induction of Adipogenesis and Improving Insulin Sensitivity
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Impaired adipogenesis is associated with the development of insulin resistance and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). GATA Binding Protein 3 (GATA3) is implicated in impaired adipogenesis and the onset of insulin ...

(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This study characterized and assessed three different process water (PWWs) (S-1, S-2, and S-3) from oil and gas production in Qatar. The wastewater generated in various processing stages contains many harmful components ...
Nickel Toxicity Interferes with NO3−/NH4+ Uptake and Nitrogen Metabolic Enzyme Activity in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
The excessive use of nickel (Ni) in manufacturing and various industries has made Ni a serious pollutant in the past few decades. As a micronutrient, Ni is crucial for plant growth at low concentrations, but at higher ...
Variant Enrichment Analysis to Explore Pathways Functionality in Complex Autoinflammatory Skin Disorders through Whole Exome Sequencing Analysis.
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
The challenge of unravelling the molecular basis of multifactorial disorders nowadays cannot rely just on association studies searching for potential causative variants shared by groups of patients and not present in healthy ...
