A diagram showing the possible mechanisms underlying the effects of pH without or with cations on metal nanoparticle stability. At relatively low cation concentration, metal nanoparticles may remain aggregated at pH near the particles' isoelectric point (pH 9, in this case), but gradually dissolve ...
while the violet portion of the diagram represents the adverse outcome expressed in the individual. Finally, the cyan violet portion of the diagram represents response in protein or hormone where links to gene
Humans could also become exposed to particulate plastics through food chain contamination and airborne ingestion. This review provides an overview of the sources of particulate plastics in the environment. To this end, we describe particulate plastics made of synthetic polymers, their origin, and ...
In humans, Streptococcus agalactiae or group B streptococcus (GBS) is a frequent coloniser of the rectovaginal tract, a major cause of neonatal infectious disease and an emerging cause of disease in non-pregnant adults. In addition, Streptococcus agalact
Whales extract the majority of their water from food by metabolizing fat, but they still consume seawater under certain circumstances25. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a key hormone system that regulates blood pressure and water balance in response to sodium level. Notably, we ...
All STs in this diagram share fewer than 4 alleles with all STs that have been identified in homeothermic host species (e.g. humans and seals). Full size image Three-set genotyping Using the method of Evans and colleagues [16], isolates were identified as serotype Ia, Ib or NT. ...
The analysis of the impact of the environmental variables on the macroinvertebrate community composition in constructed stormwater ponds showed that most of the taxa displayed in the ordination diagram were positively correlated with the pond size and the number of ponds within a radius of 1 km, ...
A diagram showing the major modelling disciplines that can contribute to aquatic ecosystem models (AEMs). There is a great diversity among AEMs in the weight given to each component: each modeller should select the most appropriate combination and size of the petals to fit the research question...
the aquatic life, the food chain and human beings. Elevated concentrations of dyes in the aquatic environments can significantly destroy the vital conditions of the environments, limit the penetration of light to the depths of aquatic environments and reduce the dissolved oxygen concentration, ...
A study related to the biomagnification of triadimefon demonstrated stereoselective behavior of triadimefon and triadimenol in a simple food chain of algae–tadpole. The concentration of triadimefon in algae-eating tadpoles was less than that of algae. The biomagnification factor of the enantiomer for th...
