Since 1991, the NAD(P)H-aided conversion of resazurin to fluorescent resorufin has been widely used to measure viability based on the metabolic activity in mammalian cell culture and primary cells.However, different research groups have used divergent assay protocols, scarcely reporting the systematic optimization of the assay.Here, we perform exte
Denitrification based on immobilized microbial cellulose may offer an economical replacement for conventional treatment for nitrate removal.The environmental and bacterial biomass may influence the rate of biological denitrification processes.This study aimed to investigate the factors that affect denitrification rates, including carbon sources, pH
The authors give some remarks to the term risk regarding its use for mudra fitted tee the assessment of abandoned mine sites.These remarks are based on the recommendation Geotechnical Investigation and Evaluation of Abandoned Mine Sites developed by the working committee Abandoned Mining of the German Society for Geotechnical Engineering (DGGT) and
To protect the body against environmental threats, cosmetics can play important antiinflammatory and anti-aging roles.Many researchers have developed cosmetic ingredients using natural plant extracts or the active compounds of such extracts.In this study, we assessed the ability of extracts from the seeds of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) to affect s
Tropospheric ozone is a significant air pollutant with severe adverse effects on human health.The complex dynamics of ozone formation, distribution, and health impacts underscore the need for a comprehensive understanding of this pollutant.Despite well-documented health risks, including an estimated 423,100 deaths annually due to ozone exposure, mi
