Abstract:
... Black carbon (BC) has importance regarding aerosol composition, radiative balance, and human exposure. This study adopted a backward-trajectory approach to quantify the origins of BC from anthropogenic emissions (BCAn) and open biomass burning (BCBB) transported to Xishuangbanna in 2017. Haze months, between haze and clean months, and clean months in Xishuangbanna were defined according to daily P ...

Abstract:
... Examining the contribution of fossil fuel CO₂ to the total CO₂ changes in the atmosphere is of primary concern due to its alarming levels of fossil fuel emissions over the globe, specifically developing countries. Atmospheric radiocarbon represents an important observational constraint and utilized to trace fossil fuel derived CO₂ (CO₂ff) in the atmosphere. For the first time, we have presented a ...

Abstract:
... The butter catfish, Ompok bimaculatus, belonging to the silurid family, is widely regarded as an important food fish for aquaculture diversification in India. Furthermore, the species poses a threat due to habitat degradation and other anthropogenic factors, and has been categorised as “near threatened”, therefore, its culture promotion is warranted. To establish a successful breeding programme, a ...

Abstract:
... Temperature can be considered as pro-oxidant factor that favor the generation of ROS on the species with lower antioxidant efficiency may leads to affect the level of tolerance. So the basic antioxidant enzyme activity (LPO, CAT, SOD, GPx and GST) of gastropod Nerita oryzarum was evaluated at six stations which located between the thermal effluent discharges points from Tarapur Atomic Power Statio ...

Abstract:
... The diversification or decoupling of production chains from China to alternative Asian countries such as India or Indonesia would impact the spatial distribution of anthropogenic emissions, with corresponding economic impacts due to mortality associated with particulate matter exposure. We evaluated these changes using the Community Earth System Model, the Integrated Exposure-Response (IER) model ...

Abstract:
... The accurate and efficient computational modelling framework for computation of reference evapotranspiration (ET₀) is the need of time and is highly essential for several agricultural, hydrological and hydro-climatological studies and applications. ET₀ has its own role especially for the water resource system management including irrigation water allocation and management, utilization and demand a ...

... Though it is almost two decades since it was first introduced for commercial cultivation, the scientific community seems not to have reached a consensus yet on the success or failure of Bt cotton in India. In this context, we attempt to find out the effects of Bt on input use and yield in cotton crop using a panel data for 21 years from the nine major cotton-growing states of the country. The resu ...
... Uraria prunellifolia and U. paniculata are medicinally important, and rare in occurrence. The former is believed to be extinct in some parts of India, and the latter was recently rediscovered. The nomenclatural history of U. prunellifolia and U. paniculata is discussed here, and both the names are typified. ...
... Through qualitative studies, we examine how sustainable entrepreneurs frame the positive and negative societal as well as environmental impacts created by their entrepreneurial activities. According to framing literature, entrepreneurs use framing as a communicative strategy to guide an audience's attention on selected features of their ventures. Based on in-depth interviews with ten sustainable v ...
