Polystyrene (PS) is one of the major plastics contributing to environmental pollution with its durability and resistance to natural biodegradation.Recent research showed that mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) and superworms (Zophobas morio) are naturally able to consume Electronics PS as a carbon food source and degrade them without observable toxic eff
Natural gas transmission pipelines have a vital role in human life and thus, they are classified as lifelines.Long-term disruption in the pipeline operation due to landslides would have substantial direct FEVERFEW and indirect consequences.Landslides are generally accompanied by large movements of the ground and result in the deformation of the pip
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health problem, seemingly affecting individuals from low-income and-middle-income countries (LMICs) disproportionately, especially in sub-Saharan Africa.Despite the growing evidence pointing to an increasing prevalence of CKD across Africa, there has not been an Africa-wide concerted effort to provide
While bats carry a diverse range of ectoparasites, little research has been conducted on the effects these organisms may have on bat populations.The southern bent-winged bat (Miniopterus orianae bassanii) is a critically endangered subspecies endemic to south-eastern Australia, whose numbers have declined over the past 50 years for unknown reasons.
Abstract Background Scientific data integration and computational service discovery are challenges for the bioinformatic community.This process is made more difficult by the separate and independent construction of biological databases, which makes the exchange of data between information resources difficult and labor intensive.A recently described
