The packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), WBC, and muscle ChE activity were significantly correlated with snout-vent length (SVL). The correlation was inversed in the case of MCHC, WBC, and muscle ChE, while the correlation was positive between PCV and SVL. Most examined parameters presented similar values when frogs were sampled at night following capture or the next morning. Total red blood cells (RBCs) count, and plasma enzymatic activities of ChE and GST were the only parameters that presented significantly increased values in morning samplings compared with night samplings. Overall, the current study indicates that it is best to sample the frogs as soon as possible after capture if hematologic or plasmatic biomarkers are examined. Nevertheless, it is possible to sample on the next morning if tissular biomarkers are employed.With the continuous development of green manufacturing concept, more and more enterprises attempt to increase their green investment to promote the utilization of resources. In order to help enterprises make the optimal green investment decision, firstly, this paper constructs a duopoly competition game model based on the manufacturer's limited rationality. Then, the Nash equilibrium solution of the system is discussed by using the reverse induction method. Finally, the system is simulated to study the green input decision and the impact of green input cost on the manufacturer's output and profit. By adding external control signals, the chaos state of duopoly competition game model is restrained. The results show that the manufacturer's optimal green investment portfolio lies in the stable region of Nash equilibrium. Secondly, in the duopoly competition game model, when the initial value of green input adjustment rate and cost changes slightly, the evolution of production and profit of manufacturing enterprises will be greatly different. Thirdly, the study revealed that the addition of external control signals can effectively control the chaotic situation of the market and subsequently restore the order of the participants and the market. Therefore, our research provides a reference for enterprises to make green input decision; improve the efficiency and rationality of enterprise management and further promote the green development of enterprises.Magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) were applied in an anaerobic semi-continuous tank reactor (ASTR) to investigate its effect on the anaerobic digestion (AD) of acetate synthetic wastewater. The Fe3O4 NPs corrosion could create a more favorable micro-environment to enhance the methanogens activity. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency and methane production in test (ASTRT) were 31.1% and 101.5% higher than those in control (ASTRC). With the addition of Fe3O4 NPs, the concentration of key coenzyme (F420 and M) increased from averagely 0.523 and 5.352 μmol/g-VSS to 0.956 and 9.267 μmol/g-VSS, and the content of soluble microbial products (SMPs) significantly increased. Additionally, the high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing further confirmed that the percentage of hydrogen-utilizing methanogens (Methanolinea) was up to 62.6% of total archaeal sequences. Fe3O4 NPs addition would accelerate electrons transfer from acids oxidizers to syntrophic methanogenesis, further stimulate acids oxidizers to decompose acetate to H2/CO2, and finally facilitate more methane production.The effect of surface chemistry and morphology of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on their adsorption capacity towards dimetridazole (DTZ) and metronidazole (MNZ) antibiotics from water solutions was investigated in this work. The CNTs studied were single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), CNTs doped with nitrogen (N-CNTs), multiwalled CNTs (MWCNTs), and MWCNTs functionalized with carboxylic groups (MWCNT-COOH). The experimental adsorption equilibrium data were best interpreted with the Redlich-Peterson (R-P) isotherm model. At T of 25 °C and pH of 7, the capacities of adsorption decreased as follows SWCNT > MWCNT > N-CNT ≈ MWCNT-COOH, and the maximum capacities of SWCNT towards MNZ and DTZ were 101 mg/g and 84 mg/g, correspondingly. The SWCNT had the highest adsorption capacity because SWCNT presented the largest surface area, and was the only nanomaterial with a basic surface.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Erlotinib-Hydrochloride.html  The adsorption of both antibiotics on the CNTs was predominantly ascribed to the π-π stacking. The basic groups promoted the π-π stacking interactions and favored the adsorption capacity towards MNZ and DTZ. The capacity of SWCNT for adsorbing MNZ was lessening substantially by reducing the pH from 11 to 2, and the electrostatic interactions caused this trend. The Sheindorf-Rebuhn-Sheintuch adsorption model interpreted the data for the competitive adsorption of DTZ and MNZ on SWCNT adequately.Metal(loid) contamination of vital food grains such as wheat and rice is a very serious problem throughout the world because consumption of such contaminated food can lead to severe health effects in humans. Metal(loid) contamination of food crops can occur from different sources such as contaminated soil, irrigation water, and aerial deposition. Therefore, the present study was conducted to analyze potential non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health impacts posed by different metal(loid)s (As Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se, and Zn) via consumption of wheat and rice grown on metal(loid)-contaminated soils in areas around rivers (Beas and Sutlej) of Punjab, India. Among the metal(loid)s analyzed in wheat and rice samples, contents of As, Cd, Cr, Ni, and Pb were found to be above the international (FAO/WHO and EU) maximum permissible limits. The non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risk assessment of individual metal(loid)s revealed that As posed highest risk followed by Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Pb. The values of indices calculated for analysis of combined non-carcinogenic, i.e., (hazard index; range 3.49-15.94) and carcinogenic (total carcinogenic risk index; range 8.30 × 10-4-131.62 × 10-4) risks for both crops were found to be many fold higher than the prescribed limits of 1.0 and 1.0 × 10-4, respectively. Thus, the analysis of combined risks posed by metal(loid)s indicated that human population consuming wheat and rice from the study area faced both non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks. Therefore, immediate steps must be taken to reduce the levels of metal(loid)s in wheat and rice from the study area.
