DIVERSITY AND FUNCTIONAL TRAITS OF INDIGENOUS SOIL MICROBIAL FLORA ASSOCIATED WITH SALINITY AND HEAVY METAL CONCENTRATIONS IN AGRICULTURAL FIELDS WITHIN THE INDUS BASIN REGION, PAKISTAN

Soil salinization and heavy metal (HM) contamination are major challenges facing agricultural systems worldwide.Determining how soil microbial communities respond to these stress factors and identifying individual phylotypes with potential to tolerate these conditions while promoting plant growth could help prevent negative impacts on crop producti

This systematic research synthesis sought to investigate cyberbullying in Nigeria in relation to its concept, prevalence, negative outcomes and intervention.To carry out this review, a systematic search using variations of cyberbullying search terms was performed using some inclusion and exclusion criteria.Results revealed that though some Nigerian

Periodontitis is a chronic, destructive disease of periodontal tissues caused by multifaceted, dynamic interactions.Periodontal bacteria and host immunity jointly contribute to the pathological processes of the disease.The dysbiotic microbial communities elicit an excessive immune response, mainly by polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs).As one of t

This paper concentrates on analyzing the stability problems of aperiodic sampled-data systems with time delay.Based on Lyapunov theory, a new time-square-dependent two-side looped-functional (TTLF) is proposed, which can take full advantage of the second order terms with respect to time.And by using the Breakaway Jersey intrinsic relationships of s

A system for recognizing surface defects in marble slabs is proposed.The pattern recognition method based on segmentation methods was further developed.The algorithm of the recognition system.The article describes methods for determining damage from digital images on various hard surfaces.Research in this field is relevant for a wide range of indus
