ALLEVIATION OF ALLELOCHEMICAL STRESS-INDUCED GROWTH INHIBITION AND OXIDATIVE DAMAGE IN LETTUCE UNDER CLOSED HYDROPONICS THROUGH ELECTRO-DEGRADATION

Alleviation of allelochemical stress-induced growth inhibition and oxidative damage in lettuce under closed hydroponics through electro-degradation

Successive lettuce cultivation in closed hydroponics using the same nutrient solution causes the excess production and accumulation Floor Spray Mop of allelochemicals.The accumulated allelochemicals induce oxidative damage and lipid peroxidation in plants leading to growth inhibition.In this study, we investigated the allelochemicals that induced o

Sustainability effect of geogrid reinforced tire-shred sand mixtures on the load pressure-settlement response of shallow footing

This study aims to observe the possibility of using tire shreds as sustainable waste materials by including a geogrid wrap-around sheet to improve the response of load-settlement of the sandy bed.Therefore, a series of physical modeling tests were conducted to investigate the behavior of tyre-shred-geogrid reinforced sand under static plate loading

Enhancement of antibiotic activity by efflux inhibitors against multidrug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates from Brazil

Drug resistant tuberculosis continues to increase and new approaches for its treatment are necessary.The identification of M.tuberculosis clinical isolates presenting efflux as part of their resistant phenotype has a major impact in tuberculosis treatment.In this work, we used a checkerboard procedure combined with the tetrazolium microplate-based
