The latitudinal gradient in rock-inhabiting bacterial community compositions in Victoria Land, Antarctica.

The Science of the total environment
The harsh conditions in Victoria Land, Antarctica have formed a simple ecosystem dominated by microbes that use rocks as shelters to avoid environmental stressors. The area is composed of basement rocks that illustrate the history of complex deformat...

Production of lipid-containing algal-bacterial polyculture in wastewater and biomethanation of lipid extracted residues: Enhancing methane yield through hydrothermal pretreatment and relieving solvent toxicity through co-digestion.

The Science of the total environment
The feasibility of generating a lipid-containing algal-bacterial polyculture biomass in municipal primary wastewater and enhancing biomethanation of lipid-extracted algal residues (LEA) through hydrothermal pretreatment and co-digestion with sewage s...

The effects of a therapeutic formalin bath on selected immunological and oxidative stress parameters in common carp (Cyprinus carpio).

The Science of the total environment
Formalin is commonly used as a component of antiparasitic baths in fisheries. In this study the impact of this bath on the immune profile and oxidative stress parameters was evaluated. A formalin bath was prepared in the concentration of 185.3 mg L (...

A field-deployable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) method for sensitive analysis of silver nanoparticles in environmental waters.

The Science of the total environment
The proliferation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in the environment and resultant transport into aquatic systems have raised concerns regarding their potential toxicity to various organisms. These environmental and ecological concerns demand reliabl...

Using meteorological normalisation to detect interventions in air quality time series.

The Science of the total environment
Interventions used to improve air quality are often difficult to detect in air quality time series due to the complex nature of the atmosphere. Meteorological normalisation is a technique which controls for meteorology/weather over time in an air qua...

A random forest model to predict heatstroke occurrence for heatwave in China.

The Science of the total environment
Extreme heat events have recently become more frequent and represent an increasing risk of damage to public health. However, the existing prediction of heatwave related health effects has limited representativeness and verification. Our study address...

Prediction of bioconcentration factors in fish and invertebrates using machine learning.

The Science of the total environment
The application of machine learning has recently gained interest from ecotoxicological fields for its ability to model and predict chemical and/or biological processes, such as the prediction of bioconcentration. However, comparison of different mode...

Artificial neural networks: Modeling tree survival and mortality in the Atlantic Forest biome in Brazil.

The Science of the total environment
Models to predict tree survival and mortality can help to understand vegetation dynamics and to predict effects of climate change on native forests. The objective of the present study was to use Artificial Neural Networks, based on the competition in...

Rapid identification of soil organic matter level via visible and near-infrared spectroscopy: Effects of two-dimensional correlation coefficient and extreme learning machine.

The Science of the total environment
Accurate estimation of soil organic matter (SOM) is essential in understanding the spatial distribution of SOM to identify areas that need fertilization and the required grade of those fertilizers. Visible and near-infrared spectroscopy is a promisin...

A novel machine learning-based approach for the risk assessment of nitrate groundwater contamination.

The Science of the total environment
This study aimed to develop a novel framework for risk assessment of nitrate groundwater contamination by integrating chemical and statistical analysis for an arid region. A standard method was applied for assessing the vulnerability of groundwater t...
