Abstract Background Salinity stress is a major limiting factor for plant growth, particularly in arid and semi-arid environments.To mitigate the detrimental effects of salinity stress on vegetable production, selenium (Se) biofortification and grafting onto tolerant rootstocks have emerged as effective and sustainable cultivation practices.This stu
Biological threats go beyond infectious disease epidemics.A biological threat should be construed as the effects of deployment of biological warfare or the occurrence of biological events of natural origin, which can have significant impact on the breach of security in the military, social, ecological and biological context.Biological factors are o
Lignocellulosic agricultural side products like wheat straw are widely seen as an important contribution to a sustainable future economy.However, the optimization of biorefinery processes, especially the pretreatment step, is crucial for a economical viable biorefinery.As an attempt to do so, wheat straw was subjected to a Liquid Hot Water (LHW) tr
In this paper, the effects of transverse cracks on rotating shaft were studied.According to earlier works, crack shaft failure decrease the critical speed of the shaft and also exhibit a nonlinear vibration behaviour leading to increases the amplitude of 1X and 2X harmonics (first and second order of rotational speed in torsional vibration).This su
