Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA Sensitivity Study of the Validation of Three Regulatory Dispersion ModelsKeith D. Harsham, Michael BennettLidar measurements were made of the dispersion of the plume from a coastal industrial plant over three weeks between September 1996 and May 1998, 67 experimental runs were obtained, mostly of 30 min duration, and these were analysed to provide plume parameters (i.e. height, vertical and lateral spreads). These measurements were supplemented by local meteorological measurements at two portable meteorological … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 6,714 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Ten Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) Hybrids Under Greenhouse Conditions in the Aral Sea Region of KazakhstanIbadulla Aigalievich Tautenov, Gulsym Zykriyaevna Sauytbayeva, Rakhym Iskendirovich Kudiyarov et al.Greenhouse cucumber production in the Aral Sea region of Kazakhstan faces unique challenges due to harsh climatic conditions and limited agricultural resources, making cultivar selection a critical determinant of productivity and economic viability. This study evaluated ten parthenocarpic smooth-fruited cucumber hybrids, Multistar F1, Melen F1, Hoyrat F1, Minmax F1, Lami F1, Infinity F1, Magnum F1, Sprint F1, Joki F1, and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 6 Jul 2026 · 1,083 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Cytogenetic Status, Genome Instability, and Adaptive Potential of the Kazakh Tobet DogOksana Cherednichenko, Anastassiya Pilyugina, Dinara Azizbekova et al.In recent years, interest in indigenous dog breeds has increased. The Tobet is a unique breed of Kazakh livestock guardian dogs adapted to nomadic pastoralism that developed over thousands of years across Central Asia and Turkestan. Currently, the Tobet breed faces critical endangerment. Its conservation and sustainable breeding require thorough analysis of hereditary characteristics, genome stability, and adaptive potential.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancement of Geobacillus thermodenitrificans Lipase Activity and Binding Affinity by Acetone Treatment: Kinetic and in silico InvestigationsAmmar Khazaal Kadhim Almansoori, Alyaa Abdulhussein Alsaedi et al.Lipase Geobacillus thermodenitrificans (LipGt) is a thermostable enzyme that has an optimal activity temperature of 65°C. It can tolerate various organic solvents and has an improved activity, especially in the presence of acetone. In this study, in-vitro and in-silico studies were carried out to investigate the effect of acetone in enhancing the kinetic and binding affinity of LipGt. The LipGt … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 10 Oct 2024 · 4,817 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Management and Hormonal Oestrous Synchronisation on Indigenous Sheep Reared ExtensivelyAyanda Maqhashu, Jabulani Nkululeko Ngcobo, Hester Adri O'Neill et al.As the global population increases, demand for animal products will result in increased livestock-related greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. One of the strategies for reducing this impact would be the improvement of indigenous livestock reproductive efficiency that are hardy and well adapted to harsh environmental regions. The use of reproductive technologies increases efficiency of animals necessary for … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 29 Aug 2024 · 4,778 accessesView PDF Cite
