It is important to understand the response of vegetation dynamics and surface water budget to the changing climate. To investigate the effects of vegetation and climate change on evapotranspiration and runoff on a basin scale, the SSiB4T/TRIFFID (SSiB4/TRIFFID coupled with TOPMODEL) is used to perform long-term dynamic simulations of vegetation succession and the water balance under different climate scenarios for a subalpine basin. The results of all experiments show that fraction of vegetation changes from a dominance of C3 grasses to tundra shrubs and then gradually approaches equilibrium with a dominance of forests. Change to evapotranspiration is very sensitive to temperature changes but is not sensitive to precipitation changes when the temperature remains unchanged. Runoff is very sensitive to changes in both temperature and precipitation. In the increase of temperature, evapotranspiration of forests increases the most among the three vegetation types. From the control run to the [T+5, (1+40%)P] run (A temperature increase of 5 °C, an increase in precipitation of 40%), the role of forests in increasing runoff changes to a reduction in runoff.

A decrease in the utilization of fossil energies, mainly by replacing them with renewable energy sources (RESs), is regarded as a potential energy source in today’s applications. RESs are broadly utilized for heating purposes and particularly with applications in solar water heater (SWH). Despite the accessibility of SWH technologies and their affordable prices in Iran, there is no comprehensive study to explain the potential of Iranian regions to supply hot water for household applications. This one-year work, hence, attempts the first dynamical simulation of a solar heating system to provide sanitary hot water (SHW) as well as hot water demanded to heat 47 stations in Iran. Weather data were extracted from METEONORM and environmental-technical analyses performed by thermal solar (TSOL) software. Stations were ranked based on CCR and BCC models in data envelopment analysis (DEA) method using GAMS V 24.1. As with results, a total of 223.1 MWh solar heat is generated annually from all stations that prevent the emission of 64.5 t CO2 every year. According to CCR and BCC models, Bandar Abbas, Chabahar, Fasa, Iranshahr, Kermanshah, Khoramabad, Sarab, Shahr-e-kord, Yasuj, Zanjan, and Zahedan are the best in this regard. Also according to the economic analysis, the average price of home solar heating in Iran is 0.160 $/kWh.
在今天的应用中,减少化石能源的利用,主要是用可再生能源代替化石能源,被认为是一种潜在的能源。RESs广泛用于加热目的,特别是在太阳能热水器(SWH)中的应用。尽管在伊朗,SWH技术的可获得性和可承受的价格,但没有全面的研究来解释伊朗地区为家庭提供热水的潜力。因此,这项为期一年的工作尝试首次对太阳能加热系统进行动态模拟,以提供卫生热水(SHW)以及伊朗47个站所需的热水。气象数据提取自METEONORM,环境技术分析由热太阳能(TSOL)软件进行。采用GAMS V 24.1数据包络分析(DEA)方法,基于CCR和BCC模型对站点进行排名。其结果是,所有站每年总共产生223.1兆瓦时的太阳能热量,每年防止排放64.5吨二氧化碳。根据CCR和BCC模型,阿巴斯港、恰巴哈尔、法萨、伊朗沙赫尔、克尔曼沙阿、霍拉马巴德、萨拉布、沙赫尔-e-kord、Yasuj、赞詹和扎黑丹在这方面是最好的。同样根据经济分析,伊朗家庭太阳能供暖的平均价格为0.160美元/千瓦时。

Transport noise is a serious problem in cities and has a negative impact on both health and economics. In addition to the aforementioned unnoticed health effects, traffic noise has also been identified as one of the leading causes of sleep disorders, annoyance and negative cardiovascular effects. This research consists of three parts: part one involves onsite measurements of traffic noise in Trakai town; part two simulates traffic noise at different average vehicle speeds; part three assesses the number of people affected by traffic noise. The carried-out simulation has demonstrated that the noise level changes very slightly at different average vehicle speeds. It should be noticed that more noise is generated at average vehicle speed of 30 km/h rather than at 50 km/h. The assessment of the annoyance level has disclosed that an average vehicle speed of 30 km/h should cause the highest level of annoyance (highest – 26.8%).

A mathematical model of nitrate removal in woodchip denitrification bioreactor based on field experiment measurements was developed in this study. The approach of solving inverse problem for nonlinear system of differential convection-reaction equations was applied to optimize the efficiency of nitrate removal depending on bioreactor’s length and flow rate. The approach was realized through the developed algorithm containing a nonlocal condition with an incorporated PI controller. This allowed to adjust flow rate for varying inflow nitrate concentrations by using PI controller. The proposed model can serve as a useful tool for bioreactor design. The main outcome of the model is a mathematical relationship intended for bioreactor length selection when nitrate concentration at the inlet and the flow rate are known. Custom software was developed to solve the system of differential equations aiming to ensure the required nitrate removal efficiency.

Oxidative stress occurs in plant due to various environmental stressors like drought, high temperature, pathogen invasion, heavy metals, pesticides etc. when plant faces these conditions, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in the chloroplast, mitochondria, plasma membrane, peroxisomes, ER and cell wall due to the leakage of electrons. Depending upon its concentration the role of ROS is decided if less then it will act as a signaling molecule but if in excess it will damage the cellular machinery of plants as the production of species like free radicals would take place. Though to combat these stress plants have antioxidant defense machinery which include enzymatic and non- enzymatic which lower down the level of ROS. Through genetic engineering more tolerant plants are produced which include modification of key genes like transcription factors. In this review article the molecular physiology of plants is discussed where in the factors contributing to stress including biotic and abiotic factors and various mitigation strategies.

Aquatic environments are often contaminated with zinc. Amphibian tadpoles are likely to be exposed to high concentrations of zinc present in these environments. We determined the acute and sub-chronic toxicity of ZnCl2 on Fejervarya limnocharis tadpoles under laboratory conditions. The LC50 values of ZnCl2 were found to be 5.81, 4.32, 3.79 and 3.61 mg/L at 24, 48, 72 and 96 h of exposure respectively. Long-term exposure to sub-lethal concentrations of ZnCl2 induced significant mortality in concentration and time dependent manner. Sub-lethal ZnCl2 exposure significantly altered survival, body length and body weight at metamorphosis. Micronucleus test and comet assay indicated the genotoxic potential of ZnCl2. Significant increase in DNA strand break was observed following ZnCl2 exposure equivalent to 1% of the of 24 h LC50 value. The findings indicate possible adverse to tadpoles inhabiting aquatic environments contaminated with zinc. In addition, the findings may be extrapolated to aquatic organisms of similar torphic status.

Arsenic (As3+) is a toxic metalloid found in the earth’s crust, its elevated concentration is a concern for human health because rice is the staple grain in eastern part of India and the waterlogged rice field environment provides opportunity for more As3+ uptake. Magnesium (Mg2+) is an important plant nutrient. Present work is a search for reducing As3+ toxicity in plants through Mg2+ application. The findings are quite impressive, the root to shoot biomass ratio showed more than 1.5 times increase compared to the control. Total protein content increased 2 folds. Carbohydrate and chlorophyll content increased two to three times compared to control. On the other hand, Malondialdehyde content showed a decline with the application of increased Mg2+ dose. The in-silico study shows a better interaction with As3+ in presence of Mg2+ but interestingly without stress symptoms. These findings from the research indicate that Mg2+ application can be effective in reducing As3+ induced stress in plants.

Bioremediation is a technique to enhance natural biological processes to rectify polluted groundwater, soil, and even entire habitats. Bioremediation techniques use biological agents to act upon hazardous, toxic materials and subsequently convert them into less toxic substances. Microbes are organisms ubiquitously present in the biosphere. These microorganisms are the main agents that remediate toxic and polluted environmental conditions. Highly polluted areas can be rectified using proper bioremediation procedures and interventions. In this review we have studied the different bioremediation techniques which can be utilized to correct the harmful effects of environmental pollution. In this study we have also emphasized on the benefits of adopting bioremediation as an efficient alternative technique in comparison to the traditional physical and chemical methods to restore the healthy environmental conditions.

Enhanced population growth, rapid industrialization, urbanization and hazardous industrial practices have resulted in the development of environmental pollution in the past few decades. Heavy metals are one of those pollutants that are related to environmental and public health concerns based on their toxicity. Effective bioremediation may be accomplished through “ex situ” and “in situ” processes, based on the type and concentration of pollutants, characteristics of the site but is not limited to cost. The recent developments in artificial neural network and microbial gene editing help to improve “in situ” bioremediation of heavy metals from the polluted sites. Multi-omics approaches are adopted for the effective removal of heavy metals by various indigenous microbes. This overview introspects two major bioremediation techniques, their principles, limitations and advantages, and the new aspects of nanobiotechnology, computational biology and DNA technology to improve the scenario.
