Phenol is a toxic environmental pollutant. Two strains of Bacillus cereus (RC29 and RM4) capable of utilizing phenol as their carbon source were selected to study the effects of various growth parameters such as pH, temperature, volume of inoculum, period of incubation, and the concentration of substrate (phenol) on its phenol degradation abilities and thereby optimizing the growth conditions for their maximum phenol degradation. The minimal salt phenol medium (MSPM) was used.

The lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is among others the most consumed in natura in Brazil, it has nutritional values indispensable to human health, having a low content of calories, vitamins A, B and C, fibers and minerals (phosphorus, iron, sodium and potassium). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), most Foodborne Diseases are transmitted through the consumption of food or contaminated water. Considering the risks of the predominant pathogens in lettuce, this work aimed to find and identify possible microorganisms in lettuce samples.

This article attempted to verify the effects of Dutch disease on the manufacturing industry in Congo using econometric tools and assessed the nature of the relationship between manufacturing sector growth and other macroeconomic variables such as the real effective exchange rate, government spending, etc. Econometric analyses found that the econometric results of the expenditure effect model and the resource reallocation effect model support the Dutch disease hypothesis in Congo. The country's economy has experienced the consequences of Dutch disease.

Illegal gold mining in Katiola Department, a region rich in gold resources, has worrying environmental consequences. The objective of this study is to assess the environmental impact of illegal gold mining by identifying the damage caused by mining activities and proposing mitigation measures. The methodology used includes documentary research, the identification of illegal gold mining activities through mapping and remote sensing, direct field observation surveys and interviews, and finally, the proposal of impact mitigation methods.

Background: Progressive Addition Lenses (PALs) are widely used to correct presbyopia, myopia, and other accommodation disorders, offering a solution for presbyopic patients who require vision correction at multiple distances. However, visual satisfaction and associated complaints among PAL wearers remain a significant focus for improving user experience.

Predicting crop yields is a crucial agricultural undertaking that helps with improved resource management and planning. Because machine learning can scan enormous datasets to find hidden patterns and provide reliable forecasts, it has become a useful tool for addressing the issues given by weather variability in agricultural forecasting.

Surface active compounds such as biosurfactants and bioemulsifiers have emerged as potential biomolecules because of their unique structure and diverse properties that are potentially useful for many therapeutic applications. Biosurfactants and bioemulsifiersof microbial origin have exhibited various biomedical activities such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-adhesive, antibiofilm and anticancer.

Fluconazole is an azole antifungal drug, used to treat serious fungal or yeast infections, such as those affecting the vagina, mouth or throat, lungs, bladder, or blood. It comes in injectable, topical and oral dosageforms. The development and validation of analytical methods are ongoing, interrelated processes carried out during the drug development process. Establishing the suggested analytical method's accuracy, specificity, precision, and robustness for the pharmaceutical industry's analysis of a drug moiety is the main goal of its development and validation.

Germinating wheat known as wheat jwara is the good source of nutritionally important substances, like as antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and dietary fiber. Wheat germination process by different various methods affected wide range of compounds. The varieties selected for the studies conducted inunsoaked and soaked seeds of the different wheat varieties viz Raj 3765, Raj 3077, GW 173, PBW-343, HD 2687, Lok-1, WH-147, and Raj-3777. The germination percentage was found almost the same in both in unsoaked and soaked seeds.

It belongs to a class of beta-blockers that is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest discomfort). The current research focusses mainly on the development of analytical and bioanalytical procedures, as well as the various techniques developed for the estimate of etoricoxib, whether in bulk or pharmaceutical dose form. Because they enable us to use sophisticated analytical techniques to acquire both qualitative and quantitative results, analytical methods are essential for determining compositions.
