Widely used potential chemicals

Syzygium boisianum (Gagnep.) Merr. & L.M.Perry, locally named Tram bois, is widely distributed in primary or secondary forests of Vietnam, Thailand, and China. [6] For the first time, the current report provides information on chemical compositions in essential oil of S. boisianum leaves, collected from the northern part of central Vietnam. The obtained oil was also used to assess its antibacterial effects. The biological potential is highlighted by the molecular docking study.

Nano-adsorbents have gained special attention in water pollution mitigation in India since last decade. Two vital properties make nanoparticles highly lucrative as adsorbents. On a mass basis, nano-particles have much larger surface areas compared to macro particles. They can also be enhanced with various reactor groups to increase their chemical affinity towards target compounds. Nano-adsorption techniques are now widely used to remove cations, natural organic matter, biological contaminants, inorganic pollutants, nitrates and arsenic from groundwater, surface water and industrial effluents.

Plant nutrition plays a major role in quantitative and qualitative crop production in bringing sustainability and plants require seventeen essential elements for their normal growth and development. Among these, those elements required smaller in quantity is called micronutrients (Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, B, Cl, Mo and Ni). Micronutrients are essentially as important as macronutrients to have better growth, yield and quality in plants.

The use of a wide range of chemicals to destroy pests and weeds is an important aspect of agricultural practice in both developed and developing countries. This has increased crop yield and reduced postharvest losses. However, the expanded use of such pesticides expectedly results in residues in foods, which has led to widespread concern over the potential adverse effects of these chemicals on human health.

Carbon nanostructures have been widely studied due to their unique properties and potential use in various applications. Of interest has been the study of carbonaceous material with helical morphologies, due to their unique chemical, mechanical, electrical and field emission properties. As such it is envisaged that these materials could be excellent candidates for incorporation in numerous nanotechnology applications. However in order to achieve these aspirations, an understanding of the growth mechanisms and synthetic strategies is necessary.

The Ethiopian Boran breed is one of the cattle breeds widely used in Ethiopia. The breed is well adapted to semi-arid tropical conditions, has a high degree of heat tolerance, is tolerant to many of the diseases prevailing in the tropics and has the ability to survive long periods of feed and water shortage (Ojango et al. 2006). These properties have genetic basis and have been acquired by natural and human selection over generations. They are all essential for successful animal production in the tropics.

At the open burning sites, some metals were present at concentrations over one hundred times typical background levels for soils, including lead, a highly toxic metal. High levels of other toxic metals, including cadmium and antimony, were also present. Numerous classes of organic chemicals were also present in one or more of the samples, including many halogenated (chlorinated or brominated) chemicals. Many of the compounds identified are intentionally used in electronic devices.
