Summary: Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/Polyethylene oxide (PEO) blended and doped with zinc oxide and titanium oxide nanoparticles affect the crystallinity, optical, thermal, and electrical properties of the nanocomposites films. The interaction between PVA/PEO and ZnO/TiO2 nanoparticles was observed through changes in band intensity in FT-IR results. The addition of dopants reduced the crystallinity index, and laser ablation time affected the Egopt values. The fabricated PVA/PEO-ZnO/TiO2 NPs nanocomposites films exhibited improved AC conductivity and dielectric characteristics for electrical applications.

Summary: The aim of this study was to find a bacteria isolate that is tolerant to cadmium (Cd2+) and has the ability to remediate contaminated soil from a KNO3 processing unit. Out of 19 isolates, one isolate, identified as Enterobacter hormaechei SFC3 through molecular characterization, showed superior tolerance to Cd2+ compared to others. The identified strain contained 55% GC content and 45% AT content. The wild and acridine orange mutated E. hormaechei SFC3 exhibited excellent resistance to Cd2+ up to a concentration of 1500 μg mL(-1). Furthermore, both the wild and mutated strains showed significant Cd2+ remediation capability. The findings suggest that E. hormaechei SFC3 is a promising candidate for microbial remediation of Cd2+ contamination.

Summary: Due to its simple process, environmental friendliness, and low operating costs, biometallurgy has become a popular technology for metals recovering from low-grade ores and tailings. An optimized agar was used to isolate and grow functional bacteria, resulting in the successful isolation of six functional stains. These strains were further tested for their ability to leach metals from polymetallic sulfide tailings, with significant improvements observed when the strains were mixed together. The selection of leaching process should be based on tailings composition and target metals.

Summary: This study examines the association between urban Green and blue spaces (GBS) exposure and Emotion and behavior problems (EBP) in youth populations. The findings suggest that higher exposure to GBS, particularly green spaces (GS) and blue spaces (BS), is associated with a decrease in the risk of developing total difficulties in young individuals. The joint effect of GS and BS may also contribute to the decrease in EBPs.

Summary: The present study investigated the sustainable approach for wastewater treatment using waste algal blooms. The biochar produced by the marine algae Ulva reticulata was used to remove chromium, nickel, and zinc from aqueous solutions. The study examined the adsorbents' properties and stability using SEM/EDX, FTIR, and XRD. The results showed that the biochar had high removal efficiency for the toxic metals, and the packed bed column effectively removed the heavy metal ions. The Thomas and Adams-Bohart models were found to best fit the regression values, and desorption studies were conducted to understand the sorption and elution processes.

Summary: The selection of predictor variables is crucial in building a digital mapping model for potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soil. Traditionally, spatial and spectral parameters have been used as predictor variables, but the temporal dimension is often overlooked. This study demonstrates the value of incorporating temporal indices in the model, leading to significant performance improvements. The temporal-spatial-spectral covariate combinations used in a random forest (RF) algorithm achieve satisfactory mapping accuracy and outperform other methods.
