Formulation and Efficacy Testing of Nano-Biofertilizers in Reducing Chemical Fertilizer Dependence

Adeel Asghar

Chemical fertilizer overuse in Pakistan’s wheat systems has led to low nutrient use efficiency, soil degradation, and rising input costs, while conventional biofertilizers suffer from poor storage viability and rapid field decline. This study developed and evaluated a chitosan-zinc oxide…...

Deforestation and Biodiversity Loss: Ecological Consequences, Global Trends, and Conservation Imperatives

Adeel Asghar

Deforestation and the consequent loss of biodiversity represent two of the most pressing and interlinked environmental crises of the twenty-first century. This paper provides a comprehensive examination of the global patterns of forest loss, the mechanisms through which deforestation drives…...

Statistical Climatology of Landfalling Tropical Cyclones in Australia Over 61 Years (1946-2006)

Kamal K Saha, Saleh A Wasimi

Tropical Cyclones (TCs) in the Australian basin have relatively more erratic pathways than other parts of the world. About half the TCs generated in the basin make landfall, but the location of cyclogenesis appears to have a direct bearing on landfall outcome. As the human and economic toll of…...

Theoretical Investigation on DABCO-Mediated aza Michael Reaction of Sulfonyli-Minoindoline and α,β Unsaturated Aldehyde to Construct 3-Sulfonyl α-Carboline

Nan Lu

The first theoretical investigation on DABCO-mediated aza-Michael reaction of sulfonyli minoindoline and α,β-unsaturated aldehyde was provided by our DFT calculation. First, 2-aminotosyl indole is given in equilibrium with 2-sulfonamidoindoline via deprotonation with the help of DABCO. Then, it…...

Postextubation Upper-Airway Obstruction Leading to Negative-Pressure Pulmonary Edema and Hypoxic Cardiac Arrest Despite Apparent Recovery After Sugammadex Reversal: A Case Report

Kyung Soo Ha, Kyu Nam Kim

Postextubation upper-airway obstruction may cause negative-pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) and, rarely, life-threatening cardiovascular collapse. Apparent clinical recovery after neuromuscular blockade reversal does not necessarily ensure adequate upper-airway function.

A 67-year-old…...

Theoretical Investigation on TMSOTf-Promoted Cascade Reaction of Propargyl Alcohol and Protected Tryptamine to Construct Hexahydropyrrolo-[2,3-b]Indoline

Nan Lu

The first theoretical investigation on TMSOTf-promoted cascade reaction of propargyl alcohol and protected tryptamine was provided by our DFT calculation. First, propargyl alcohol is activated by TMSOTf resulting in silyl ether accompanied by release of triflic acid. Then silyl ether undergoes…...
