Nickel Toxicity Interferes with NO3−/NH4+ Uptake and Nitrogen Metabolic Enzyme Activity in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) حسب Rizwan, Muhammad

"…We evaluated the effects of Ni concentrations on nitrate (NO3−) and ammonium (NH4+) concentrations, and nitrogen metabolism enzyme activity in rice seedlings grown in hydroponic systems, using different Ni concentrations. A Ni concentration of 200 µM significantly decreased the NO3− concentration in rice leaves, as well as the activities of nitrate reductase (NR), nitrite reductase (NiR), glutamine synthetase (GS), and glutamate synthetase (GOGAT), respectively, when compared to the control. …"

Do unemployment benefits affect the choice of debt source? حسب Ben-Nasr, Hamdi

"…Specifically, we examine whether US unemployment insurance (UI) benefits, which reduce unemployment risk, lead to a heavy reliance on bank debt. Through difference-in-difference analysis, we find that firms in states with generous UI benefits tend to rely more on bank debt, supporting the monitoring avoidance channel. …"

Ecotoxicological Assessment of Thermally- and Hydrogen-Reduced Graphene Oxide/TiO₂ Photocatalytic Nanocomposites Using the Zebrafish Embryo Model. حسب Al-Kandari, Halema

"…For the RGOTi, the no observed effect concentration (NOEC, mortality/teratogenicity score <20%) and the median lethal concentration (LC) were <400 and 748.6 mg/L, respectively. H₂RGOTi showed a NOEC similar to RGOTi. However, no significant mortality was detected at all concentrations used in the acutoxicity assay (up to1000 mg/L), thus indicating a hypothetical LC higher than 1000 mg/L. …"

Effect of reinforcement concentration on the properties of hot extruded Al-Al2O3 composites synthesized through microwave sintering process حسب Reddya, M. Penchal

"…Results showed that, as the content of hard ceramic particles increases, it improves overall mechanical properties including microhardness, 0.2% yield strength, ultimate compression/tensile strength, and Young's modulus while the ductility and co-efficient of thermal expansion decreases. XRD patterns and SEM/EDS mapping images show a uniform distribution of Al2O3 particles in the Al matrix. …"
