Evaluation of Metal Pollution in Wetlands Using Fish as an Indicator
Abstract: The current study has attempted to document the heavy metal pollution in wetlands using fish as an indicator. Heavy metals are one of the most toxic, persistent and widespread groups of contaminants in aquatic systems. Their effects may often occur and remain unrecognized at the individual level but slowly, over a period of time, show up at a population level. Over a few decades globally there has been growing interest …

Experimental Study on Cyanoacrylate as Wound Adhesive
Abstract: Cyanoacrylates (CAs) have been widely used as surgical glues; however, the high cost of medical CA-based glues limits their use in developing countries. Another possible alternative is the low cost α-CAs which are normally used in commercial glues. The lack of toxicity studies of such agents is considered the main obstacle in their medical application. In the present study, we have evaluated the toxicity profile of commercial glue in comparison …

Land Use Planning and Urban Flood Resilience: A GIS-Based Assessment of Master Plan for Delhi in the National Capital Territory of India
Abstract: Rapid and unplanned urbanisation replacing the natural flood absorbing formations has caused socio-economic disruption and vulnerability. Urban flooding has become a major problem in India’s National Capital Region. Unchecked urban growth in the lowlands exacerbates flooding and inadequate drainage systems are unable to cope with the rising rainfall. We need to move from a focus on disaster response to managing floods and building flood resilience. Land use planning is an …

Environmental and Toxicological Implications of Dyes: A Mini Review
Abstract: Synthetic dyes are extensively used in industries – such as textiles, leather, paper, and food processing – due to their vibrant colors and high chemical stability. However, the large-scale release of dye-containing wastewater has become a significant environmental and health concern. Owing to their complex chemical structures, most synthetic dyes are highly resistant to biodegradation, resulting in their long-term persistence in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Their accumulation in water bodies …

Variation of Ground Acceleration with Increase in Lateral Distance
Abstract: Ground acceleration induced by dynamic loading decreases with increasing lateral distance from the source because of wave attenuation and energy dissipation through the ground. Accurate estimation of ground acceleration at different distances is essential for evaluating the safety and performance of nearby structures, particularly in blasting, seismic, and heavy construction activities. This study presents a simplified linear attenuation model for estimating ground acceleration at greater lateral distances using limited measured …
