This work may be the first of its kind to assess the effects of varying inclusion levels of garlic nanoparticles (NPsG) as feed additives on growth and physiological indices in Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ). Garlic contains an organosulfur compound called allicin that can promote growth and strengthen the immune system by stimulating appetite and the intestinal flora, thus enhancing energy utilization. Nanotechnology...

Immunostimulantsare essential in aquaculture because they strengthen the immune system, enhance disease resistance, and improve the health of cultured aquatic species, especially under poor water quality and stressful conditions. They also promote better growth, survival, and antibody production without harmful side effects. As a safe alternative to antibiotics, immunostimulants support sustainable aquaculture and healthier fi...

Butternut ( Juglans cinerea L.) is a rapidly declining tree species threatened by Ophiognomonia clavigignenti-juglandacearum (Oc-j), the causal agent of butternut canker. The introduction of Japanese walnut ( Juglans ailantifolia Carrière), which hybridizes with butternut and exhibits greater resistance to the disease, presents both a conservation challenge and a potential avenue for genetic improvement. Identifying non-admixe...

Aims Saline sandy soils severely constrain sugar beet ( Beta vulgaris L.) productivity due to low nutrient retention, high salinity, and micronutrient imbalances, particularly boron deficiency. Although humic substances, glauconite, and boron fertilization have individually or pairwise improved crop performance, no previous field study has evaluated their ternary, dose-optimized integration as a multifunctional soil–plant mana...

A novel series of pyrazole–1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrids incorporating chalcone/oxime scaffolds ( 10a –10 c , 11a –11 c , 12a –12 i , 13a –13 i , and 14a – 14i ) was synthesized and subjected to an detailed cytotoxicity profile against the NCI-60 human cancer cell line panel. Several derivatives demonstrated broad-spectrum growth inhibition, with compounds 10b , 11a , and 11b emerging as the most active candidates, exhibiting mean...

The disposal of waste oils, particularly waste engine oil (WEO) and waste turbine oil (WTO), presents serious economic and environmental issues due to their high contamination and degradation levels, which reduce the efficiency of direct reuse or conventional recycling. This study investigates a practical approach for upcycling WTO and WEO into high-performance lubricating grease, providing a sustainable substitute for petrole...

Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs), particularly Ni/Fe-Layered Double Hydroxides (Ni/Fe-LDHs), have attracted significant attention as adsorbents for environmental waste removal. This study investigates the desalination effectiveness of Ni/Fe-LDHs in removing sodium salts via ion exchange and their ability to adsorb ciprofloxacin (Cipro) contaminants from wastewater. Batch adsorption tests were conducted to evaluate the removal...
