Association between the salinity level with miscarriage and unintended pregnancy in Bangladesh: Impact of salinity level on miscarriage and unintended pregnancy in Bangladesh.

Miscarriage is a significant public health concern worldwide, particularly in developing nations like Bangladesh. Moreover, people in coastal areas are more affected by miscarriage as compared to other areas. Increasing sea levels and salinity is the main reason for this discrepancy.

Rising environmental degradation and impact of foreign direct investment: An empirical evidence from SAARC region.

The Pollution Haven Hypothesis is amongst the latest discussion in economics that investigates the contribution of Foreign Direct Investment in raising environmental degradation in the host countries. Whereas, the concept of the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis had been in economics since 1991 and is extensively studied under the umbrella of environmental degradation. Our present study is focused upon the role of economic growth, Foreign Direct Investment and energy consumption in increasing concentration of Carbon Dioxide in the South Asian region by using panel data from 1986 to 2014.

Comparison of phenotypic versus marker-assisted background selection for the SUB1 QTL during backcrossing in rice.

Marker assisted backcrossing has been used effectively to transfer the submergence tolerance gene SUB1 into popular rice varieties, but the approach can be costly. The selection strategy comprising foreground marker and phenotypic selection was investigated as an alternative. The non-significant correlation coefficients between ranking of phenotypic selection and ranking of background marker selection in BC(2)F(1), BC(3)F(1) and BC(3)F(2) generations indicated inefficiency of phenotypic selection compared to marker-assisted background selection with respect to recovery of the recipient genome.
