Techno-economic and environmental analysis of renewable energy integration in irrigation systems: A comparative study of standalone and grid-connected PV/diesel generator systems in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Water is an essential requirement for agricultural productivity. In the agriculture sector, electricity generated by conventional sources contributes to a substantial amount of carbon footprints for pumping water through tube wells. Over the past few decades, a transitional shift towards renewable resources has increased leading to decarbonizing the environment and is considered as a viable solution for electricity production.

Visible light assisted photooxidative facile degradation of azo dyes in water using a green method.

In this study, the methyl orange (MO) dye has been degraded after screening several azo dyes due to its effective results and being toxic and carcinogenic to aquatic life and humans. An environmentally friendly, economical, and green method for water purification was used in this study using the photooxidative method. Several organic acids were screened for oxidative applications against various azo dyes but due to better results, methyl orange was selected for the whole study.

Green Organo-Photooxidative Method for the Degradation of Methylene Blue Dye.

This study used an organophoto-oxidative material to degrade the toxic azo dye, methylene blue (MB), due to its hazardous effects on aquatic life and humans. MB is traditionally degraded using metal-based catalysts, resulting in high costs. Several organic acids were screened for organo-photooxidative applications against various azo dyes, and ascorbic acid (AA), also known as vitamin C, was found to be best for degradation due to its high photooxidative activity.

Study on the chronic inflammatory injury caused by Ageratina adenophora on goat liver using metabolomics.

Ageratina adenophora (A. adenophora) is an invasive plant that is harmful to animals. The plants toxic effects on the liver have been studied in detail, however, the inflammation aspects of the hepatotoxicity are rarely discussed in literature.

Ageratina adenophora damages the rumen epithelium via inducing the expression of inflammatory factors in goats.

The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effects of Ageratina adenophora on the expression of epithelium tight junction proteins and inflammatory factors in the rumen of goats. Twelve goats were randomly divided into three groups. The first group was the blank control group (n = 3, C) which was fed normal diet.

Effect of dust accumulation on the performance of photovoltaic modules for different climate regions.

In the past decade, solar photovoltaic (PV) modules have emerged as promising energy sources worldwide. The only limitation associated with PV modules is the efficiency with which they can generate electricity. The dust is the prime ingredient whose accumulation on the surface of PV impacts negatively over its efficiency at a greater rate.

Hepatotoxicity effects of Ageratina adenophora, as indicated by network toxicology combined with metabolomics and transcriptomics.

Ageratina adenophora (A. adenophora), one of the prominent invasive plants in the Asian continent has shown toxicity in animals. However, studies examining the gene expression and metabolic profiles of animals that ingest A.

Network pharmacology- and molecular docking-based analyses of the antihypertensive mechanism of .

Herein, network pharmacology was used to identify the active components in and common hypertension-related targets. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were conducted, and molecular docking was performed to verify molecular dynamic simulations. Six active components in were identified; furthermore, 123 target genes common to hypertension were identified.

Techno-economic analysis of PV systems installed by using innovative strategies for smart sustainable agriculture farms.

Hybrid renewable energy sources are sustainable and eco-friendly and challenge the alternative sources of conventional energy production facilities. Pakistan's present energy dilemma is a serious impediment to its economic progress. This paper proposes a techno-economic analysis of commercial-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems for commercial agricultural farms in Punjab, Pakistan.

Antibiograms of Gut Flora of Poultry Farms Workers Reveal Higher Resistance Levels as Compared to Non-Workers.

Introduction: Antibiotics are being used in humans and animals for treatment and control of bacterial infections. Excessive use of antibiotics in the production of poultry is a popular practice, but it poses serious health issues by transferring resistance from farm to humans via food or direct exposure.

Study Objective: The objective of this study was to carry out a comparison of the resistance and sensitivity profile of isolated isolates from sewage of toilets that were in use of workers inside the farm and from sewage of household toilets.

Epidemiology and complications of snakebite in rural area of Badin and Thar Sind, Pakistan.

Objective: To identify the population at risk of snakebite, the peak season and the site of bite.
