The AgBr and Ag(2)Se nanoparticles (NPs) have been synthesized for the first time from two single source precursors ([Ag(2)(L)(2)Br(2)] (1) and [Ag(L-HBr)(2)]BF(4) (2) respectively) designed using the same ligand 3-benzyl-1-(2-phenylselanyl-ethyl)-3H-imidazolium bromide (L). The ODE-ODA-OA (1 : 1 : 2) and TOP-OA (1 : 2) are most suitable solvents for thermolysis of 1 and 2 respectively, resulting in the NPs. The composition of the solvent used in thermolysis affects the purity of NPs. The bonding of L in 1 is unique, as it has a pre-carbene site intact.

Background And Aims: Since salinity stress may occur across stages of rice (Oryza sativa L.) crop growth, understanding the effects of salinity at reproductive stage is important although it has been much less studied than at seedling stage.
Methods: In this study, lines from the Rice Diversity Panel 1 (RDP1) and the 3000 Rice Genomes (3KRG) were used to screen morphological and physiological traits, map loci controlling salinity tolerance through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and identify favorable haplotypes associated with reproductive stage salinity tolerance.

This study explores the problem of train scheduling (or) train timetabling and its impact on the administration of railway management. This is a highly dependable and effective public transportation system. The problem considers both single and multiple tracks along with multiple platforms with varying train capacities (like speed, passengers, and so on).

Polycyclic aromatic compounds and petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) are hazardous pollutants and seriously threaten the environment and human health. However, native microbial communities can adapt to these toxic pollutants, utilize these compounds as a carbon source, and eventually evolve to degrade these toxic contaminants. With this in mind, we isolated 26 bacterial strains from various environmental soil samples.

Background And Purpose: The interaction between language and other cognitive networks in patients harboring brain tumors is poorly understood. We studied the modification of the cognitive control network (CCN) induced by brain tumors and its participation in language reorganization. We hypothesized that patients with brain tumors and reorganized language would show modification of the CCN compared to patients who remain left dominant.
