TL;DR: In this article, an extract of fresh leaves of Pedalium murex was used for the synthesis of silver (Ag) nanoparticles, which were done using different methods, which include; ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDAX), fluorescence emission spectraopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential and antibacterial activity.

TL;DR: The present study recommends that the heavy metal levels are unlikely to cause additional adverse health risks to the aquatic ecosystem associated with this lake.

TL;DR: Results showed that the effect of mineralogy on level of radioactivity should be significant, however, mineralogy effect on heavy metal composition in the sediments should be limited, indicating that other factors such as vicinity of the pollution sources are more important.

TL;DR: Analysis of sediment samples of Ponnaiyar River suggests that the kaolinite is the major mineral to increase the level of radioactivity in the river sediments.

TL;DR: In this article, the thermoluminescence properties of rare earth doped lithium magnesium borate (LMB) polycrystalline phosphor have been investigated and the main dosimetric properties such as glow curve stability, TL response versus absorbed dose, post-irradiation storage stability, and reusability are investigated.
