Abstract: Aluminium is the most abundant element in the earth crust, and has no known biological function. However, it is an established neurotoxicant in its trivalent oxidation state, with exposure resulting in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s disease and presenile dementia. Although, the potential genotoxic and carcinogenic effects of aluminium are established in mammalian and other model system, there is however very limited information on... More

Abstract: ENSO (El Niño-Southern Oscillation) phenomena have impacted on the hydrodynamic regime and environmental factors of the tropical ocean in general. In case of Vietnamese South-Central Waters, impacts of ENSO only focused on issues of changing seasonal wind, seawater temperature anomalies, changing of water masses as the air-sea interaction. Based on several data sets collecting in the period of 2003-2017, new finding of seawater temperature,... More

Abstract: The problem of pollution is a topical issue at global, regional but also at the local level. Starting from this idea, the question arises whether the coastal region in the North-East of the Black Sea is affected by the emissions resulting from the combustion of marine fuels in large ship engines, which manage to set in motion floating buildings intended for the transport of goods and passengers. This paper wants to evaluate the variation of the... More

Abstract: A sulfide driven fuel cell is proposed to clean the Black Sea with the simultaneous A sulfide driven fuel cell is proposed to clean the Black Sea with the simultaneous production of energy. The process is hopeful even at low sulfide concentrations, i.e.10 to 25 mg/l being close to the ones in the Black Sea water. The main problem for the practical application of this type of fuel cell are the low current and power densities. The measurement of... More

Abstract: Biofilm forming bacteria are omnipresent in the marine environment. Pseudoalteromonas is one of the largest within the γ-proteobacteria class, and a member of marine bacteria. Species of Pseudoalteromonas are generally found in association with marine eukaryotes. In this work, we present the isolation and characterization of two strains forming biofilm on rock surface and associated with marine sponge. They were identified using 16SrDNA as... More
