Abstract: Genus Ansonia of the family Bufonidae, order Anura of amphibians in the Philippines is found only in Mindanao Island. Current classification bares only two species, A. mcgregori and A. muelleri. However, the differences represent individual variation rather than species differentiation. Otherwise proven, these species mus

Abstract: A great number of wastes are generated globally. Traditional disposal strategies have a detrimental effect on the environment as they are often burned in incineration plants or buried in landfills, adding to CO2 emissions and can be potentially carcinogenic. In a bid to repurpose waste products and ultimately reducing pollu

Abstract: Weinan region is a typical water-drinking endemic fluorosis area in China. However, during the investigation of fluorosis in Weinan, we found that there were specific areas with low or even no prevalence of fluorosis under high-fluoride drinking water conditions. These areas were defined as “Safe Islands”. The present study
