| Abstract | A biotic ligand model (BLM) was developed to estimate Cu toxicity to lettuce (Lactuca sativa) in terms of root elongation after 4 d of exposure. Effects of $Na^{+},$ $K^{+},$ $Ca^{2+},$ and $Mg^{2+}$ on Cu toxicity were examined. The addition of these cations resulted in a 50-fold difference in the copper median effective activity (). However, these variations could not be interpreted entirely as a function of the concentrations of these cations alone. In particular, only the relationship between and the activity of protons was found to be significant in the whole range of pH examined from 5.0 to 7.0. The addition of $K^{+},$ $Na^{+},$ $Ca^{2+},$ and $Mg^{2+}$ at concentrations up to 20 mM resulted in a 16-fold difference in values. This difference was significant, as indicated by non-overlapping standard deviations of the negative logarithm of () obtained with (7.37 ± 0.22) and without (6.76 ± 0.22) additions of $K^{+},$ $Na^{+},$ $Ca^{2+},$ and $Mg^{2+}.$ The variations were not statistically significantly related to concentrations of these cations; therefore, only protons can be integrated in the BLM predicting Cu toxicity to lettuce L. sativa with the important parameters: log $K_{HBL }= 6.27,$ log $K_{CuBL }= 7.40,$ and = 0.36 at pH = 7. The lack of significant relationships between and concentrations of the cations was not in line with the main assumption of the BLM about the competition between cations for binding sites. Environ.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
