Facile Carbonyl Sulfide (COS) Fixation into Novel COS-Storage Materials Towards Preparation of CdS Photocatalyst for CO<sub>2</sub> Reduction and Promotion of Plant Growth

Carbonyl sulfide (COS) as a tracer for canopy photosynthesis, transpiration and stomatal conductance: potential and limitations

The theoretical basis for the link between the leaf exchange of carbonyl sulfide (COS), carbon dioxide (CO(2)) and water vapour (H(2)O) and the assumptions that need to be made in order to use COS as a tracer for canopy net photosynthesis, transpiration and stomatal conductance, are reviewed. The ratios of COS to CO(2) and H(2)O deposition velocities used to this end are shown to vary with the ...

Carbonyl sulfide (COS) as a fumigant for stored products: progress in research and commercialisation

Carbonyl sulfide (COS) is a potential new fumigant for stored products, patented worldwide by CSIRO Australia. It may replace methyl bromide for many applications on durable commodities and be used as an alternative to phosphine when there is a significant problem with insect resistance. Laboratory and field studies have shown that COS is effective on a wide range of pests at all life stages, a...

Relationships between carbonyl sulfide (COS) and CO2 during leaf gas exchange.

*Carbonyl sulfide (COS) exchange in C(3) leaves is linked to that of CO(2), providing a basis for the use of COS as a powerful tracer of gross CO(2) fluxes between plants and the atmosphere, a critical element in understanding the response of the land biosphere to global change. *Here, we carried out controlled leaf-scale gas-exchange measurements of COS and CO(2) in representative C(3) plants ...

exploring motivation and english test preparation strategies of iranian pre-university candidates during and at the end of test preparation period for konkur examination

the current study aimed at investigating the relationship between motivation and test preparation strategies (tpss) used by iranian pre-university students in their preparation period for the university entrance exam (uee). due to the importance of uee in iran, this study also attempted to show its impact on these two important variables. to this end, 100 pre-university students in an iranian p...
