The recycling of livestock manure in cropping systems is considered to enhance soil fertility and crop productivity. However, there have been no systematic long-term studies of the effects of manure application on soil and crop macro- and micro-nutrients, heavy metals, and crop yields in China, despite their great importance for sustainable crop production and food safety. Thus, we conducted fi...

The zincZeolite Socony Mobil-Five nano-particles (Zn-ZSM-5 NPs) composite was prepared and applied successfully as a new coating material to improve the corrosion resistance of steel. The corrosion type and quality of both pure zinc and our new coating material, Zn-ZSM-5 NPs, were studied using mass loss, impedance and electro-chemical polarization techniques in a sodium chloride solution. Obta...

Micronutrients are known to play an important role in the metabolism and physiological activities of the human body. Unfortunately, over three billion people in the world are malnourished. The development of crops with enhanced mineral concentration is one of the most sustainable and cost effective approaches for alleviating micronutrient malnutrition. This review focuses on the progress made i...

Plant nutrition has a vital role in crop production. This study was performed to investigate the effects of different application methods some nutrients (nano Fe, Zn, and Ti), gibberellin on yield, morphophysiological grain protein white beans 2018 as factorial experiment randomized complete block design with four replications. Experimental factors included seed priming (hydropriming, priming, ...

The availability of nitrogen (N) and zinc (Zn) at the specific plant growth stage is crucial for attaining higher nutrient use efficiency (NUE) uptake. An experiment was conducted, having 4-N scheduling [No N; ½[basal]+ ½[3rd visible leaf (VL)]; ¼[basal]+ ½[3rdVL]+ ¼[panicle extended in flag sheath (PEFLS)]; ½[basal] + ¼[3rdVL]+ (PV)], 4-Zn Zn; 2.5 kg/ha [basal]+ 0.25% spray(*) [panicle initiat...

Abstract The formation of the Zr-containing phases during solidification Mg-Zn-Zr alloy is simulated, structure compounds and solid solution amount Zr in α -Mg as well grain size as-cast are measured. Based on this, existing form element its action mechanism refinement discussed. results show that either -Zr or precipitates first from melt at beginning due to different content, then some Zn-Zr ...

The effect of frequency and sintering temperature on initial permeability of Ni0.55Zn0.45Fe2O4 ferrites have been studied by using an impedance analyzer. The samples were prepared by conventional double sintering ceramic technique using oxide nanoparticles of grain size 30 50 nm. Single phase spinal structure has been confirmed for the prepared samples by X-ray diffraction. As the sintering tem...

The soliton propagating in a horizontal granular chain with Hertzian contact damps due to graity in a vertical chain. We find that the type of damping is power-law in depth and the exponent of power-law for the amplitude approaches −1/12 for weak impulse. We also show that other quantities such as grain velocity, kinetic energy, and number of grains participating to signal as well as phase and ...
