Arsenic (As) accumulation in rice owing to uptake from the soil is a critical human health issue. Here, we studied the chemical properties of As-treated soils, growth inhibition patterns of As-stressed rice plants, changes in the As content of soil and soil solutions, and the relationship between As accumulation and As transfer factor from the soil to the rice organs. Rice plants were cultivate...

We conducted two experiments using marginally Zn-deficient (-Zn) calves to determine which supplemental chemical form of Zn would most rapidly reverse certain Zn deficiency signs and to determine whether a change in protein turnover had occurred in Zn deficiency. In Exp. 1, 40 crossbred beef heifers were allocated by BW to four groups. The control group received 23 mg Zn/kg diet DM from ZnSO4 s...

Protected cultivation is a resource-efficient method of crop production, however, at the same time, it resource intensive. An optimum rate and time fertilizer application required in order to maximize yield vis-à-vis use efficiency. However, these aspects are scarcely studied for tomato under low- medium-tech greenhouses Indian humid sub-tropics. In this regard, two-year study was conducted ass...

ABSTRACT: In Brazil, the optimal dose of phosphorus in cultivation yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis St. Hil.) clones has yet to be defined. This study verified productivity response application P doses and determined critical level nutrient soil leaves. The experiment was developed Itaiópolis-SC, humic cambisol, from 2013 2020. Five were evaluated two (BRS-BLD Aupaba F2) mate. Fertility defined ...

Non-substituted racemic poly(DL-lactic acid) (PLA) and substituted racemic poly(DL-lactic acid)s or poly(DL-2-hydroxyalkanoic acid)s with different side-chain lengths, i.e., poly(DL-2-hydroxybutanoic acid) (PBA), poly(DL-2-hydroxyhexanoic acid) (PHA), and poly(DL-2-hydroxydecanoic acid) (PDA) were synthesized by acid-catalyzed polycondensation of DL-lactic acid (LA), DL-2-hydroxybutanoic acid (...

in order to study of the effect of seed inoculation with pgpr on nitrogen and phosphorus use efficiency of spring wheat in different levels of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers, an experimental was conducted at the research farm of mohageh ardabili university, ardabil, iran during 2012 year. the combination of nitrogen fertilizer in three levels (0, 40 and 80 kg n/ha as urea) and phosphorus f...

This study investigates kinetic and production parameters of a glucose-utilizing bacterial strain, C. eutrophus B-10646, and its ability to synthesize PHA terpolymers. Optimization of a number of parameters of bacterial culture (cell concentration in the inoculum, physiological activity of the inoculum, determined by the initial intracellular polymer content, and glucose concentration in the cu...

Sixteen ceramic specimens were implanted in the femur of mature rhesus monkeys. The specimens consisted of four groups of a basic calcium aluminate composition with additions of 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt% phosphorous pentoxide (P2O5). The increasing amounts of P2O5 caused variations in the resorption rate, microstructure and surface characteristics of the implant. The influence of these variables on ...

The infrared spectra of xPbO (1−x−z)SiO2zP2O5 glasses with a PbO:SiO2 molar ratio of 3:2 and z=0,1,2,5,30,40 and 50 mol% have been examined in the region 4000-400 cm, together with XRD. The structure of PbO-SiO2 binary glass is significantly different from that of P2O5 substituted glasses. The low amount of P2O5 containing PbO-SiO2 glasses results in infrared spectra of the same pattern as 3:2 ...
