A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the different brands of zinc fertilizer produced and marketed in different areas of Bangladesh and their effect on nutrients content in rice (BRRI dhan 32). Among the nutrients; the content of N, S and Ca in grains and straw did not vary significantly, but the contents of P, K, Na, Mg, Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn in grain and straw varied significantly due to ...

We report first-principles calculations for Fe4Al11-x where 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 and for Fe4Al11-yZny for 0 ≤ y ≤ 1. We investigate the correlation of the magnetic and vibrational behavior with the density of states at the Fermi level. For Fe4Al11-x the magnitude of the magnetic moment correlates with the number of Fe in the chains. However we also find an intrinsic contribution to the magnetism associate...

Zinc, copper, iron, protein and energy intakes of 232 lactating women (consuming self-selected diets during the first 3 months post-partum) were computed from food intake values obtained using a 3 d dietary-recall method. Non-pregnant, non-lactating women (100) served as controls. Blood samples of subjects were also analysed for packed cell volume and haemoglobin concentrations as well as for p...

Zn, K, and Cu effects on the structure and surface area and on the reduction, carburization, and catalytic behavior of Fe–Zn and Fe oxides used as precursors to Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts, were examined using X-ray diffraction, kinetic studies of their reactions with H2 or CO, and FTS reaction rate measurements. Fe2O3 precursors initially reduce to Fe3O4 and then to metallic Fe (...

abstract zinc (zn) is an essential plant nutrient. knowledge about distribution of zn between its different chemical forms is useful in understanding the chemistry of this element in soil and also in development of soil testing procedures. the present study was conducted to obtain such information about distribution of zinc forms in 20 soil samples of lorestan province by the use of a sequentia...

Nutritionally enhanced beans (NEB) with more Fe and Zn than conventional beans (CB) and nutritionally enhanced maize (NEM) with more tryptophan and lysine than conventional maize (CM) were developed as part of a crop-biofortification strategy to improve human nutrition. Proxy measures were used to assess Fe and Zn bioavailability and protein digestibility of a bean recipe (fríjol sancochado) an...

He Q., Ren Y., Mohamed I., Ali M., Hassan W., Zeng F. (2013): Assessment of trace and heavy metal distribution by four sequential extraction procedures in a contaminated soil. Soil & Water Res., 8: 71–76. Four sequential extraction procedures (Sposito, Tessier, Silveira and Bureau Communautaire de Reference (BCR)) were used to evaluate the distribution of some metals (Fe, Cu, Cd and Zn) in a co...

As the intrinsic origin of the high-temperature ferromagnetism often observed in wide-gap dilute magnetic semiconductors becomes increasingly debated, there is a growing need for comprehensive studies on the single-phase region of the phase diagram of these materials. Here we report on the magnetic and structural properties of Fe-doped ZnO prepared by ion implantation of ZnO single crystals. A ...

abstract- to evaluate effects of different soil moisture conditions namely, phosphorus (p) and zinc (zn) application, on extractable zn and fe, two experiments were conducted in laboratory conditions based on a completely randomized design with a factorial arrangement of treatments with two replications. the first experiment was performed with the following factors; incubation time at four leve...

BACKGROUND The altered levels of some essential trace elements and antioxidant minerals have been observed in diabetic patients. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to compare the concentrations of essential trace elements, copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) in the serum of patients who have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with those of their non-diabetic first-degree relatives (FD...
