The present study was aimed at comparing the ability of three crop plants for phytoremediation of zinc (Zn) and nickel (Zn) from soils. A factorial (3×2×3) experiment based on RCBD was used to compare the treatments, and was repeated three times. The first factor was crop type (wheat, clover and rapeseed), the second factor was heavy metal types (zinc (Zn) and nickel (Ni)) and the third factor ...

in order to evaluate the yield and nitrogen use efficiency of corn and cotton intercropping under different levels of nitrogen, an experiment was conducted as a factorial arrangement based on completely randomized block design with three replications. the experimental treatments were nitrogen fertilizers in four levels (0, 50, 100 and 150 kg ha-1) and planting pattern in three levels (maize sol...

the aim of the present research was to study the effects of weak cation exchange resins, polacrilex with exchangeable h+ and polacrillin potassium and strong cation exchange resin sodium polystyrene sulfonate on water uptake behavior of ranitidine hydrochloride. drug resin complexes (drc) were prepared and evaluated for the percentage of moisture gain when placed in a humidity chamber at 40e2 °...

in order to evaluate efficiency of nitrogen fertilizers consumption in a sugar beet monogerm hybrid variety of zarghan, a field experiment was conducted in a loamy soil during 2007 in the research farm of sugar beet seed institute located in karaj. five levels of nitrogen fertilizers including 0 (check), 120, 160, 200 and 240 kg/ha of net nitrogen from urea fertilizer (46 percent of pure nitrog...

Objective(s): This study was undertaken to determine the role of computed tomography (CT)-based methodology to segment the SI joint and quantify the metabolic activity using positron emission tomography (PET). We measured tracer uptake in the right and left SI joints independently to look for differences between the two sides. Further, we correlated tracer uptake with ...

Design, synthesis, and conjugation of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with biomolecules is a matter of growing interest to enhance selective uptake of contrast agents like gadolinium (Gd3+) by cancer cells. Here, by targeting xc-cystine/glutamate antiporter system in breast cancer cells, conjugation of MSN-Gd3+ with cysteine is used to enhance cancer cellular uptake of Gd3+. Reactions de...

introduction: compounds which are used to treat organophosphate (op) poisoning are not able to fully alleviate long lasting effects. they are mainly used to antagonize cholinergic effects of ops. however, non-cholinergic effects, such as interference with different neurotransmitter systems, especially gaba release and uptake, are recently attracting more attentions. we have tried to investigate...
