abstract a study was conducted to evaluate the effect of incubation time, sewage sludge and clay content on the distribution of nickel and cadmium in different fractions of selected calcareous soils. to meet this purpose, an experiment with two different soils (4 and 30 percent caco3), two different textures (8 and 40 percent clay), two levels of nickel (0 and 100 mg.kg-1), two levels of cadmiu...

in the present study, the effects of different cadmium (cd) levels of irrigation water (0, 5, 10 and 20 mg l-1) on corn plants (foliage) under different irrigation intervals (1, 3, and 7 days) were investigated. clear cd toxicity symptoms appeared on the plants at the end of the experiment. the results showed that stem dry weight (dw) followed by transpiration (t) and plant height were the meas...

Afforestation of contaminated areas is considered as a possible strategy for reduction of contaminations. In the present study, the effects of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) were investigated on chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (Fv/Fm, Fo, and Fm), photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, b, and total chlorophyll), and proline in one-year-old seedlings of Celtis caucasica and Robinia pseudoacacia...

Reviews of information CD-ROM products were examined in relation to those criteria which home users identify as important in the selection of information CD-ROMs. Specifically we were interested in identifying what relationship, if any, existed between the key overall elements which characterise the reviews and the medium (print or electronic) and type of publication in which they appeared. A c...
