Vapor-phase methylation of toluene using methanol and its isopropylation with 2-propanol has been investigated ina down flow reactor under atmospheric conditions using N2 carrier over a series of surface modified andunmodified ZSM-5 (Si/Al= 60-170) loaded with H3PO4, differing in the external surface treatment of the zeolites.The feed molar ratios of toluene/methanol and toluene/2-propanol were...

transgenic and non transgenic nicotiana tabacum l (cultivar wisconsin) containing ri t-dna were treated with 0, 0.2 and 0.4 mgl-1 ga3 in murashig and skoog medium. some physiological parameters including shoot length, leaf area, number of auxiliary bud, fresh and dry weight, number and length of trichomes were measured. shoot length, fresh weight and dry weight were increased but number of tric...

An outdoor pot experiment was carried out to determine the combined effect of water stress and phosphorous (P) deficiency in soil on physiological and biochemical indices of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.). The soil used was collected at a depth of 10 -30 cm of a long-term field experiment with a suboptimal P supply (Pdl 30 mg/kg soil). It was classified as loamy sand. Water treatments include...

in order to study the effect of salinity stress and nitrogen forms on nitrogen remobilization from root to shoot following defoliation and shoot dry matter production, a research in the form of factorial experiment based on randomized block, was designed in three replications. treatments include: 1) nitrogen forms containing a) biological n fixation (n1), b) 6mm nh4no3(n2), c) biological n fixa...

the aims of this study were to assess the effects of drought stress on peroxidase (pod), superoxide dismutase (sod) and catalase (cat) activities as well as free proline content and growth parameters of pistacia khinjuk seedlings under drought stress. therefore, the one-year seedlings of pistacia khinjuk subjected to water stress (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% field capacity) for 8 months in greenhou...

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases (ND). Studies have demonstrated that biochemical markers have an association with PD. We aimed to investigate an association of biochemical markers including calcium, vitamin D, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), parathormone (PTH), and phosphorous with PD. Methods: This study was conducted on 139 PD patients an...

Our previous reports have demonstrated an algal pathway for treating settled sewage and recovering its energy-, nitrogen-, phosphorous-contents via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of the resulting biomass. The first part current study was to intensify a critical step in phosphorous (P) recovery process which entails alkaline leaching P-rich byproduct HTL– biochar, yield eluate. following parame...
