Over 90% of the water supplied in the coastal region in Israel in 2013 (600 Mm(3) y(-1)) will be from desalination plants. The wastewater generated from this water (>400 Mm(3) y(-1)) is planned, after proper treatment, to be reused for agricultural irrigation, making this low-salinity water the main agricultural-sector future water source. In this respect both the Mg(2 + ) concentration and the...

The main purpose of the current research is comparing the results of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) with regard to determination of the importance of soil properties affecting clay dispersibility. After taking samples from two depths of 0-40 and 40-80 cm, the spontaneous and mechanical dispersions of clay were recorded using both weighing and ...

Cytosolic free magnesium concentration [Mg2+]i and its regulation were studied in cultured embryonic chicken heart cells by use of the fluorescent indicator 2-[2-(5-carboxy)oxazole]-5-hydroxy-6-aminobenzofuran-N,N,O-triacet ic acid (Furaptra). The intracellular location of Furaptra was confirmed by its complete release from cells upon addition of saponin. The basal [Mg2+]i, which averaged 0.48 ...

Oil and gas drilling operations use drilling fluids (mud) to lubricate the drill bit and stem, transport formation cuttings to the surface, and seal off porous geologic formations. Following completion of the well, waste drilling fluid is often applied to cropland. We studied potential changes in soil compaction as indicated by cone penetration resistance, pH, electrical conductivity (EC(e)), s...

Abstract The project aimed to prepare study comprised investigate for assessing Diyala River water pollution in the (bottom basin) and showing chemical effect of discharged plant. physical properties included hydrogen number (pH), total dissolved solids (TDS) electrical conductivity (EC), but term properties, samples were chemically analyzed cat ions anions (Ca +2 , Mg Na +1 K Cl -1 HCO 3 SO 4 ...

The use of saline water resources in agriculture is becoming a common practice semi-arid and arid regions such as the Mediterranean. In SmaCuMed project, desalination brackish groundwater (TDS = 2.8 g/L) for irrigation Argan trees Essaouira, Morocco, to 2 g/L 1 (33% 66% salt removal, respectively) using low-pressure reverse osmosis (LPRO) (p < 6 bar) membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) w...

This study is based on the quality of wastewater from Hawassa University surroundings, which was assessed to determine its suitability for irrigation purposes during 2019. Grab samples influent and treated water were taken assessing parameters. The revealed that could be used purpose with some moderate restrictions. Even though Electrical Conductivity (EC) Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) permit ir...

The regulation of the cytosolic free magnesium concentration ([Mg2+]i) is a fundamental cellular process that requires magnesium extruding mechanisms. Here, we present evidence indicating that rat thymocytes are endowed with different Na/Mg exchange systems. Fluxes of magnesium were measured using the fluorescent magnesium indicator magfura-2. Cells were loaded with magnesium using the calcium ...
