This paper focuses on changes in potential drops over different parts of a two-compartment electrodialtyic cell during process developed for P recovery from sewage sludge ash and simultaneous removal heavy metals. The has two compartments separated by cation exchange membrane. suspension is the anode compartment. major aim this work to obtain knowledge needed optimize energy consumption process...

Top predators can provide fundamental ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling, and their impact can be even greater in environments with low nutrients and productivity, such as Arctic tundra. We estimated the effects of Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) denning on soil nutrient dynamics and vegetation production near Churchill, Manitoba in June and August 2014. Soils from fox dens contained highe...

The study intended to establish how the dynamics of earthworms (Oligochaeta: Lumbricidae) changes in soil (abundance, biomass), under conditions of mineral fertilization with nitrogen and phosphorous in four different doses, in a 33-year experimental placement in the west of Romania, in wheat-soybean-maize-barley rotation. The soil indices taken into study were: pH, humus, total nitrogen, phosp...

AIMS To compare the effect of phosphorous concentration (200 mg P l(-1) and 20 mg P l(-1)) on the denitrifying efficiency of Alcaligenes denitrificans when in the form of planktonic cells or in the form of a biofilm, and to select the most adequate C/N ratio. METHODS AND RESULTS Two types of assays were carried out: with planktonic cells and with cells in biofilm form. Anoxic bottles with the...

Introduction: Many molecules can be labeled by iodine. Some of labeled substances are used for investigations of cancer treatment, biodistribution study in body, receptor binding, secrete pathway etc. Peptides are biomolecules and can be labeled by 131Iodine. ICD- 85 is a tri-peptide derived from Iranian brown snake venom and scorpion venom. This tri-peptide treats cancer by i...

The ongoing rise in atmospheric pCO2 and consequent increase in ocean acidification have direct effects on marine calcifying phytoplankton, which potentially alters carbon export. To date it remains unclear, firstly, how nutrient regime, in particular by coccolithophores preferred phosphate limitation, interacts with pCO2 on particulate carbon accumulation; secondly, how direct physiological re...

for comparison of the food value of four different epecies of aquatic weeds: potamogeton pectinatus , potamogeton lucens, potamogeton perfoliatus, najas minor and two species of terrestrial grass: medicago sativa and cynodon dactylon by grass carp (ctenopharyngodon ideda), was studied in the shahicl rejai fishfarm in sari (province of mazandaran). totally 6 concrete ponds with 30 cubic meter vo...

the problem of environmental pollution is of everybody's concern. pollution of zarjoub river in northern iran is most often cause by the uncontrolled disposal of sewage and other wastes resulting from domestic uses of water, industrial wastes containing a variety of pollutants, agricultural affluent from animal husbandry, drainage of irrigation water and urban run-off. a study was carried out t...
