The biodeterioration of cementitious materials in sewer networks has become a major economic, ecological, and public health issue. Establishing suitable standardized test is essential if sustainable construction are to be developed qualified for sewerage environments. Since purely chemical tests proven not representative the actual deterioration phenomena real conditions, biological test–named ...

the 24 maltiparous holstein dairy cows were allocated in a completely randomized design to study the effects of different level and source of sulfur supplement in close-up diets on blood metabolites, colostrums composition and liver performance. the mean body weight of the cows was 687.9 kg and the mean days until expected calving date was 21.8 d. the first treatment (t1) has contained 0.21% su...

Why is it that different organisms do so many different things with sulfur?  Sulfur exists in many different oxidation states  Reduced sulfur is required for many biomolecules  Sulfur forms can serve as an electron sources or as electron acceptors  Oxidation states of sulfur  Sulfur assimilation in bacteria and yeasts  Sulfur-containing biomolecules  Sulfide Oxidation  Sulfate Reduction...

in order to study the effect of different levels of nitrogen and sulfur fertilizers on yield, yield components, content of some elements, qualitative and quantitative traits of spring safflower (serin cv.) an experiment was conducted at agriculture and natural resource research station of ardabil in 2008. this experiment was carried out in factorial experiment in completely randomized block des...

European Directives consider mercury a priority hazardous substance due to its adverse effects on human health and the environment. In response to environmental concerns, a microencapsulation process has been developed within the European LIFE program as a long-term storage option for mercury. This process leads to the obtainment of a stable concrete-like sulfur matrix that allows the immobiliz...

objectives: repairing composite restorations is a challenging procedure especially when two different types of composites are used. this study aimed to compare the repair strength of silorane-based composite (sc) (filtek p90) with that of preheated sc, methacrylate composite (mc)(z250), flowable mc (filtek supreme plus) and different adhesive/composite combinations. materials and methods : eigh...
