Fly ashes are usually contaminated with toxic heavy metals. These metals are leaching out aftercontact with water during wet disposal system, thus polluting the soil, surface and groundwater. In the present study, a hydroponics experiment was conducted to examine the removalof heavy metals Cd, Pb and Zn by Eichhornia crassipes grown at various concentration of fly ash ranging from 10, 20 and 40...

species using herbicides can improve forage availability and enhance ranch profitability by increasing the livestock carrying capacity of native pastures. However, deciding how and when to control noxious plants is crucial, and is generally more profitable on more productive soils with less brush. Factors that contribute to brush encroachment on rangelands include: • Fewer fires because of huma...

Heat denaturation and Pronase degradation of the complex previously formed between benzylpenicillin and the exocellular DD-carboxypeptidase-transpeptidase of Actinomadura R39 yields a heptapeptide H-Leu-Pro-Ala-Ser-Asn-Gly-Val-OH, where the benzylpenicilloyl group is ester-linked to the serine residue. This linkage is very labile and its hydrolysis causes the release of benzylpenicilloate. In c...
