studying forest degradation through evaluation of soil nutrient concentrations, which reveals soil functioning within the ecosystem, is necessary for sustainable management of land resources. this research was conducted to understand the changes of soil nutrient, resulting from exploitive management using some soil features and their spatial pattern. in the mid-summer of 2014, two sites were se...

aqueous polyurethane dispersions (puds) have recently emerged as important alternatives to their solvent-based counterparts for various applications due to increasing health and environmental awareness (green chemistry). anionic polyester-polyurethane dispersions were synthesized by three steps. in the first step, macromonomer diisocyanate having carboxylic acid was prepared by isophorone diiso...

molecular sieves mcm-41 were synthesized from rice husk ash (rha) as alternative sources of silica. the material was synthesized by a room temperature method from a gel with the molar composition sio2: 1.6ea: 0.215hdtmabr: 325h2o with ph correction. the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (ctmabr) was used as a structure template. nanocomposite containing 5.0 and 10.0 wt.% of cu was synthesized unde...

Hydrogen chloride gas was recently discovered in the atmosphere of Mars during southern summer seasons. Its connection with potential chlorine reservoirs and related atmospheric chemistry is now particular interest actively studied. Measurements by Atmospheric Chemistry Suite mid-infrared channel (ACS MIR) on ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter allow us to measure ratio hydrogen two stable isotopologues,...

[1] Simulations with the HAMMONIA general circulation and chemistry model are analyzed to improve the understanding of the atmospheric response to solar cycle variations and the role of the quasi‐biennial oscillation of equatorial winds (QBO) for this response. The focus is on the Northern Hemisphere winter stratosphere. Owing to the internally produced QBO, albeit with a too short period of 24...

The retinoid (visual) cycle is a complex enzymatic pathway essential for regeneration of the visual chromophore, 11-cis-retinal, a component of rhodopsin that undergoes activation by light in vertebrate eyes. Pathogenic mutations within genes encoding proteins involved in the retinoid cycle lead to abnormalities in retinoid homeostasis and numerous congenital blinding diseases of humans. Thus, ...
