the monolithic oxynitride glasses in sio2-al2o3-b2o3 system were synthesized using sol-gel method. the porous, dried gels were heated in flowing ammonia for different times and varying temperatures. the nitrogen content of the oxynitride glasses was determined using an oxygen-nitrogen analyzer. the chemical bonding state and properties of glasses were investigated by means of fourier transform ...

the effect of european black alder (alnus glutinosa l.) on the contents of carbon and nitrogen,exchangeable base cations, and plant available forms of phosphorus in the reclaimed mine soils formed bywaste deposition from opencast lignite mines was researched in central serbia. it was concluded that thegreatest part of dead organic residues reaching the soil under european black alder monocultur...

The value of milk on the open market is linked to its protein content, and standard methods for protein analysis rely on a simple nitrogen assay, with the protein concentration inferred from the nitrogen content. Consequently, the addition of chemicals rich in nitrogen, such as urea, can artificially increase the apparent protein content and thus the price demanded. Urea occurs naturally in mil...

The cyclic process of biosynthesis and degradation of poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA) was studied in Alcaligenes eutrophus under conditions of nitrogen-limitation of growth. A. eutrophus cells, which had accumulated poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) of 55 wt% content within cells from butyric acid, were transferred into a nitrogen-free medium containing pentanoic acid as the sole carbon source and c...

A pot experiment using root separation technique was conducted to further understand the effect of root interaction played in intercropping system under different nitrogen levels. The results showed that root interaction and increasing nitrogen application increased the green leaf area per plant and chlorophyll content of soybean, but their effects gradually decreased with increasing nitrogen f...
