Introduction: Observations of terrestrial levels of highly volatile elements in lunar apatite, including H [1-3], suggested that some lunar melts were at least “damp” if not “wet” at some point in their histories. On the other hand, the very high δCl values in lunar rocks and apatites (up to ~+30‰ [4]) have been taken to mean that their parent magmas were essentially anhydrous, because such lar...

BACKGROUND Ground corncob animal bedding and corn food products contain substances that disrupt endocrine function in rats. The disruptors were identified as isomeric mixtures of tetrahydrofurandiols (THF-diols; 9,12-oxy-10,13-dihydroxyoctadecanoic acid and 10,13-oxy-9,12-dihydroxyoctadecanoic acid) and leukotoxindiols (LTX-diols; 9,10-dihydroxy-12-octadecenoic acid and 12,13-dihydroxy-9-octade...

Uptake of iron and several other minerals into kaiware daikon (Japanese radish sprout) was investigated by changing their supplementary conditions. The supplementation of calcium sulfate (0.1% (w/v), 230 ppm as calcium ion) and iron (III) chloride (0.1% (w/v), 200 ppm as iron ion) in hydroponics promoted the growth of kaiware daikon ca. 1.0-1.5 cm longer than the control group of no additions, ...

Chlorine gas is considered a chemical threat agent that can cause acute lung injury. Studies in the early 20th century on war gases led Haber to postulate that the dose of an inhaled chemical expressed as the product of gas concentration and exposure time leads to a constant toxicological effect (Haber's Law). In the present work, mice were exposed to a constant dose of chlorine (100 ppm-h) del...

A total of 53 strains of onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman, were established, of which 14 strains were collected from persimmon fruit and 39 strains from a vetch weed, Vicia angustifolia, in commercial persimmon orchards in Wakayama Prefecture. Susceptibility to insecticides was evaluated by the Petri dish-spraying tower method. Pyrethroid-resistant strains and pyrethroid-susceptible strains...

Methyl bromide, a highly toxic and ready penetrating fumigant, is widely used against rodents, insects, mites, and a range of pathogenic organisms in soil, compost, and timber. To disinfect soil in greenhouses, methyl bromide is brought under pressure from outside by a vaporiser and blown on to ground under a polyethylene cover. The gas being three times heavier than air easily penetrates the g...

Nutrient status in gladiolus corms were assessed following GA3 treatment and number of bud corm (cut as well whole corm). The experiment was laid out randomized block design involve factorial combination with three replications. Result revealed that 5 200 ppm showed maximum (10.99% 9.24%) nitrogen uptake whereas phosphorus accumulation (17.26% 21.88%) recorded 6 gave (11.93% 15.87%) potassium c...

Penelitian ini menggunakan pelarut polar yaitu metanol dan nonpolar n-heksana untuk menarik sesuai dengan sifatnya. Tujuan penelitian melihat aktivitas antioksidan ekstrak rimpang temu ireng. Proses ekstraksi dilakukan cara maserasi. Me...

It is reported the quality control of Y11(200)MS aluminized bers with 600 ppm of UV Absorber used to equip the Module 0 barrel hadronic calorimeter for ATLAS. The optical properties and the reeectivity of the aluminization of the bers is presented. Also the ber to ber uctuations of the several parameters were studied.
