Dr. Hans Mol is senior scientist at RIKILTWageningen UR Introduction Regulatory authorities throughout the world set and enforce strict limits on the maximum residue levels (MRLs or tolerances) of pesticides permitted on food and feeds. It falls to analytical laboratories to test these products and ensure they meet the relevant standards. The analytical challenge is to look for over 1,500 poten...

laminar counterflow diffusion flames provide useful information about basic properties of non-premixed combustion. a lot of studies have been performed on h2/o2 counterflow. most of previous studies include undiluted or diluted systems of hydrogen (with co2 or n2) against an air flow under a variety of conditions such as strain rates, inlet temperature and pressure. the main purpose of this res...

Biogas production from co-digestion of local brewery waste (BW) and cow dung (CD) was study for value added to this solid waste. The objective of this research was to fine the optimum condition for maximum biogas production and also examined the effectiveness of the biogas residue (liquor from anaerobic digestion process) as a nitrogen source for the production of okro. The experiments were per...

An extraction method based on matrix solid phase dispersion (MSPD) and high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection for quantification of two widely used pesticides (Malathion and α-Endosulfan) in Khazar rice from north of Iran were investigated. The ratio of solid phase (adsorbent) to sample, types of eluting solvent and its volume were optimized to achieve the highest recoveries f...

Background: Heavy metals contaminations are recognized as the serious risk to our environment. The aim of the present study was to analyze heavy metals residue in cultivated mango samples from Iran. Methods: Totally, 72 mango samples were randomly collected among six different mango genotypes cultivated in Southern Iran from June to July 2015. Lead, chromium, cadmium, and arsenic were determin...

crop productivity, water use efficiency (wue), and microbial biomass c and n in rainfed dry area are influenced by tillage, rotation, and crop residue management. field experiments were conducted during 2005-08 to study the effect of tillage, crop rotation, and crop residue retention on oat fodder yield, water use efficiency, and microbial biomass c (mbc) and n (mbn) under semi-arid conditions ...

In heat transfer fluids, the carbon residue value is an indicator that provides its relative coking tendency. The micro method widely used because of simple and convenient operation procedures low pollution. However, when less than 0.1%, sample needs to be prepared then tested in furnace. Therefore, this article aims at measurement by fluids method. classified according product type maximum all...

stabilization, alter and improvement of engineering properties of soil are for providing predetermined goals. the most important aim of soil stabilization is increasing long term soil strength, but in very wet and loos lands the other aim of soil stabilization, is to decrease plasticity characteristic of soil, which are tested by atterberg limits tests. since the road soils of namkhane district...

Considering the increasing rice consumption in the world and also the excessive application of pesticides to increase production, an experiment was conducted to determine the pesticide residues and their effects on nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus content of Hashemi, Khazar and Gohar (SA13) rice cultivars, in a factorial design at randomized complete block design with three replications. In t...
