Physical and chemical characteristics of the water column and sediments at sea bass/sea bream farm located on the middle Adriatic island of Brač were investigated during the 2001-2006 period. Measurements and samplings were performed at stations inside the farm area and at reference station, approximately 1 km distant from the farm. Investigated parameters in the water column were temperature, ...

Feed is an absolute necessity that must be guaranteed in the maintenance of ruminants but its availability always a problem during dry season so fresh forage difficult to obtain and only agricultural waste form straw available. One widely used by farmers, especially Lombok region, corn straw. This research aims evaluate nutritional content has been ammoniated using urea. study urea for ammoniat...

BACKGROUND Percutaneous balloon mitral commissurotomy (BMC) has been proposed as an alternative to surgical closed mitral commissurotomy (CMC) and open mitral commissurotomy (OMC) for the management of rheumatic mitral valve stenosis (MS). METHODS AND RESULTS We conducted a prospective, randomized trial comparing the results of the 3 procedures in 90 patients (30 patients in each group) with ...

In this study, poultry manure compost and organic fertilizer were added to soils derived from basalt, granite, and river alluvial deposits for use as soil parent materials. Following incubation periods of 30 or 60 days at 25 °C, the physical and chemical properties and adsorption characteristics of the soils were studied. The results indicated that the application of poultry manure compost or o...

introduction using agricultural-industrial waste is one way to overcome the shortage of animal feed. potato is one of the most important products in the world after rice, wheat and maize. potato pulp is a by-product which remains after extraction of starch, and can be used as animal feed. because of the high moisture content of the potato pulp, silage is the best way to maintain it. however, it...

Manure not only supplies many nutrients for crop production, but it is also a valuable source for increasing soil organic matter content and improving soil structure. To increase organic manure content as well as improve the wheat production adding plant residues and livestock to soil is necessary. The experiment was conducted in Shavoor Research Station to determine seed yield and soil physica...

Reaction of [Ti4Zr4O6(OBu)4(OMc)16] (OMc = methacrylate) with acetylacetone (acacH) resulted in dissection of the cluster and formation of [Ti(OBu)2(acac)2] and the smaller cluster [Ti2Zr4O4(OMc)16]. In contrast, the same reaction with [Zr6O4(OH)4(OOCR)12]2·6RCOOH (R = Et, CH2CH=CH2) led to site-selective substitution of two carboxylate ligands and formation of isostructural [Zr6O4(OH)4(OOCR)12...
