This small book amply fulfills the promise of its title; it is one of the best books on a specific aspect of brain metabolism to appear in recent years. The first two chapters cover phosphorus metabolism in the brain in vivo and include studies on the levels of phosphorylated compounds in the brain under various conditions. In addition, changes in the phosphate levels in the developing brain ar...

intercropping is considered as a method for increasing yield per unit and stability. in order to evaluate the effects of phosphorous biofertilizer and chemical phosphorous on fodder quality of corn (zea mays l.) and grass pea (lathyrus sativa l.) intercropping, two field experiments were conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications at two places simult...

The initial growth of ~234! phosphorous islands on ~432! terraces of gallium arsenide ~001! has been studied. The islands grow anisotropically in the @110# direction with an aspect ratio of approximately 8 to 1 at moderate coverages. The distribution of island widths in the @ 1̄10# direction follows a Gaussian function. The mean width increases from 2466 to 47611 Å as the phosphorous coverage in...

As for the East Asian countries, the total amount of government debt in Korea has risen sharply over the following several years in the wake of the Asian financial crisis. The purpose of this paper is to assess whether the current levels of government debt are sustainable for a severely attacked country, namely, Korea. Under the intertemporal budget constraint model, the study tests for fiscal ...

The novel lanthanum-modified clay water treatment technology (Phoslock seems very promising in remediation of eutrophied waters. Phoslock is highly efficient in stripping dissolved phosphorous from the water column and in intercepting phosphorous released from the sediments. The active phosphorous-sorbent in Phoslock is the Rare Earth Element lanthanum. A leachate experiment revealed that lanth...

We use a nutrient-ratio budget method to investigate the relative importance of different nutrient source and sink terms at time-series Station ALOHA Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) in North Pacific subtropical gyres, respectively. At mean state conditions over annual multi-year time scales, vertical phosphate () supply from subsurface accounts for ∼60% total phosphorus both sites. Di...
