Optimum band and band combination for retrieving total nitrogen, water and fiber content in tealeaves with remote sensing data is investigated based on regressive analysis. Based on actual measured data of total nitrogen, fiber and water content in tealeaves as well as remotely sensed visible to near infrared reflectance data with 5nm of wavelength steps and ASTER/VNIR onboard Terra satellite, ...

effect of three different levels of fe-eddha foliar application and soil application of nitrogen on some quantitative and qualitative characteristics of apple (cv. fuji) grafted on maling-9 was evaluated. this experiment carried out at the experimental field of tehran university, in 2013. the factorial experiment was carried out as randomized completely block design (rcbd) with three replicatio...

A split plot 3 by 4 experiment was designed to characterize the relationship between production of gluthatione (GSH), oxidized gluthatione (GSSG), total flavonoid, anthocyanin, ascorbic acid and antioxidant activities (FRAP and DPPH) in three varieties of Labisia pumila Blume, namely the varieties alata, pumila and lanceolata, under four levels of nitrogen fertilization (0, 90, 180 and 270 kg N...

dianchi lake is one of the most three seriously eutrophic lakes in china. in the present study, the phosphorus (p) and nitrogen (n) fractions in 37 surface sediments samples collected in the dianchi lake were investigated. the total phophorus (tp) in sediments was divided into two parts: inorganic p (ip) and residual p (res-p). the results showed that the total phosphorus content in surface se...

The aim of the present work was to study the endogenous contribution of the exocrine pancreatic and biliary secretions to the total endogenous nitrogen production in the pig. Three growing Large White pigs weighing 45 +/- 2.5 kg were fitted with permanent fistulae in the pancreatic duct, the bile duct and the duodenum. They were adapted to a semi-synthetic casein diet for 14 d before surgery. I...

Lava caves are an understudied ecosystem in the subterranean world, particularly in regard to nitrogen cycling. The diversity of ammonia oxidation (amoA) and nitrogen fixation (nifH) genes in bacterial mats collected from lava cave walls on the island of Terceira (Azores, Portugal) was investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). A total of 55 samples were collected from 1...

The removal of biological nitrogen from a synthetic wastewater with different ammonium nitrogen concentrations (50 and 100 mgN-NH4/L) by a nitrification and denitrification process using a sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR) with liquid-phase circulation was studied. The system with a total working volume of 4.6 L (3.7 L in the reactor and 0.9 L in the reservoir) treated 2.1 L of synthetic ...

1. Aspects of nitrogen metabolism in the human neonate were assessed in one full-term infant and six premature infants by means of nitrogen-balance measurements, estimates of obligatory nitrogen losses and determinations of whole-body nitrogen turnover. 2. Our data indicate that the mean protein requirement for maintenance is 1-1 g of protein day-1 kg-1 and that 3-8 g of protein day-1 kg-1 shou...
