Co-combustion of chicken litter with coal was performed in a laboratory-scale fluidized bed combustor to investigate the effect of chicken litter addition on the partitioning behavior of mercury. Gaseous total and elemental mercury concentrations in the flue gas were measured online, and ash was analyzed for particlebound mercury along with other elemental and surface properties. The mercury ma...

Drought is a major abiotic stress factor limiting maize production, and elucidating the genetic control of root system architecture and plasticity to water-deficit stress is a crucial problem to improve drought adaptability. In this study, 13 root and shoot traits and genetic plasticity were evaluated in a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population under well-watered (WW) and water stress (WS) co...

ABSTRACT A circularly polarized heterodyne light beam is incident on a thin metal film, causing successive reflections and refractions to occur at the two sides of the thin film. The phase difference between pand s-polarizations of the multiple-beam interference signal can be measured accurately with an analyzer and heterodyne interferometry. The phase difference depends on the azimuth angle of...

Although the intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence of proteins offers a convenient probe of protein folding, interpretation of the fluorescence spectrum is often difficult because it is sensitive to both global and local changes. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy offers a complementary measure of structural changes involved in protein folding, because it probes changes in the secondary structure of the pr...

The products generated from a fixed bed pyrolysis unit of solid waste materials were quantitatively characterized, and their energy potential was determined, in order to evaluate suitability as sources. An elemental analyzer, bomb calorimeter, an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, Couette viscometer TG-MS (thermogravimetric-mass spectrometry) analyzer employed for the measurements. Biochars obtai...

BACKGROUND Elemental and semi-elemental formulas are used to feed infants with short bowel syndrome, who may not be able to tolerate feeds of more than 310 mOsm kg(-1). The present study aimed to measure the osmolality of elemental and semi-elemental formulas at different concentrations, with and without the addition of nonprotein energy supplements. METHODS The osmolality of one elemental an...
