It has recently been shown that a KNO-like scaling is fulfilled inside the jets, which indicates KNO violated by complex vacuum-QCD processes outside jet development, such as single and double parton scattering or softer multiple-parton interactions. In current work we investigated properties of heavy-flavor jets using Monte-Carlo simulations. We found while from leading-order flavor-creation e...

Soil cultures, enrichment cultures, and pure culture isolates produced substantial quantities of salicylic acid from naphthalene in a mineral salts medium containing NH(4)Cl as the nitrogen source. However, when KNO(3) was substituted for NH(4)Cl, these same cultures failed to accumulate detectable quantities of salicylic acid but did turn the medium yellow. When an isolate identified as a Pseu...

We analyze in this contribution the effect of aging on the electrokinetic properties of magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) and hematite (alpha-Fe(2)O(3)). In both cases, high-purity commercial samples and monodisperse synthetic particles were studied. Commercial magnetite showed a rather erratic dependence of its electrophoretic mobility u(e) with the concentration of NaCl. Furthermore, sufficient concentra...

Root nodule senescence induced by nitrate and ammonium in Pisum sativum L. was defined by determining nitrogenase activity and leghemoglobin content with the acetylene reduction and pyridine hemochrome assays. Root systems supplied with 100 mm KNO(3) or 100 mm NH(4)Cl exhibited a decrease in nitrogenase activity followed by a decline in leghemoglobin content. Increasing the CO(2) concentration ...

We conducted reversed deliquescence experiments in saturated NaCl–NaNO3 – H2O, KNO3 – NaNO3 – H2O, and NaCl–KNO3 – H2O systems from 90 to 120 °C as a function of relative humidity and solution composition. NaCl, NaNO3 , and KNO3 represent members of dust salt assemblages that are likely to deliquesce and form concentrated brines on high-level radioactive waste package surfaces in a repository e...

The nodulation characteristics of soybean (Glycine max) mutant nts382 are described. The mutant nodulated significantly more than the parent cultivar Bragg in the presence and absence of several combined nitrogen sources (KNO(3), urea, NH(4)Cl, and NH(4)NO(3)). The number of nodules on the tap root and on lateral roots was increased in the mutant line. In the presence of KNO(3) and urea, nitrog...
