Effect of salicylic acid combined with glutamin on rose (Rosa Baccara) cut flowers was studied. The study was conducted in a factorial arrangement, carried out in a complete randomized design. The factors were Salicylic acid (0,1, 2 and 4 mM) and glutamin (0, 1.5 and 3 mM).The effects of treatments on the total chlorophyll content, ACC-Oxidase activity, anthocyanin leakage, membrane stability a...

Some results on the two-point function and on the analytic structure of the momenta of the effective fugacity at the origin for a class of diluted ferromagnetic Ising models on the Cayley tree are presented.

Introduction: In Table 1 we have compiled the chemical compositions, including Ni and Co, of representative basalts from Earth, Moon, Mars and Vesta. The SiO2 and MgO concentrations of all basalts cover only a small compositional range, suggesting a similar extent of fractionation. The Ni and Co contents increase with the radius of the planet, with very low concentrations in Vesta and increasin...

The illicit manufacture of methamphetamine (MAP) produces substantial amounts of hazardous waste that is dumped illegally. This study presents the first environmental evaluation of waste produced from illicit MAP manufacture. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) was measured to assess immediate oxygen depletion effects. A mixture of five waste components (10mg/L/chemical) was found to have a COD (130 m...

In this paper, two level III fugacity models are developed and applied using an environmental system containing six compartments, including air, aerosols, soil, water, suspended particulate matters (SPMs), sediments, as a “unit world”. The first model, assumes equilibrium between air aerosols water SPMs. These assumptions lead to four-fugacity model. second model removes these leading six-fugac...

Mantle oxygen fugacity exerts a primary control on mass exchange between Earth's surface and interior at subduction zones, but the major factors controlling mantle oxygen fugacity (such as volatiles and phase assemblages) and how tectonic cycles drive its secular evolution are still debated. We present integrated measurements of redox-sensitive ratios of oxidized iron to total iron (Fe3+/SigmaF...
