-l. Nitrogen and cation excretion/storage in 23 cockroach species representing I l subfamilies have been examined. Measurements of externally excreted ammonia nitrogen, uric acid nitrogen, total nitrogen, potassium and sodium were made. Values of total body nitrogen, body urate nitrogen, and body potassium and sodium are also reported. 2. A significant correlation was found between body nitroge...

Background and Objectives: Fast proteolysis of cheese in ripening process may lead to the premature attack of casein, release of the majority of enzymes into the whey, and loss of cheese composition from curd to whey. In this study, the effect of liposomal Flavourzyme on proteolysis of Iranian white brined cheese, as well as on the yield and composition of whey and curd was investigated. Mater...

.soil microorganisms are important agents in nutrient cycling and energy flow. they are extremely sensitive to environmental changes. soil microbial biomass has been proposed as an index of soil stress and disturbance. the objective of this study was to determine the effects of barley (hordeum vulgare l.) residue amounts, burning, nitrogen fertilizer levels and tillage management on organic car...

elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide and other green house gases have increased the earth temperature in recent century, which it affects all biochemistry cycles in soils. to examine the effect of atmospheric co2 concentration and temperature on n forms in soil solution in a calcareous soil, an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with factorial arrangement in the laborator...

Human alteration of the nitrogen cycle has led to increased riverine nitrogen loads, contributing to the eutrophication of lakes, streams, estuaries, and near‐coastal oceans. These riverine nitrogen loads are usually less than the total nitrogen inputs to the system, indicating nitrogen removal during transport through the drainage network. A two‐year monitoring study quantified the ammonium, n...

Traits related to nitrogen fixation may be used as indirect selection criteria foraflatoxin resistance in peanut. The aim of this study was to investigate therelationship between N2 fixation traits and aflatoxin contamination in peanut underdifferent drought conditions. Eleven peanut genotypes were evaluated under threewater regimes for two seasons in the field. Data were observed on kernel inf...
