in order to evaluate the efficiency of inoculation of chickpea seeds with mesorhizobium and application of nitrogen and zinc on yield and yield components of rainfed chickpea an experiment was carried out in research station of shirvan-chardavel, ilam. the experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design (rcbd) with six treatments including mesorhizobium inoculation, nitrogen (40 kg...

nanoparticles of zinc sulfide as undoped and doped with copper were used as photocatalyst in the photodegradation of hmx (octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine) and rdx (hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine) as nitramine explosives under uv and vis irradiations. photoreactivity of doped zinc sulfide was varied with dopant, mole fraction of dopant to zinc ion, ph of solution, dosag...

Nanowire-based light-emitting devices require multi-quantum well heterostructures with high room temperature optical efficiencies. We demonstrate that such efficiencies can be attained through the use of ZnO/Zn((1-x))Mg(x)O core-shell quantum well heterostructures grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. Varying the barrier Mg concentration from x = 0.15 to 0.3 leads to the formation of misf...

in this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (znonps) were synthesized by chemical method and their antibacterial efficiency against a clinical isolate of staphylococcus aureus was studied. the zinc oxide nanoparticles have shown a commendable inhibition effect on the growth of most notorious bacterial pathogen s.aureus. the nanoparticles size and shapes were characterized by transmission electron m...

The study of zinc bioavailability in foods is important because this mineral intake does not meet the recommended doses for some population groups. Also, the presence of dietary factors that reduce zinc absorption contributes to its deficiency. Rice fortified with micronutrients (Ultra Rice®) is a viable alternative for fortification since this cereal is already inserted into the population hab...

Metallic zinc is a promising negative electrode for high energy rechargeable batteries due to its abundance, low-cost and non-toxic nature. However, the formation of dendritic zinc and low Columbic efficiency in aqueous alkaline solutions during charge/discharge processes remain a great challenge. Here we demonstrate that the dendritic growth of zinc can be effectively suppressed in an ionic li...

Zinc deficiency in crop plants has been recognized as a worldwide nutritional constraint. A greenhouse experiment was conducted with the objective of developing a screening technique to evaluate lowland rice genotypes for zinc use efficiency. Ten lowland (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes were tested at low (0 mg Zn kg) and high (10 mg Zn kg) zinc levels applied to an Inceptisol. Genotypes differed si...

Cyanide is an extreme hazard and extensively found in the wastes of refinery, coke plant, and metal plating industries. A simple, fast, cost-effective, room-temperature wet chemical route, based on cyclohexylamine, for synthesizing zinc oxide nanoparticles in aqueous and enthanolic media was established and tested for the photodegradation of cyanide ions. Particles of polyhedra morphology were ...
