The release of phosphorus (P) and zinc (Zn) from swine manure compost and from soils applied with swine manure compost can be accelerated by colloidal particles. This study investigated the concentrations and chemical species of P and Zn in water-dispersible colloids (WDCs) collected from swine manure compost by using X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy. A filtration and ultrace...

Relativistic calculations of nonradiative transition rates to K, L, and M -shell vacancy statesin Ni-, Cu-, and Zn-like ions with Z=32, 36, 42, 47, 56, 60, 66, 74, 83, and 92 are performed.Auger and Coster-Kronig transition probabilities are calculated using both Dirac-Hartree-Fockand model-potential wave functions. Tabulated data are presented for Kand L-shells Augerrates in Ni...

Isolation, purification and physicochemical properties of the antibiotic complex YA-56, a family of phleomycin-bleomycin group, are described. The antibiotic YA-56 complex was found to be composed mainly of two active components named YA-56X and Y. These components were clearly differentiated from the reported phleomycins and bleomycins by their physicochemical properties. However, by direct co...

The batch adsorption of Mn (II), Zn (II) and Cu (II) ions from aqueous solution using frond and leaves of dump palm was investigated. The influence of sorption time, initial metal ion concentration and adsorbent dosage were evaluated. The results showed that these parts of dump palm have relatively high adsorption capacity for these heavy metals ions. The percentage removed was (76%), (64%), (6...

During the X-ray bursts of GS 1826$-$24, "clocked burster", nuclear reaction flow that surges through rapid-proton capture process path has to pass NiCu cycles before reaching ZnGa moderate further extent hydrogen burning in region above germanium and selenium isotopes. The $^{57}$Cu(p,$\gamma$)$^{58}$Zn located plays an important role influencing burst light curves as found by Cyburt et al. (2...

BACKGROUND The gastrointestinal parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus is a pathogenic organism resistant to several anthelmintics. This study assessed the efficacy of a medicinal herbal mixture (Herbmix) and organic zinc, as an essential trace element for the proper functioning of both unspecific and specific immune defensive mechanisms, against experimental infections with H. contortus in la...

A new complex of phleomycin-bleomycin group antibiotics, YA-56, was isolated from the culture broth of a streptomycete designated as strain MCRL 0387 and identified as a new variety of Streptomyces humidus Nakazawaand Shibata in Imamura et al.9 1956. Ultra-violet irradiation of strain MCRL0387 gave a high-yielding mutant which formed blue aerial mycelium instead of the grayish aerial mycelium o...
