Urea production rate (Ra) is commonly measured using a primed continuous tracer urea infusion, but the accuracy of this method has not been clearly established in humans. We used intravenous infusions of unlabeled urea to assess the accuracy of this technique in normal, postabsorptive men under the following four different conditions: 1) tracer [13C]urea was infused under basal conditions for 1...

Seed dispersal has a powerful influence on population dynamics, genetic structuring, evolutionary rates, and community ecology. Yet, patterns of seed dispersal are difficult to measure due to methodological shortcomings in tracking dispersed seeds from sources of interest. Here we introduce a new method to track seed dispersal: stable isotope enrichment. It consists of leaf-feeding plants with ...

In the present study, a flow rig with optical access intended for spray investigations in exhaust system-relevant conditions was analysed terms of and temperature area using numerical simulations. The operation examined wide range mass rates, temperatures various forms UWS (urea-water solution) plumes. locations injector thermocouple were verified. Both conventional flash-boiling injections con...

Mulberry branch, consisting of bark and stalk, was used as raw skeleton material without any chemical pre-treatment to synthesize an eco-friendly mulberry branch-g-poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide) (PMB/P(AA-co-AM)) superabsorbent composite. The synthesis conditions and properties of the PMB/P(AA-co-AM) superabsorbent composite were investigated. The results showed that under the optimal synthes...

A field experiment was conducted during the winter (rabi) season of 2021–22 at Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, to investigate effect nano-urea and herbicides on yield yield-attributing characters wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The tested in a split-plot design with 4-nano-urea based treatments, viz. control (no nitrogen), recommended dose nitrogen (RDN) 120 kg N/ha, 50% RDN + ...

in order to study the effects of organic and inorganic nitrogen sources on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of three winter rapeseed cultivars, a field experiment was carried out as factorial arrangement in complete block design with three replications in agricultural and natural resources research center of markazi province, arak, during 2008-2009 growing season. three rapeseed cul...
