for comparison of the food value of four different epecies of aquatic weeds: potamogeton pectinatus , potamogeton lucens, potamogeton perfoliatus, najas minor and two species of terrestrial grass: medicago sativa and cynodon dactylon by grass carp (ctenopharyngodon ideda), was studied in the shahicl rejai fishfarm in sari (province of mazandaran). totally 6 concrete ponds with 30 cubic meter vo...

Biogenic silica (BSi) and phosphorous (P) accumulation were investigated in sediment cores from Karlskärsviken, a bay of Lake Mälaren. The aim was to make use of BSi and P relations in sediment stratigraphies in order to investigate the historical nutrient trophy in a near shore lake environment since the Middle Ages, with focus on industrial times, and to evaluate anthropogenic influences on t...

aims: the effect of electrochemical process on polyphosphate alone has not been yet investigated. the aim of this study was to study polyphosphate removal from synthetic wastewater by electrochemical process.  materials & methods: this research was carried out experimentally on 50 samples of synthetic wastewater. in each run 2000ml of sw took place in a batch. a constant 600ma direct current wa...

Strain P17 was a bacterial strain identified as Bacillus megaterium isolated from ground accumulating phosphate rock powder. The fermentation broth of strain P17 and the yellow-brown soil from Nanjing Agricultural University garden were collected to conduct this study. The simulation of fixed insoluble phosphorous forms after applying calcium superphosphate into yellow-brown soil was performed ...

Dietary availability and retention of selected minerals associated with the intensive production of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Donna Leanne Snellgrove This research programme aimed to review the nutritional requirements for the main minerals, (namely calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and zinc) formulated in commercial diets that are essential for the health and growth performance for sal...

OBJECTIVE To assess the food intake and the nutritional status of children on a cow's milk and cow's milk by-products free diet. METHODS Twenty-six children receiving a cow's milk and cow's milk by-products free diet were assessed during their first visit to the Pediatric Gastroenterology Clinic (mean age = 19.1 months). Thirty children with no food restriction (mean age = 16.8 months) were a...

Background: Saliva is a complex mixture of fluids which regulates oral health. Studies have stated that calcium and phosphorous content of saliva is low in caries active persons. But most investigators have been unable to confirm this finding .This is attributed to the interplay of other factors including proteins and enzymes. Thus levels and state of calcium and phosphorous in saliva may be an...

This small book amply fulfills the promise of its title; it is one of the best books on a specific aspect of brain metabolism to appear in recent years. The first two chapters cover phosphorus metabolism in the brain in vivo and include studies on the levels of phosphorylated compounds in the brain under various conditions. In addition, changes in the phosphate levels in the developing brain ar...

The syntheses of hydroxymethylenebisphosphonic acid derivatives (dronic acid derivatives) starting from the corresponding substituted acetic acids and P-reagents, mainly phosphorus trichloride and phosphorous acid are surveyed according to the solvents applied. The nature of the solvent is a critical point due to the heterogeneity of the reaction mixtures. This review sheds light on the optimum...
