An Ultic Haploxeralf soil collected from ridges built into the slopes of the Coastal Mountain Range of Central Chile was used in applications of humic and fulvic acids (HFA) extracted from sludge from sewage treatment plants, in combination with gypsum (CaSO4). A total of 12 treatments were applied by combining four doses of HFA (0, 20, 30 and 40 t ha-1) with three doses of gypsum (0, 1.2 and 6...

Abstract On dark gray forest and leached chernozem soils of the Tambov region, effectiveness using new granular organic fertilizer from poultry excreta was evaluated. After disinfection litter by deep drying, total content NPK in constitutes 11-12%, trace elements is about 1g/kg. Field experiments conducted 2019 showed that yield increase introduction studied at a dose 4-8 t/ha on spring wheat ...

Nano HA rod was synthesized by precipitation method using Ca(NO3)24H2O and (NH4)2HPO4 as starting materials and ammonia solution as an agent for pH adjustment. The Ca/P molar ratio was maintained at 1.67. Then, the effect of different pH (4, 6, 8, 10, 11), different surfactants and different times for dialyses on nano HA rod were studied in this study. The samples were characterized by differen...

A two-year dry season experiment was conducted at the research farm of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, IITA Ibadan, Nigeria to estimate irrigation water requirements and establish crop water use. Two upland rice varieties (NERICA 2 and NERICA 4) were planted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD). Four treatments based on different water distribution levels were adopt...

Crop rotation system of maize and beans, established at Rubona (Rwanda) from 1984 to 1992, was used to evaluate different types and rates of fertilizers in improving the productivity of acid Oxisols. Continuous cropping of maize followed by beans for a period of 8 years gave no yield in control plots. A single application of 2 t per ha of lime increased significantly (p = .01) the soil pH, Ca2+...

Female CD-1 mice were treated topically with a low (25-50 nmol) or high (800 nmol) dose of benzo[a]pyrene (BP) or acetone vehicle, followed by 5 nmol 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) twice a week for 26 weeks. Selective UV radiation fractionation followed by PCR methods were used to analyze histologically defined subsets of cells (approximately 100-200 cells) on formalin-fixed, paraff...

The molecular mechanisms of the carcinogenic process of gastric cancer have not been fully understood yet. In order to know whether c-Ha-ras gene is being involved in the process of gastric carcinogenesis, 8 gastric cancer cell lines, 8 cases of gastric cancer and same number of adjacent dysplasia were analyzed for the presence of mutation at codon 12, 13 and 61 of the c-Ha-ras gene by using po...

Minor histocompatibility antigens (mHags) are involved in the induction of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after HLA-identical bone marrow transplantation. Previously, we isolated a series of HLA-A*0201-restricted cytotoxic T-cell (CTL) clones specific for the same mHag HA-1 from peripheral blood of three unrelated patients who were suffering from GVHD. We have now analyzed the composition of ...
