A method for the determination of nitrogen in ruminant feedstuffs, products and excreta (e.g. milk and urine) using a spectrophotometer is developed, where samples processed for P determination are also used to determine N. Samples are digested with sulphuric acid and subsequently with hydrogen peroxide in Kjeldahl tubes. Digested solutions along with phenol and buffered alkaline hypochlorite r...

the present research was carried out with the aim of site-specific nitrogen fertilizer management, through aster imagery. a 23 ha corn field in pakdasht town in southern tehran province constituted the research area. plant sampling was carried out simultaneous with the passing by of the satellite sensor over, throughout the farm. a total of 53 pixels were selected through systematic randomized ...

High nutrient inputs and eutrophication continue to be one of the highest priority water quality problems. Bioretention is a low-impact development technology that has been advocated for use in urban and other developed areas. This work provides an in-depth analysis on removal of nutrients from a synthetic stormwater runoff by bioretention. Results have indicated good removal of phosphorus (70 ...

Floodplains and river corridor wetlands may be effectively managed for reducing nutrients and carbon. However, our understanding is limited to the reduction potential of these natural riverine systems. This study utilized the long-term (1978–2004) river discharge and water quality records from an upriver and a downriver location of the Atchafalaya River to quantify the inflow, outflow, and infl...

R. G. Canti [1916] bas used the hypobromite method for obtaining approximate values for the amount of urea in the cerebro-spinal fluid of patients suffering from a variety of diseases. Being desirous of controlling this method by others more reliable he asked R. L. M. Wallis to determine the urea by the urease method in some cases, and G. Graham by the Folin method in others, and the writer to ...

The effects of thermochemical pretreatment and continuous thermophilic conditions on the composting of a mixture of rice straw residue and cattle manure were investigated using a laboratory-scale composting reactor. Results indicate that the composting period of rice straw can be shortened to less than 10 days by applying alkali pre-treatment and continuous thermophilic composting conditions. T...
