The objectives of this study were to describe the relationships between milk urea concentrations and nutritional management, production, and economic variables in commercial dairy herds. Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) test-day milk urea data, production data, and information on ration nutrient composition and feeding management programs were collected over a 13-mo period from 53 commercial Ontari...

The objective of this study was to examine the influence of N(2) fixation and NO(3) (-)-N and urea-N assimilation on ion balance, uptake, and transport processes in soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.).Inoculated plants were grown in Perlite supplied daily with nutrient solutions which contained zero-N, 10 and 20 millimolar NO(3) (-)-N, and 10 and 20 millimolar urea-N, and they were sampled 41, 76, a...

A set of ceria-manganese mixed metal oxide catalysts with varying Ce:Mn ratios were prepared by coprecipitation using sodium carbonate and evaluated for the total oxidation propane naphthalene. Manganese-rich samples most active, Ce0.25Mn0.75Ox having highest activity. Catalysts characterised X-ray diffraction, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area, Raman spectroscopy, temperature programme...

Urea kinetics were measured in normal women aged 22-34 years at weeks 16, 24 and 32 on either their habitual protein intake (HABIT) or a controlled intake of 60 g protein/d (CONTROL), using primed-intermittent oral doses of [15N15N]urea and measurement of plateau enrichment in urinary urea over 18 h (ID) or a single oral dose of [15N15N]urea and measurement of enrichment of urea in urine over t...

The human brain usually suffers irreversible damage if it endures anoxia for a period in excess of five minutes under normothermic conditions. Cardiac resuscitation techniques, properly applied according to present concepts, make it possible to restore the heart beat after long periods of anoxia, but the patient often dies or remains decerebrate as a result of the pathologic changes in the brai...

nitrogen foliar spray is one of the most important components in fertilizing programs for citrus in iran, as it can reduce nitrate leaching. the goal of this research was to determine the most effective concentration of foliar urea application on “thamson navel’’ orange trees, for achieving the highest yield. foliar sprays were carried out, in two stages with total concentrations of 0.4, 0.8 an...

this experiment was conducted to evaluation the effects of different levels of untreated and treated green grape leaf with urea on performance, egg quality traits and blood parameters of laying hens. in this experiment 192 hy-line (w-36) laying hens, 35 to 46 wk of age were divided in to 4 treatments with 4 replicates (12 birds per replicate) in a completely randomized design experiment. the tr...

There is clear evidence of a link between dialysis adequacy (as measured by urea kinetic modeling or urea reduction ratio) and such important clinical outcomes as morbidity and mortality. Evidence regarding the relationship between dialysis adequacy and quality of life (QOL) outcomes as well as adherence is less clear. The present paper is a study protocol which is planning to answer the follow...
