Woodland sage (Salvia nemorosa) is an important native medicinal plant in Iran and is considered as a rich source of phenolic and flavonoids compounds. The present research was conducted with respect to the optimization of medium for biomass accumulation and secondary metabolite production in cell suspension culture of S. nemorosa. In this research the effects of total nitrogen content (0, 15, ...

Prey preference of top predators and energy flow across habitat boundaries are of fundamental importance for structure and function of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, as they may have strong effects on production, species diversity, and food-web stability. In lakes, littoral and pelagic food-web compartments are typically coupled and controlled by generalist fish top predators. However, the...

in order to study the effect of soil nitrogen content and water hardness on glyphosate efficacy on common lambsquarter (chenopodium album l.) and redroot pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus l.) control, an experiment was carried out as a completely randomized design in a factorial arrangement with three replications. experimental treatments were included soil nitrogen content (18, 50, 90, 200 and 3...

The present study was undertaken to compare the nitrogen content of human feces as determined by the Kjeldahl technic and the micro-Dumas method as utilized in the automated Coleman nitrogen analyzer. The standard deviation between duplicate determinations of the same sample was 0.06% nitrogen in the case of the nitrogen analyzer and 0.02% nitrogen for the Kjeldahl method. The standard deviatio...

in order to evaluate the effects of different levels of potassium and nitrogen on nitrogen use efficiency (nue) and yield of rapeseed (hyola 401), a field experiment was conducted at rice research institute of iran (rasht) in a factorial experiment based on a complete randomized block design with 3 replications for two years (2008-2010). the first factor was pure potassium fertilizer in three l...

A laboratory scale aeration treatment system was built to study the fate of nitrogen during aeration of pig slurry. For each run evaluated, the nitrogen mass balance was determined including measurement of the nitrous oxide gas emissions. Intermittent aeration led to a nitrogen removal of about 53% of the total nitrogen content of the raw slurry. About 18% of the total nitrogen content of the r...

We investigated the mechanical properties of nitrogen-containing graphene under tensile loading via molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In the MD simulation, we used three types of potential functions: the second–generation reactive empirical bond order (REBO) potential for covalent C–C bonds, the Tersoff potential for covalent C–N bonds, and the Lennard–Jones potential for the interlayer inte...

the field study was conducted in one district of educational-experimental forest at tehran university (kheirood-kenar forest) in the north of iran. eighty-five soil profiles were dug in the site of study and several chemical and physical soil properties were considered. these factors included: soil ph, soil texture, bulk density, organic carbon, total nitrogen, extractable phosphorus and depth ...

Soybean breeding programs have developed genetic lines with relatively low seed protein, which could negatively impact early seedling growth in low fertility conditions commonly encountered in the field. In these experiments, seed protein mobilization and its regulation in situ in soybean lines with different seed protein levels was investigated. The results showed that rates of nitrogen (N) re...

Method: Use Multiple Scattering Correction to eliminate the interference of scattering on spectrum in the process of field measurement so as to improve the accuracy of prediction model of tree canopy nitrogen content. Apple trees in Qixia of Yantai City were taken as the test material. The spectral reflectivity of apple tree canopy went through the First Derivative (FD) and Multiple Scattering ...
