to assess the interaction effects of weeds, sowing rate, and n splitting on dryland wheat yield, field experiments were conducted in two years (2007 and 2009) at the college of agriculture in shiraz university. the treatments were replicated four times and analyzed as a split- split plot in a randomized complete block. the weedy and weed free were treated as the main plots, the wheat sowing rat...

over the last ten years, robustness of schemes has raised an increasing interest among the cfd community. the objective of this article is to solve the quasi-one-dimensional compressible flow inside a “shubin nozzle” and to investigate bean-warming and flux vector splitting methods for numerical solution of compressible flows. two different conditions have been considered: first, there is a sup...

titania nanotubes (tnt) prepared by anodization of ti foils were used for water splitting in a standalone cell. the concentration polarization between the anode side (1m naoh) and cathode side (0.5 m h2so4) ensured that the water splitting reaction could take place with no external bias and separate h2 and o2 evolution could be achieved. the destruction of tnt structures under 365 nm uv irradia...

Urea metabolism was studied with nitrogen-starved cells of Chlorella vulgaris Beijerinck var. viridis (Chodat), a green alga which apparently lacks urease. Incorporation of radioactivity from urea-(14)C into the alcohol-soluble fraction was virtually eliminated in cell suspensions flushed with 10% CO(2) in air. This same result was obtained when expected acceptors of urea carbon were replenishe...

Previous experiments from our laboratory have demonstrated that severe hyperthermia results in a selective loss of splanchnic vasoconstriction. Using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy to scan whole blood samples collected in vivo from the portal vein and femoral artery of conscious unrestrained rats, we observed an increase in the concentration of spectroscopy-detectable species in p...

Coal splitting and staging is a promising technology to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions from coal combustion through transforming nitrogenous pollutants into environmentally friendly gasses such as (N2). During this process, the species in pyrolysis gas play dominant role NOx reduction. In research, series of reactive force field (ReaxFF) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are conducted...

Water adsorption and dissociation on the perfect, oxygen containing and nitrogen vacancy containing Ta3N5(100) surfaces are systematically studied by density functional theory calculations. The results show that the perfect Ta3N5(100) surface is very active for water dissociation because of the dangling bonds formed on the perfect Ta3N5(100) surface. The presence of oxygen on the surface is abl...

1. A method is described for the preparation of pepsinogen from swine gastric mucosae which consists of extraction and fractional precipitation with ammonium sulfate solutions followed by two precipitations with a copper hydroxide reagent under particular conditions. Crystallization as very thin needles takes place at 10 degrees C., pH 5.0 and from 0.4 saturated ammonium sulfate solution contai...
