since particulate matter (total suspended particles and particulate matter with median aerodynamic diameter less than 10 µm) is one of the important pollutants in the ambient air of tehran, the capital of iran, organic substances, inorganic substances and lead levels in tsp and pm10, correlation between tsp and pm10 concentrations, ratio among the two fractions and relation between tsp and pm10...

sunflower has many dry forage yields and is richer than corn in inorganic matter, protein and calcium. therefore, use of this forage in livestock diets can be valuable for elimination of food poverty. in order to determine the best harvest stage for sunflower silage, an experiment was conducted in 2007-2008 at agricultural faculty of shahid chamran university of ahvaz. a randomized complete blo...

24-hour samples of pm1 (submicron particles, aerodynamic diameters ≤1 μm) and pm2.5(fine particles, aerodynamic diameters ≤ 2.5 μm) were collected at a quasi-rural area in racibórz (1 january-30 june 2011). the samples were analysed for carbon (organic and elemental), water-soluble ions (na+,nh4 +, k+, mg2+, ca2+, cl-, no3 -, so4 2-) and concentrations of 21 elements with a carbon analyser (sun...

The transformation of inorganic iodine (I(-) and IO(3)(-)) incubated in soils with varying amounts of organic matter (Andosols from the surface layer of an upland field and forest, as well as Acrisols from surface and subsurface layers of an upland field) was investigated by using the iodine K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES). After 60d of reaction, both I(-) and IO(3)(-) were ...

A speciation method was developed for the determination of inorganic indium compounds in the particulate matter of emissions and from the workplace, based on selective sequential extractions. The main inorganic indium compounds that are expected to be present in the atmospheric particulate matter involving the industrial production of indium and in the manufacture of indium compounds were separ...

the 24 maltiparous holstein dairy cows were allocated in a completely randomized design to study the effects of different level and source of sulfur supplement in close-up diets on blood metabolites, colostrums composition and liver performance. the mean body weight of the cows was 687.9 kg and the mean days until expected calving date was 21.8 d. the first treatment (t1) has contained 0.21% su...

The experiment was conducted at the Research Farm of Crop Physiology and Ecology Department, Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur during 14 August to 7 December, 2008 to study the effect of (different organic and inorganic) fertilizer management on soil properties and yield of five fine rice cultivars viz., Rajshahi swarna, Silkumul, Kataribhog, Lal pajam and Sanla....

this study was designed to induce nutritional hypophosphatemia to investigate the possibility of intervascular hemolysis in the control (7 lambs) and test (8 lambs) groups. phosphorus of the ration for the test and control groups was formulated as 0.063 % and 0.34% of dry matter, respectively. the jugular vein blood samples were weekly taken for inorganic phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, billi...
