in order to evaluate the response of major nutrients concentration, uptake and their efficiencies of isabgol (plantago ovata) to n fertilizer combinations and irrigation regimes, a field experiment was conducted at the agricultural research farm of shahrekord university, 2009. the experiment was arranged as split-plot, in randomized complete block design with three replications. the irrigation ...

the effects of three arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) species (glomus versiforme, claroideoglomus etunicatum and rhizophagus intraradices) were studied on the growth parameters and nutrient uptake of three apple rootstocks (m.9, m.7 and mm.106). the soil medium contained a high level of calcium carbonate (38.65%). the results showed that amf inoculation could increase almost all growth parame...

during ramadan fasting quantity and quality of dietary intake may change. there was no data on nutrient patterns in ramadan fasting. the purpose of this study was to identify ramadan major nutrient patterns among those who fast in tehran, iran. 510 fasting people aged 18-65 years and bmi 18.5-40 kg/m2 were recruited in our study by 2-stage cluster sampling method in june-july 2014. data on the ...

fifteen kinds of local wetland plants in taihu lake region of china were investigated on their respective growth conditions, biomass allocations and nutrient uptake capacities. the test plants were cultured in 3 l nutrient solutions for 28 days with nh4 +-n, no3 --n and p concentrations of 38.5, 132.8 and 10 mg/l, respectively. mean species total biomass ranged from 1.2-21.6 g/plant with above/...

background: hypertension (htn) is the most commonly encountered systemic disease in general population. nutrient canals contain blood vessels and nerves that mostly appear in the anterior mandibular region. nutrient canals are not detected in radiographs of all patients, and their normalcy is controversial by many investigators. objectives: the present study investigated the correlation between...

The calyx of Held is a giant glutamatergic synapse in the auditory system and displays multiple forms of short-term facilitation and depression. This study presents a detailed model of short-term plasticity at this synapse. The main components of the model are the presynaptic vesicle dynamics, which include passive and activity-dependent recycling, calcium-dependent exocytosis and the postsynap...

The use of a Lead Slowing-Down Spectrometer (LSDS) is considered as a possible option for nondestructive assay of fissile material in used (spent) nuclear fuel. The primary objective is to quantify the remaining fissile content of the fuel consisting mainly of Pu and U. The characterization of spent fuel is particularly important for nuclear safeguards and for determining the fuel burn-up level...

Abstract. Potassium (K) availability constrains forest productivity. Brazilian eucalypt plantations are a good example of the K limitation wood production. Here, we built upon previously described model (CASTANEA-MAESPA-K) and used it to understand whether simulated decline in C source under deficiency was sufficient explain productivity plantations. We developed allocation schemes for both inc...
