in order to evaluate the effects of organic fertilizer complements application (aminol forte, fosnutren and kadostim) on grain yield, milling properties and nitrogen use efficiency of two rice (oryza sativa l.) cultivars, a field experiment in factorial layout and a randomized complete block design with 10 treatments and 3 replications was conducted at rice research institute of iran in 2009. t...

To study the incorporation of radioactive phosphorus by Lactobacillus leichmannii growing in media with and without vitamin B12, the cells were grown either in a complete medium (broth plus liver extract) or in a test medium (Skeggs et al.: J. Biol. Chem., 176, 1459, 1948) with a limiting quantity of B12. After 48 hours' growth, the cells were harvested, washed, and resuspended in the test medi...

In order to clarify the mechanism that zinc and phosphorus elements entering the micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings developed on Ti-6Al-4V alloys, anodic coatings containing different zinc and phosphorus were fabricated using an orthogonal experiment of four factors with three levels in an electrolyte containing EDTA-ZnNa₂, KOH, and phytic acid. Surface morphology, element composition, chemical...

Iron is an important element for modern sewage treatment, inter alia to remove phosphorus from sewage. However, phosphorus recovery from iron phosphorus containing sewage sludge, without incineration, is not yet economical. We believe, increasing the knowledge about iron-phosphorus speciation in sewage sludge can help to identify new routes for phosphorus recovery. Surplus and digested sludge o...

Barcelona; Tel: 935811879; Fax: 935812013. Abstract This work analyses (by means of simulation) the effect of reducing the length of the aerobic phase in the start-up of an Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal (EBPR) proce...

Elemental phosphorus displays an impressive number of allotropes with highly diverse chemical and physical properties. White phosphorus has now been filled into single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) from the liquid and thereby stabilized against the highly exothermic reaction with atmospheric oxygen. The encapsulated tetraphosphorus molecules were visualized with transmission electron microscop...

Oligoribonucleotides have been synthesized directly from unprotected ribonucleosides by a chemical polymerization approach using phosphorus tris-azoles. The procedure involves two steps: (i) the reaction of unprotected ribonucleoside with phosphorus tris-azole and (ii) the in situ oxidation of the resulting phosphite with iodine and water. Several phosphorus tris-azoles were investigated for ge...

In this study we investigate the efficacy of iron gettering as a function of electrically inactive phosphorus in the emitter in combination with low temperature annealing steps. To achieve different amounts of electrically inactive phosphorus in the emitter a highly doped PSG produced emitter with a large plateau depth of electrical active phosphorus is etched back stepwise by a wet-chemical pr...

Water reuse through greywater irrigation has been adopted worldwide and has been proposed as a potential sustainable solution to increased water demands. Despite widespread adoption, there is limited domestic knowledge of greywater reuse. There is no pressure to produce low-level phosphorus products and current guidelines and legislation, such as those in Australia, may be inadequate due to the...
