Increasing urbanisation and industrialisation have led to a dramatic reduction in forest area, and now only culturally protected remnants of natural forests and some new plantations remain in most areas of the north of Iran. To investigate the status of the chemical and physical characteristics of soil under these remnant forests and assess the possible impacts of reforestation on soil properti...

1. Simultaneous measurements of exchangeable Na+, exchangeable K+ , extracellular fluid volume and total body water, with 24Na, 43K, "Br and 3Hz0, were carried out in patients with adrenocortical insufficiency due to pituitary ablation performed 1-3 months previously. 2. The first group of five patients was studied before and after withdrawal of maintenance prednisone (2.5 mg three times daily,...

Fish, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and mammal share the interesting physiological fact that their plasma salt concentration ([Na ϩ ] pw) is virtually identical, amounting to ϳ9 g/l. This is the equivalent of a 0.9% salt solution. In humans, the [Na ϩ ] pw is maintained within a very narrow range, where its value varies by only 1% (11). Diseases that perturb the [Na ϩ ] pw are collectively known...

Abstract In this paper, a new technique is introduced to obtain non-uniform Berry-Esseen bounds for normal and nonnormal approximations by unbounded exchangeable pairs. This does not rely on the concentration inequalities developed Chen Shao [4,5] can be applied quadratic forms general Curie-Weiss model.

The use of the Mehlich-3 (M3) soil test procedure to assess plant availability numerous macro and micronutrients has become common at testing labs across US. is used for tests phosphorus (P) potassium (K) in Kansas; however, data other base cations existing methods are scarce Kansas soils. objective this study was investigate relationship between M3 ammonium acetate (AA) extractable calcium (Ca...

Field and greenhouse studies have confirmed that wattle brush ash may cause marked increases in yield . when sugarcane is grown in certain midland soils. This effect was associated with the following factors: (i) decreased soil acidity (ii) increased P and K uptake by the plant (iii) increased soil exchangeable Ca, Mg, P, K and base saturation values (iv) reduced soil levels of A1 and Mn (v) re...

Despite the importance of cholesterol in the formation and function of caveolar microdomains in plasma membranes, almost nothing is known regarding the structural properties, cholesterol dynamics or intracellular factors affecting caveolar cholesterol dynamics. A non-detergent method was employed to isolate caveolae/raft domains from purified plasma membranes of murine fibroblasts. A series of ...
