Emission of high chrome tanning wastewater is catastrophic for the environment. In this work, effectiveness coir pith charcoal stated removal chromium from tannery wastewater. The yield was 2.4%. prepared characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). efficiency assessed experimenting with various parameters e.g., dose, contact time, and relative pH. content in raw after trea...

Abstract Aged conifer forests in Japan are expected to produce large-diameter logs, defined as logs with a top-end diameter of 30 cm or more. However, the knowledge and techniques for industrial processing Japanese wood species have not been sufficiently developed. This study was aimed at characterizing longitudinal component residual stress distribution sugi (Japanese cedar, Cryptomeria japoni...

Fire scar analysis is a fundamental tool for reconstructing fire regimes in conifer forests. However, little known about properties tropical montane conifers, where some assumptions limit dendroecological research. These include that fir species do not exhibit external scars and pines without have experienced past fires. This study describes patterns two growing Mexican temperate forests: sacre...

Musicians' skills in auditory processing depend highly on instrument, performance practice, and on level of expertise. Yet, it is not known though whether the style/genre of music might shape auditory processing in the brains of musicians. Here, we aimed at tackling the role of musical style/genre on modulating neural and behavioral responses to changes in musical features. Using a novel, fast ...

Fluxes of mineral nutrients in the xylem are strongly influenced by interactions with the surrounding stem tissues and are probably regulated by them. Toward a mechanistic understanding of these interactions, we applied stable isotope tracers of magnesium, potassium, and calcium continuously to the transpiration stream of cut bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) shoots to study their radial exchange at th...
