the effects of different levels of nitrogen (100, 200, 300 and 400 mg/l) and potassium (125, 250 and 375 mg/l) on yield and leaf n and k concentrations of tomato were investigated in perlit culture using a factorial randomized design with three replications. the highest fruit yield was obtained with 200 mg/l n. higher levels of nitrogen decreased tomato yield. with increasing nitrogen concentra...

Triton X-100 is one of the most widely-applied man-made non-ionic surfactants. This detergent can hardly be degraded by biological treatment. Hence, a more efficient degradation method is indispensable for the total mineralization of this pollutant. Application of heterogeneous photocatalysis based on a TiO₂ suspension is a possible solution. Its efficiency may be improved by the addition of va...

background there has not been any published literature in iran about the evaluation of hemodialysis patients’ knowledge in relation to dietary sources of protein, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and fluids. objectives therefore, the present study was performed with this aim, in patients with renal failure treated with hemodialysis. patients and methods fifty hemodialysis patients were recruited. ...

abstract this study was carried out in farm of dehkhoda institute (2013-2014). the study was done as randomized complete blocks design with five potassium sulfate amounts (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 kg/ha) and four replications. according to results, potassium affected the number of stalk numbers, yield, and the amount of obtainable sugar (p<0.01) and purity (p<0.05). the highest stalk numbers (18...

Intracellular potassium activity in guinea pig left atria was measured using potassium ion-selective microelectrodes and conventional microelectrodes. The effects of extracellular potassium concentration and acetylcholine on both intracellular potassium activity and the relationship between the resting membrane potential and the potassium equilibrium potential were investigated. Intracellular p...

1. The effect of extracellular potassium on the transport of sodium and potassium in rat thymocytes has been studied in vitro. 2. A significant increase in the rate constant for total and ouabain-sensitive sodium efflux was demonstrated at an extracellular potassium concentration of 1 mmol/l as compared with that at either 0 or 2 mmol/l. 3. At potassium concentrations below 3 mmol/l ouabain-sen...

this study was conducted under ahvaz, iran environmental condition during 2012 and 2013 growing seasons in order to investigate the influence of foliar application of potassium on some physiological and biochemical characteristics of three olive cultivars including ‘mission’, ‘koroneiki’ and ‘dezfuli’. potassium sulfate in different concentrations of 0, 1, and 2 g l-1 was sprayed twice on selec...

Persulfates ((peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and peroxydisulfate (PDS)) can disintegrate waste activated sludge (WAS), but their influence on volatile fatty acid (VFA) production during anaerobic fermentation is largely unclear. Particularly, it unknown whether persulfates improve without any preactivation. This study investigated how the direct addition of PMS PDS into fermenter influences VFA from W...
