purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the presence of the water soluble polymers viz hpmc, pvp and peg 6000 on aqueous solubility and complexation abilities of felodipine with or without presence of β-cyclodextrin (βcd) and hpβcd by phase solubility studies. the data revealed the initial increase in drug solubility followed by plateau in the presence of relatively low polymer c...

During a 1-year period, we sampled stream water total phosphorus (TP) concentrations daily and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentrations weekly in four Seattle area streams spanning a gradient of forested to urban-dominated land cover. The objective of this study was to develop time series models describing stream water phosphorus concentration dependence on seasonal variation in stream ...

Coprecipitation with iron (Fe) plays an essential role in the biogeochemical cycles of organic carbon (OC) and phosphorus (P) lakes. The sources composition matter (OM) mediate its association iron, which could thus influence immobilization phosphorus. In this study, water-soluble from sediments two typical states shallow lakes, macrophyte-dominated zones (M-WSOM) algae-dominated (A-WSOM), was ...

Identifying phosphorus (P) source areas and transport pathways is a key step in decreasing P loading to natural water systems. This study compared the effects of two modeled runoff generation processes – saturation excess and infiltration excess – on total phosphorus (TP) and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentrations in 10 catchment streams of a Catskill mountain watershed in southeaster...

Davis, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Research Scientist, Rufus L. Chaney, ARS, US Department of Agriculture. Heavy metals and nutrients released from diffuse sources by u...

OBJECTIVE High levels of dietary fiber, especially soluble fiber, are recommended to lower serum cholesterol levels and improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. It is not clear, however, how high levels of fiber affect mineral balance. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In a randomized crossover study, 13 patients with type 2 diabetes were fed a high-fiber (50 g total and 25 g solu...

For effective water quality management and policy development, spatial variability in the mean concentrations dynamics of riverine needs to be understood. Using chemistry (calcium, electrical conductivity, nitrate-nitrite, soluble reactive phosphorus, total nitrogen, phosphorus suspended solids) data for up 578 locations across Australian continent, we assessed impact climate zones (arid, Medit...

The agronomic efficiency of biochar-based fertilizers (BBFs) relies on the synthesis routes, properties, and interaction with soil–plant system. In our study, BBFs were produced from coffee husk, low-grade acidulated phosphate rock without addition magnesium (Mg). characterized for infrared analysis kinetics phosphorus (P) release in water or citric acid (CA). performance was tested by growing ...

The Cassava starch manufacturing wastewater (CSW) was used as a substrate to produce polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) by Cupriavidus sp. KKU38. The acidogenic fermentation process of CSW was first conducted to obtain volatile fatty acids (VFAs), which are more efficient in PHB production than raw CSW. The effect on substrate concentration and nutrients, i.e. nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations, by ...

Nutrient removal in treatment wetlands declines during winter months due to temperature. A 3-mo (wintertime) mesocosm study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of alum in immobilizing P as well as other nutrients during this period of reduced treatment efficiency. Eighteen mesocosms, triplicate alum, and three controls or no alum were established with either Typha spp., Schoenoplectus ...
