nitrogen use efficiency (nue) is usually lower in paddy rice (oryza sativa l.) than in upland crops. for this reason, any attempt to improve nue through the use of different nitrogen (n) carriers, different rice cultivars, properly timed n application, the use of ni-trification and urease inhibitorsis of prime interest. moreover, zinc (zn) next to n seems to be the most important soil factor af...

Pomegranate juice (PJ) and its products are directly used in foods due to their pleasant taste and palatability as well as preservative effects. In spite of useful effects of essential oils such as zataria multiflora Boiss essential oil (ZEO) on prolonging shelf-life of foods, their application is restricted due to their vigorous taste and aroma. In the present study, physicochemical c...

Fatty Acids, α-tocopherol, β-caroten, minerals, and some pomological properties of walnut genotypes from four locations (Iğdır, Tuzluca, Karakoyunlu, Kağızman) of Aras Valley (Eastern Turkey) were examined. In this study, the differences among the genotypes were determined in terms of some fruit characteristics, oil and protein contents, fatty acid composition, selenium content, α-tocophero...

The electronic properties of sphalerite (110) surface with Zn-vacancy and S-vacancy were calculated by using density-functional theory, and the effects of vacancy defect on the copper activation of sphalerite were investigated. The calculated results indicate that surface state occurs in the band gap of Zn-vacancy sphalerite, which is from the contribution of S 3p orbital at the first layer of ...

to evaluate the effect of zn sulfate foliar application on morphologic and quantitative characteristics of safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) cultivars, a field experiment carried out in ramin agriculture and natural resources university of khouzestan, iran, in a factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design with four replications, during 2012-2013. treatments consisted of two sp...

The objective of this work is to identify and eliminate antinutritional factors in the fruit kernel Irvingia smithii (wild mango tree) from KISANTU botanical garden (DRC) by thermal effect at different temperatures (T1: sun drying, T2: roasting an oven 130° C for 30 minutes, T3: boiling 45 minutes) as a function time. It appears results our analyzes that kernels contain low proportions: phytate...

In this work ternary CdZnS thin films were prepared by chemical bath deposition by doping CdS with different concentrations of Zn ions. The chemical bath comprised of cadmium nitrate [Cd(NO3)2], as a source of Cd 2+, zinc nitrate [ZnNO3)2]as source of Zn 2+ , thiourea [(NH2)2CS] as a source of sulphide ions [S 2]in the presence of ammonia [NH3] as a complexing agent. The competition mechanisms ...

In order to study the effect of different levels of the manure and foliar application of Zn and Mn fertilizers on the quantitative and qualitative yield of soybeans (var. Williams), a factorial experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2012. Treatments involved three levels of fertilizer: manure (zero as control; six and 12 t/ha), two lev...
