Estuaries are well known for their potential in removing metal from fresh water to provide micro-nutrients to aquatic life. In the present investigation, we have tried to bring out the metal removal potential of estuaries during accidental spills. For this purpose artificial river water containing high concentration of Mn, Cu, Zn, Ni and Pb were mixed with sea water at different salinity regime...

We propose to replace Ga in (Ga,Mn)As with Li and Zn as a route to high Curie temperature, carrier mediated ferromagnetism in a dilute moment n-type semiconductor. Superior material characteristics, rendering Li(Zn,Mn)As a realistic candidate for such a system, include high solubility of the isovalent substitutional Mn impurity and carrier concentration controlled independently of Mn doping by ...

the study aimed to come up with a list of specific macroalgae species, which could be used to biomonitor specific metal elements in the coastal waters of east africa. water extraction, edta, aqua regia extraction and optimized bcr 3-step sequential extracts were used to mimic bioavailable metals under various environmental conditions. the results indicated that ulva lactuca could be used as a b...

One of the most paramount processes that play a considerable role in reducing the concentration of heavy metals during estuarine mixing is flocculation. Not only does such a process cause a huge percentage of metals to come into the particulate phase, but also it provides ample nutrients for the aquatic life. In the present study, impact of such factors as salinity, pH and DO on flocculation of...

The present study used a hydrothermal technique to synthesize undoped and Mn 2+ doped CdS/Zn 3 (PO 4 ) 2 semiconducting nanocomposite materials. Powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectrometer, Fourier transform- Infrared Spectroscopy-FT-IR, and photoluminescence techniques were employed to study structural, optical, and luminescence propertie...

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 levels of mn...

In order to reveal the influence of the metals of soil-water interface in a manganese mine (Xiangtan, China), on local water environment, there are six kinds of metals (Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb) characterized by measuring their concentration, correlation, source, and special distribution using principal component analysis, single factor, and Nemero comprehensive pollution index. The results s...

an experiment was conducted in the experimental field of seed and plant improvement institute in karaj for three consecutive cropping seasons, 2001-2003, to study the effects of eight different fertilizer treatments including some microelements on grain yield and protein content of a bread wheat cultivar pishtaz. the experiment was in a rcbd with three replications.eight fertilizer treatments w...

in the paper, the contents of calcium (ca), magnesium (mg), zinc (zn), copper (cu), iron (fe),manganese (mn), chromium (cr), lead (pb), cadmium (cd), aluminium (al), and nickel (ni) were determinedin the meat of roe deers, wild boars, and hares coming from central region of poland. measurements werecarried out using atomic absorption spectrometry. the ranges of median values found for the conce...
