This paper introduces a method for estimating the shape of the solidification front along the height of a directionally-solidified multicrystalline silicon ingot. The technique uses net dopant density images, obtained on wafers via photoluminescence imaging under surface limited conditions, after the impact of grain boundaries is eliminated through an image processing procedure. By modeling the...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was grown in earthen pots containing soil of Balkasar Soil Series (Sandy Loam) in green house at the Department of Soil Science and SWC, Pir Mehr Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi during Rabi season, 2007. The Crop was treated with two levels of Phosphorus (40 and 80 kg P ha-1 ) in the form of SSP, TSP, NP and DAP. A basal doze of 100 kg N and 60 kg K...

Brown tumor is a giant cell lesion associated with hyperparathyroidism. It is a non-neoplastic condition and represents terminal stage of the remodeling process in hyperparathyroid state. We report a case of brown tumor with multiple lesions in craniofacial region associated with ectopic parathyroid adenoma revealed after acute L-thyroxine poisoning. This case report emphasizes on the need for ...

Sediments from the Southern Caspian Sea, located in Iranian coast were examined on the basis of P-fractionation (five forms of phosphorus) by a sequential extraction scheme. Ninety-six surface sediment samples (for each season with triplicate) were collected from eight sampling transects in 10 and 100 m depths during summer and winter in 2010-2011. The result indicated that the most abundant fo...

Iron has been recognized as an essential element for quite some time, yet much of the data concerning the uptake and translocation of this element by plants is conflicting or incomplete. Three factors have emerged, however, as being highly influential in the process of iron absorption. These factors are pH, phosphorus concentration, and the chemical form of the iron. OLSEN (7) has indicated tha...

phosphorus induces flowering and helps seed formation, but there is a big gap between phosphorus supply from natural sources and agriculture and industry demand. in order to investigate phosphorus feeding over long time from iran regions' apatites on rose plants characteristics, var. black magic in zeoponic culture, an experiment was conducted as factorial on the basis of completely random...

BACKGROUND Hyperphosphatemia provides relevant and dangerous evidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in patients undergoing periodic hemodialysis. The relationship between hyperphosphatemia and cardiovascular calcification, with the consequences of high morbidity and mortality after cardiovascular events, is well-defined. Hyperphosphatemia is treated by dietary limitation of phosphorus inges...

CONTEXT Skeletal muscle weakness and impaired gait function are common risk factors for disease and even death. Therefore, identification of the modifiable causes of skeletal muscle weakness should have high priority. Knowledge regarding optimal vitamin D treatment in cases of pancreatic insufficiency is scarce. CASE REPORT We report a case of a slow decrease in ability to walk distances more...
