the nutritive values of non- processed and processed grape pomace with neurospora sitophila were evaluated. the chemical compositions and physical characteristics of samples were evaluated by laboratory analysis. an in vitro digestibility experiment was done to determine digestibility coefficients of dry matter, organic matter and also digestible organic matter in dry matter (domd) to estimate ...

Objective:  In addition to the role of organic matter in plant nutrition, this material improves soil quality, physical structure, ventilation and water supply, and ease of penetration and expansion is rooted deep in the soil surface. Effects of organic matter due to climatic factors, soil characteristics may vary from region to region, resulting in organic materials management must be given to...

The kinetics of sulfate reduction and inorganic nutrient production (~C02' ammonium, and phosphate) were examined in the sediments at five sites in the southern Chesapeake Bay, using long term (> 200 d) sediment decomposition experiments. Average first order rate constants for these processes (at 25°C) decreased from 8.2 to 3.7 yrin the surface sediments (0-2 em), to 2.1 to 0.2 yrat 12-14 em. T...

Some primitive meteorites are carbon-rich objects containing a variety of organic molecules that constitute a valuable record of organic chemical evolution in the universe prior to the appearance of microorganisms. Families of compounds include hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, amino acids, amines, amides, heterocycles, phosphonic acids, sulfonic acids, sugar-related...

the aerobic granular systems represent a good alternative to substitute the conventional activatedsludge process in the treatment of industrial effluents due to the lower surface requirements. in this work the effluent from a seafood industry, characterized by a high variability and the presence of residual amounts of coagulant and flocculant reagents, was used to study the development of aerob...

planting shrub seedlings under oil mulches has frequently been used for stabilizing mobile sands in iran for during the last three decades. sandy desert of samad abad, sarakhs, northeast iran, has been fixed by cultivating seedling of haloxylon aphyllum under the oil mulches. therefore this study was designed to investigate the effects of the sand fixation project on soil and vegetation propert...
