The asymmetric unit of the title polymeric compound, [Zn(3)(C(10)H(8)O(4))(3)(C(5)H(5)N)(2)](n) or [Zn(3)(dmbdc)(3)(py)(2)](n) (dmbdc = 2,5-dimethyl-benzene-dicarboxyl-ate; py = pyridine) contains two Zn(II) ions, one of which is located on an inversion centre, one and a half 2,5-dimethyl-benzene-dicarboxyl-ate ligands and one pyridine ligand. Each ZnO(6) octa-hedron is sandwiched between two Z...

In a peach orchard with an initial soil pH of 4.9, preplant application of 0, 13.2, 18.2, 27.3, or 54.2 kg lime/tree site altered soil pH (range after 1 year = 4.8-7.3) but did not affect numbers of Criconemella xenoplax or tree circumference. Liming also failed to reduce the incidence of bacterial canker, which affected 17% of the trees by the sixth year after planting. Four years after planti...

scarce water resources is a worldwide problem, still for iran, a country predominated by an arid and semi-arid climate, water limitation is more severe than for many other areas of the world. a field experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of irrigation regimes on growth, grain yield and irrigation water use efficiency in maize (zea maize l.) in 2006 at the research farm, college of ...

ETHALLY irradiated dogs usually recover promptly if given several billion fresh, autologous, marrow cells.1’2 Autologous marrow, stored at low temperature in glycerol or dimethyl-sulfoxide, induces a similar recovery.35 Recent studies of lethally irradiated mice have shown that infusions of fresh, isogenic leukocytes, if given in sufficient number, are followed by survival and return of marrow ...

The presence and accumulation in murine erythroleukemic cells transformed by Friend virus of the erythrocyte membrane-associated protein spectrin has been investigated. Spectrin was present in the uninduced cells and was induced 10- to 20-fold in dimethyl sulfoxide-treated differentiating cells. The intracellular concentration of spectrin reached a peak on the third day of dimethyl sulfoxide tr...

We studied the suitability of municipal solid waste compost (MSWC) application to submerged rice paddies in the perspective of metal pollution hazards associated with such materials. Experiments were conducted during the wet seasons of 1997, 1998 and 1999 on rice grown under submerged condition, at the Agriculture Experimental Farm, Calcutta University at Baruipur, West Bengal, India. The treat...
