Abstract This study aims to determine the effect of young coconut waste biochar and goat manure application on chemical properties entisol. The Biochar Research Station, Universitas Syiah Kuala, conducted research. used a factorial randomized block design consisting two factors. first factor was dose (0, 5, 10 t ha -1 ), second 10, 15 ). Parameters observed in this were soil analysis entisol (p...

The amphipathic alpha helix is an often-encountered secondary structural motif in biologically active peptides and proteins. An amphipathic helix is defined as an alpha helix with opposing polar and nonpolar faces oriented along the long axis of the helix. In a recent review article we grouped amphipathic helixes into seven distinct classes (A, H, L, G, K, C, and M) based upon a detailed analys...

Ferritin concentrates iron as a hydrous ferric oxide in a protein cavity (8 nm in diameter) by using eight pores along the threefold symmetry axes of the octahedral supramolecular structure. The role of ligand exchange in the entry of Fe(II) hexahydrate into ferritin protein has been studied with [Cr(TREN)(H2O)(OH)] [TREN N(CH2CH2NH2)3], a model for Fe(H2O)6 with only two exchangeable ligands. ...

Radiological impact models are important tools that support nuclear safety. For tritium, a special radionuclide that readily enters the life cycle, the processes involved in its transport into the environment are complex and inadequately understood. For example, tritiated water (HTO) enters plants by leaf and root uptake and is converted to organically bound tritium (OBT) in exchangeable and no...

An RNA oligonucleotide that contains the binding site for Escherichia coli ribosomal protein S8 was prepared with uniform 15N isotopic enrichment and uniform deuterium enrichment at all non-exchangeable sites using enzymatic methods. The RNA binding site, which contains 44 nt, forms a hairpin in solution and requires Mg2+for proper folding. The longitudinal magnetization recovery rates of the e...

Total body water (TBW) determination by tritium space could be factitiously elevated by exchangeable H+ contained within water-soluble chemical configurations. Should this nonaqueous (molecular) exchangeable H+ turn out to be a large fraction of total exchangeable H+, TBW measurement by tritiated water (THO) dilution would display a systematic upward and non-random error. TBW was measured by TH...

The growth rate of Sarcoma 180 and of a mammary adenocarcinoma in potassium deficient mice did not significantly differ from that in pair-fed control mice. The po tassium concentration of these tumors in potassium-deficient mice was the same as in the control mice, although the potassium concentration of muscle and plasma was only half of that in the controls. The in vivo equilibration of K@ in...

Efforts have been made in this study to stabilize the sewage sludge mixed with sugarcane trash in four different proportions: 20% (T(1)); 40% (T(2)); 60% (T(3)) and 80% (T(4)), under laboratory conditions using epigeic earthworm (Oligochaeta) Eisenia fetida. The composting potential of worm was also evaluated in 100% sewage sludge treatment (T(5)). The changes in chemical properties of substrat...

ABSTRACT The use of high doses vinasse in sugarcane crop can cause modifications the chemical characteristics soil. aim this study was to evaluate effect application on an Ultisol cultivated with for 210 days. treatments used were equivalent 0 (D0), 150 (D150), 300 (D300), 600 (D600) and 1200 (D1200) m3 ha-1 plus a control treatment mineral fertilization. experimental design completely randomiz...
