Methods suggested for the determination of carbon monoxide in blood may be considered as belonging to either of these two classes: first, those in which the relative content of carbon monoxide in blood is measured; second, those in which the absolute quantity of carbon monoxide per given quantity of blood is determined. In the first class, the result is expressed as the percentage saturation of...

In order to evaluate the dynamics of carbon storage during forest succession and explore the significance of water relations and soil stability in forest environments, a study was conducted in 2011. This study investigated the dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC) fractions and its protection through aggregation along the successional forests. An experiment in South China examined pine forest (...

A combination of high performance size exclusion chromatography with organic carbon detector and ultraviolet detector coupled with peak-fitting technique and fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectrometry applied fluorescence regional integration method was conducted to determine the characteristics of organic matter during nitrification. The batch scale of bionet nitrification without or...

Soil carbon and nitrogen contents play an important role in sustaining soil physical and chemical quality and help to have healthy environments. The continues conversion of rangelands to arable lands has the potential to change carbon and nitrogen sequestration. In this study to evaluate the effects of land use change on soil organic carbon and nitrogen stock, forty samples collected from north...

Formation of d-phosphoglycerate, glycolate, glycerate, and serine by tobacco leaves was analyzed between 4 and 60 set of 14C02 fixation during photosynthesis. With decreasing time, the percentage of the total 14C incorporated into 3phosphoglycerate increased; the percentage into the other compounds, including glycolate, decreased to nearly zero. At 4 or 11 set 3-phosphoglycerate and glycerate w...

Pd@N-doped carbon (Pd@CN) exhibited four and two times higher peak current density toward ethanol electrooxidation than Pd@active carbon and Pd@non-nitrogen carbon. Controlled experimental results indicated that the incorporation of nitrogen into the carbon matrix improved the percentage of Pd(0) and increased the binding energy of Pd in Pd@CN, and accordingly enhanced the catalytic activity.

organic matter and its related soil properties are among the most important indicators of soil quality. despite the importance of soil organic carbon, no comprehensive study has been done on organic carbon changes in soils of the isfahan province. the objective of this research was to investigate factors affecting soil organic carbon in soils of this province. a total of 248 surface soil sample...

the effect of fire was investigated on some soil chemical properties of forest area of baghe shadi herat- yazd province. to perform the experiment, 18 profiles of soil in control area and 7 profiles from each of burned areas were dug and samples of two depth (0-15 and 15-30) in total of 64 samples were collected. results showed effect of the area was significant in organic matter and carbon per...
