BACKGROUND External nutrient discharges have caused eutrophication in many estuaries and coastal seas such as the Baltic Sea. The sedimented nutrients can affect bacterial communities which, in turn, are widely believed to contribute to release of nutrients such as phosphorus from the sediment. METHODS We investigated relationships between bacterial communities and chemical forms of phosphoru...

Phosphorus can be removed from wastewater biologically, chemically, or through a combination of the two. In this study, we applied environmental life-cycle assessment to develop a metric with which decision-makers can compare processes. Two phosphorus-removal scenarios were contrasted-one based on a desktop-level design and one based on full-scale operational data. To achieve 0.5 mg/L effluent ...

to evaluate the effect of chemical and bio-fertilizer on nitrogen, phosphorus and potash concentration, biochemical traits and calyxes yield of roselle, an experiment was conducted in the split plot based on randomized coplete block design with three replications, at the research station in zabol university, during 2013 and 2014. the main plot consisted of three levels: phosphorus, nitrogen and...

BACKGROUND: Soil nutrition management is an important factor, which determines the plant growth. Soil fertility is determined by the presence or absence of nutrients i.e. macro and micronutrients, which are required in optimum level for crop. OBJECTIVES: Evaluate the effect different amount of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers in maize field under sugarcane ...

an experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications and 14 fertilizer treatments in year 2014. the treatments were including the control, application of chemical fertilizers according the soil analysis, application of 15, 30 and 45 tons of municipal  waste compost per ha as simple and with 25, 50 and 75% of chemical fertilizers. the results revealed that 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...

An efficient method is developed for the synthesis of single crystalline fibrous phosphorus submicron materials. Via the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique, fibrous phosphorus fibers with diameters from ∼150 nm to 2 μm were prepared directly from amorphous red phosphorus. The as-prepared fibrous phosphorus exhibited interesting photocatalytic properties.

The phosphorus chemical shift tensors of two dithiadiphosphetane disulfides, 2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-dithia-2,4-diphosphetane-2,4-di sulfide (1) and 2,4-bis(methylthio)-1,3-dithia-2,4-diphosphetane-2,4-disu lfi de (2), have been characterized by solid-state 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements. The weak homonuclear dipolar interaction between the two 31P nuclei in each of thes...
