Wetland soils are heterogenous in nature, and biogeochemical properties show different spatial autocorrelation structures that translate into fineand coarse-scale spatial patterns. Understanding these patterns and how they relate to other ecosystem properties (e.g., vegetation) is critical to restore wetlands impacted by nutrient influx. Our goal was to investigate Water Conservation Area 2A, a...

Widespread marine anoxia triggered by the runoff and recycling of nutrients was a key phenomenon associated with Frasnian–Famennian (FF) mass extinction. However, relative importance global-scale processes versus local influences on site-specific environmental change remains poorly understood. Here, nitrogen-isotope (δ15N) trends are combined organic-biomarker, phosphorus, Rock-Eval data in FF ...

Excitotoxicity results in a significant increase in Ca2+ influx; essentially from open N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) channels that cause a secondary rise in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration. It is correlated with neuronal death induced by Ca2+ overload. Dysfunction of NMDARs is associated with excitotoxic neuronal death in neurodegenerative disorders. In this study, the effects of...

This study was designed to investigate the effects of a growing H6 hepatoma on the intracellular element content in three distinctly different tissue cell populations of the mouse host (hepatocytes, fibroblasts, and crystal enterocytes). X-ray microanalysis measurements of the intranuclear concentrations of several elements (sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, and potassium) were m...

(The effect of different soil properties on arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization of peanuts, sorghum and maize). Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are important for plant growth since they increase mineral influx. However, symbiosis efficiency is affected by many environmental factors. This study evaluated the effects of different treatments (+/phosphorus; +/liming; +/organic matter; field, san...

Hypothermic potassium cardioplegia is now commonly used to protect the myocardium during surgically induced ischemia. Because the potassium-related membrane depolarization has been shown to increase calcium influx, we undertook this study to define the effects of varying the calcium content in hyperkalemic perfusates and the effects of using magnesium instead of or in addition to potassium as t...

• Point sources of nitrogen and phosphorus are facilities that discharge wastewater containing these nutrients directly into the waterway. nonpoint sources discharge nutrients indirectly by rainwater runoff; agriculture can be a cause of nonpoint nutrient pollution from chemical fertilizers and animal manure. Nutrients, primarily nitrogen and phosphorus, are a leading cause of water quality imp...

This study was designed to investigate the effects of a growing Ho hepatoma on the intracellular element content in three distinctly different tissue cell populations of the mouse host (hepatocytes, fibroblasts, and cryptai enterocytes). X-ray microanalysis measurements of the intranuclear concentra tions of several elements (sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, and potassium) were ...

The effects of varying extracellular pH on the rates of uptake of titratable anions by human erythrocytes under conditions of constant intracellular pH have been determined for a series of highly related anions, the phosphate "analogs." These compounds are simply substituted phosphorus oxyacids, differing in the number and acidity of titratable protons: phosphate (HPO4(2-), pKa 6.8); phosphite ...
