abstract the objectives of this research was to evaluate the rhizospheric effects of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) on the status of various inorganic p fractions and total organic p in 10 calcareous soils amended with 1% (w/w) municipal sewage sludge from the refinery of shahrekord city under rhizobox conditions. thus, wheat plant was planted in completely randomized design with three replicatio...

Because of the premature failure of in-service soft-body armor containing the ballistic fiber poly[(benzo-[1,2-d:5,4-d']-benzoxazole-2,6-diyl)-1,4-phenylene] (PBO), the Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated a research program to investigate the reasons for this failure and to develop testing methodologies and protocols ...

Laboratory and full-scale experiments were performed in order to investigate the effect of mixing, as represented by the mean velocity gradient, G-value (Grady et al, 1999), and time dynamics in chemical phosphorus removal. The results prove that the chemical reactions occurring during phosphorus removal upon addition of trivalent metal salts (Fe, Al) cannot be described with the currently appl...

The concept that hyperphosphatemia in hemodialysis (HD) patients is a risk factor for various outcomes has now been widely accepted. Many patients on maintenance HD with a high serum phosphorus level are linked to the development of aspects of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder; they are thus recommended to maintain serum phosphorus level within a normal range [1]. In order to con...

Hydrological restoration of historically isolated wetlands may mitigate phosphorus (P) loss. The objectives of this study were to quantify P in soil, determine effect of (1) soil characteristics on P release, and (2) antecedent soil hydrological conditions on P dynamics. Humic/fulvic acid bound P and residual P accounted for majority of P (>78%) in surface soils. Soils with highest nutrient sta...

dianchi lake is one of the most three seriously eutrophic lakes in china. in the present study, the phosphorus (p) and nitrogen (n) fractions in 37 surface sediments samples collected in the dianchi lake were investigated. the total phophorus (tp) in sediments was divided into two parts: inorganic p (ip) and residual p (res-p). the results showed that the total phosphorus content in surface sed...

Phosphorus (P) deficiency is a major constraint to crop production on highly weathered, lowactivity clay soils in the humid zone of West Africa. Past research suggested a linear relationship between grain yield and P uptake over a range of fertilizer P applied to upland rice cultivars. However, there is lack of information on how these relationships are affected by the long-term fertilizer ...

Problem statement: There is evidence that the type of fiber influences the development of nephrocalcinosis in rats, but the effect of pectin was unknown. Approach: The effects of dietary pectin and cellulose on kidney calcification were studied in female rats. The diets used contained either 0.4-0.6% phosphorus and either cellulose (10%, w/w) or pectin. The purified diets used were balanced for...
