in this study, a bacterial species which could remove lead from wastewater was isolated from lead contaminated soil prepared in the laboratory. based on the biochemical and morphological characterization the bacteria were identified as brevundimonas vesicularis. the biosorption potentiel of powdered dry biomass of b. vesicularis was investigated by batch adsorption experiments. it was found tha...

In order to investigate the effect of different levels of nitrogen and bio-fertilizers on yield of canola plants in Qazvin, Iran, a split-plot design was conducted on the base of randomized complete block design with four replications. Treatments included 3 levels of nitrogen (0, 75 and 150 kg ha-1) and bio-fertilizers on four levels (no inoculation, Azotobacter, Azospirillum and a combination ...

objective: this study is an attempt to examine the anti apoptotic effects of bio on rat msc culture. materials and methods: rat marrow primary cell culture was established and exposure groups were defined; cultures with 0.01, 0.1, 1 μm bio. cells cultured without bio treatment were used as controls. during culture expantion, the average doubling time, as an index of the rate of cell growth, wer...

this research set out to evaluate the effect of combined biological and chemical nitrogen fertilizers on some corn hybrids. to this end an experiment was conducted as split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications. main plots were included: use of chemical and biological fertilizers in four levels: 100% chemical fertilizer, 75% chemical fertilizer + 100% bio-...

in order to study the effect of chemical and biological fertilizers on silage corn under different plant densities, a split plot experiment was carried out in a randomized completely block design with three replicates in south western iran. the main plot included nitrogen fertilizer treatment at three levels (n1: with out chemical and organic fertilizers, n2: 75% chemical fertilizer + 100% orga...

As a teenager in a South Dakota hamlet (Pierpont, population 326 in the 1940 census) I had no idea that I would become a scientist. The only formal science course my tiny high school (40 students in four grades, taught by three teachers) offered was physics, taught by the sports coach (a history major) and featuring the ‘‘dissection’’ of a 1928 Overland (teacher: ‘‘I have been told that the mod...

The paper focuses on bio®lms subject to turbulent ̄ow and high liquid velocity (of the order of 1 m s) which can be found in heat exchangers, water distribution systems and in some wastewater reactors. An overall model describing bio®lm development is presented, which includes the effects of biomass detachment due to the hydrodynamic forces. A methodology for estimating substrate consumption fr...

COURSE DESCRIPTION: The course is designed for graduate students in biology wanting to aquire a more detailed working knowledge and appreciation of mammalian diversity in structure, function, ethology, and ecology. Knowledge and skills aquired in this course will be useful to field and laboratory studies in ecology, evolution, animal behavior, biogeography, wildlife management, and related disc...
