[1] Recent work indicates that processes controlling solute mass transfer between mobile and less mobile domains in porous media may be quantified by combining electrical geophysical methods and electrically conductive tracers. Whereas direct geochemical measurements of solute preferentially sample the mobile domain, electrical geophysical methods are sensitive to changes in bulk electrical con...

catalysts with the formula of laco(1+x)o(3+δ), where 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, were studied for oxidation of co and c2h6 in a synthetic exhaust gas, comprising 6.0 % co and 0.2 % c2h6 in ar. ethane was selected as a model for hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas. the performance of catalysts is correlated to their properties, particularly their redox in oxidizing and reducing atmospheres. xrd patterns show perovsk...

Inefficient management of nutrient inputs has put a large constraint on the environment and human’s health. Indiscriminate use of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers has led to ground water pollution. So the farmers has to pay close attention to nutrient management and incorporate the concept of balanced plant nutrition into their farming techniques. The balanced nutrition level to plant is pro...

Among different doses of gamma rays, 1.5 kR induced 71.84% callus in Basrnati rice in amodified MS medium and 2% redifferentiation under anon-saline environment, 20% callusing response with 7.5%,2.8% and 2.5% redifferentiation was induced by 2.0 kR at electrical conductivity (EC) of 4,s and 6 dS.m of NaCl respectively, in regeneration medium. A non-irradiated non-saline environment reveale...

in the management of river basins, prediction of river water quality is essential to maintain water quality within standard limits. this study performed a time-series analysis of the prediction of chlorine concentration and electrical conductivity time series data for the period of 1991-2005 from sefidrood river in northern iran. the seasonal prediction of chlorine and electrical conductivity t...

A total of 1014 samples taken from Lithuanian cows at the end of milking were tested on several parameters: milk reaction with Mastest (developed, tested, and produced at the Lithuanian Veterinary Institute), California Mastitis Test (CMT), Bernburg, Profilac reagent, Eimü-milchtest. Somatic cell count (SCC) was established using the flow cytometry method and Anadis F device; electrical conduct...

The aim of this study was to assess the influence of trout farm effluents on water quality parameters in the Dohezar Stream. In this study two trout farms and 7 stations were selected and physiochemical of water, including air and water temperatures, dissolved oxygen concentration (DO), pH, electrical conductivity (EC), water flow and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) were measured every 30 days ...

Making several simultaneous measurements with different kinds of sensors at the same location in a solution is difficult because of crosstalk between the sensors. In addition, because the conditions at different locations in plant beds differ, in situ measurements in agriculture need to be done in small localized areas. We have fabricated a multimodal sensor on a small Si chip in which a pH sen...

in this research, the spatial distribution of electrical conductivity and ph of springs, ghanats and the base flow concentration places on the streams of central and south-west and central parts of the hamedan-bahar plain were evaluated. using different geostatistical methods such as kriging, minimum curvature, inverse distance, natural neighbor, local polynomial and radial basis functions, 108...

The electrical conductivity (EC) of soil is generally measured after soil extraction, so this method cannot represent the in situ EC of soil (e.g., EC of soils with different moisture contents) and therefore lacks comparability in some cases. Using a resistance measurement apparatus converted from a configuration of soil microbial fuel cell, the in situ soil EC was evaluated according to the Oh...
