The widespread, intentional and increasingly frequent chemical emplacement in the troposphere has gone unidentified and unremarked in the scientific literature for years. The author presents evidence that toxic coal combustion fly ash is the most likely aerosolized particulate sprayed by tanker-jets for geoengineering, weather-modification and climate-modification purposes and describes some of...

Cluster, correlation, and multivariate regression analyses were used to rationalize the effects of grain composition, starch fine structure, and leaching characteristics on cooked rice texture (hardness and stickiness). The head rice grain composition of 23 U.S. long-grain cultivars was evaluated in terms of apparent amylose content, crude protein, and surface lipids. Starch samples were prepar...

*Corresponding author ([email protected]) Abstract: Chronic renal failure of an endemic nature and unknown aetiology affects people in the North-Central Province of Sri Lanka. People affected, consume fluoride rich water and almost exclusively use sub-standard aluminium pots for cooking and storing water. Leaching of aluminium under different fluoride stress and under the acidic conditions used...

The recovery of uranium and other valuable metals from Polish Peribaltic sandstones were examined. The solid-liquid extraction is the first stage of the technology of uranium production and it is crucial for the next stages of processing. In the laboratory experiments uranium was leached with efficiencies 71-100 % by acidic lixiviants. Satisfactory results were obtained for the alkaline leachin...

the addition of cottonwood and ash sapwood powder to ypssl2 medium influenced the mycelial growth of 13 species of freshwater lignicolous ascomycetes and hyphornycetes. these species fall into three groups with respect to their responses to the presence of leached or non-leached wood powder. neither wood type showed strong inhibitory effect on the mycelial growth of the species. leaching did no...

Young bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) containing root-absorbed (45)Ca and (86)Rb were leached to determine the pathway and mechanism of cation loss by leaching. Calcium is leached from the exchangeable calcium fraction within the plant by a process of ion exchange and diffusion involving exchange sites both within the leaf and on the leaf surface. Leaching of cations is primarily a passive pro...

In this study, Boron carbide was synthesized using Mesoporous Carbon CMK-1, Boron oxide, and magnesiothermic reduction process. The Effects of temperature and magnesium grain size on the formation of boron carbide were studied using nano composite precurser containg mesoporous carbon. Samples were leached in 2M Hydrochloric acid to separate Mg, MgO and magnesium-borat phases. SEM, XRD and Xray ...
