In order to investigate the behavior of rare earth elements (REEs) and uranium (U) in marine organism, the concentrations of REEs and U in some brown algae samples taken on the coast of Niigata Prefecture were determined. In addition, laboratory model experiment to uptake these elements using living and dried algae (Undaria pinnatifida and Sargassum hemiphyllum) was also carried out to survey t...

It was shown by van Rees [18] that a latin square of order n cannot have more than n(n− 1)/18 latin subsquares of order 3. He conjectured that this bound is only achieved if n is a power of 3. We show that it can only be achieved if n ≡ 3 mod 6. We also state several conditions that are equivalent to achieving the van Rees bound. One of these is that the Cayley table of a loop achieves the van ...

Rare earth elements (REEs) enriched fertilizers have been commonly used in China since the 1980s, thus inducing a growing concern about their environmental impact in agriculture. In this work, the effect of some light REEs nitrate mixture and La(3+) nitrate on seed germination, seedling growth and antioxidant metabolism in Triticum durum was investigated with the aim of clarifying the potential...

in this article, we study the artin-rees property in  c(x), in the  rings of fractions of  c(x) and in the factor rings of c(x) . we show that c(x)/(f) is an artin-rees ring if and only if  z(f)  is an open p-space. a necessary and sufficient condition for the local rings of  c(x)   to be artin-rees rings is that each prime ideal in  c(x)  becomes minimal and it turns out that every local ring ...

Simple rings with a one-sided minimal ideal may be represented as Rees matrix rings, and conversely. The latter are defined as I ×Λ matrices over a division ring with only a finite number of nonzero entries with certain addition and multiplication. For Rees matrix rings we construct here their isomorphisms, their translational hulls and isomorphisms of the translational hulls, all this in terms...

Rare earth elements (REEs) have been increasingly emitted into the 8 atmosphere with a worldwide increase in use of these metals. However, the research 9 on REEs in atmospheric particulates is fairly limited. In this paper, atmospheric 10 particulates including total suspended particulate (TSP) matter and particles with an 11 equivalent aerodynamic diameter less than 10 μm (PM10) were collected...

It has long been observed that rare earth elements (REEs) regulate multiple facets of plant growth and development. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear. Here, using electron microscopic autoradiography, we show the life cycle of a light REE (lanthanum) and a heavy REE (terbium) in horseradish leaf cells. Our data indicate that REEs were first anchored on the plasma membran...
