Perchlorate and iodide concentrations were determined in brown (Undaria pinnatifida and Laminaria japonica) and red (Porphyra sp.) edible seaweeds, which are commonly consumed by Korean people, with the use of ion chromatography, coupled with a tandem mass spectrometer. Seaweeds (i.e., good sources of iodine) are among the most important plant life in the ocean and commonly consumed as food and...

We developed an equation for estimating Arundo donax shoot dry weight from shoot length. The equation, shoot dry weight (g) = 14.254 (standard error = 0.275) shoot height (m), was as effective at explaining a high proportion of total variation in shoot dry weight (R = 0.90) as more complicated equations containing additional morphometric parameters. Tested against two independent datasets, the ...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of long-term reduced tillage on yield and weeds of spring barley. treatments consisted of three tillage systems including: (a) conventional tillage (ct), (b) reduced tillage (rt), and (c) herbicide tillage (ht) as the main plot, and two cultivars of spring barley (tocada and rastik) as subplots. the results showed that the yield of both cultivars...

purpose to date, little is known about the effects of a reduced level of jumping exercise regimens on bone turnover markers and mass. this study investigates the effects of different jumping exercise regimens with varying exercise loads on serum bone turnover markers and bone mass in female rats. methods a total of 144 female rats aged 12 weeks, were divided into 12 groups as follows: no exerci...

abstract in order to evaluate the effects of biofertilizers on yield and morphological characters in dragonhead, an experiment based on randomized complete block design with four replications was conducted in 2008. treatments were nitroxin, biological phosphorus, biosulfur, nitroxin+biological phosphorus, biological phosphorus+ biosulfur, nitroxin+ biosulfur, nitroxin+biological phosphorus+ bio...

We estimated translocatory balance in fruit of the tropical tree Durio zibethinus Murray on the basis of a compartment model. Rates of fruit respiration, dry weight growth and translocation increased with time. Over the 8.2 weeks of fruit development, the relative distribution of translocation was 80% to dry weight growth and 20% to respiration. The ratio of respiration rate to translocation ra...
