Enhanced efficiency nitrogen (N) fertilizers (EEFs) may improve crop recovery of fertilizer-N, but there is evidence that some EEFs cause a lag in crop growth compared to growth with standard urea. Biomass and mineral nutrient accumulation was investigated in rice fertilized with urea, urea-3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) and polymer-coated urea (PCU) to determine whether any delays in bi...

BACKGROUND The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacterial microorganisms is a particular challenge for the health care systems. Little is known about the occurrence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDRGNB) in patients of palliative care units (PCU). AIM The primary aim of this study was to determine the carriage of MRSA amon...

Congestion that occurs at the intersection of Toddopuli Raya and Pengayoman roads is generally caused by drivers who are not obedient, namely violating traffic lights illegal parking during peak hours. This study was designed to determine volume on performance their intersections. The research conducted over 3 days: Wednesday, Friday Saturday. used PKJI 2014 method. in 3707.9 pcu/hour hours 272...

Abstract Polymer-coated urea (PCU) has been traditionally used for broadcast and/or incorporated application of nitrogen (N) fertilizers. To improve N use efficiency (NUE), there an increase in sub-surface banded this fertilizer technology. However, is little information on the release and supply from PCU granules when applied a band. This research aimed to investigate spatial distribution key ...

The electronic properties of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) have recently been subjected to study. Although theoretical calculations have predicted that POSS can work as an acceptor for π-conjugated organic units, an effective reaction to incorporate aryl groups into a POSS backbone remains to be established. In this work, Rh-catalyzed direct arylation has been developed. Heptaiso...

Recently proposed partial conservation of the UO) current (PCU,C) is applied to estimate the decay rates of various OZI forbidden processes. The results obtained are in good agreement with experiments and thus indicate the important role played by the UO) axial-vector anomaly in these decay processes. Octet jP = } + baryons are next introduced into this scheme and low energy theorems related to...

We evaluated the eff ects of irrigated crop management practices on nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from soil. Emissions were monitored from several irrigated cropping systems receiving N fertilizer rates ranging from 0 to 246 kg N ha−1 during the 2005 and 2006 growing seasons. Cropping systems included conventional-till (CT) continuous corn (Zea mays L.), no-till (NT) continuous corn, NT corn–dr...

Medical devices made of polycarbonaturethane (PCU) combine excellent mechanical properties and little biological degradation, but restricted hemocompatibility. Modifications of PCU might reduce platelet adhesion and promote stable endothelialization. PCU was modified using gas plasma treatment, binding of hydrogels, and coupling of cell-active molecules (modified heparin, anti-thrombin III (ATI...

BACKGROUND Several studies have demonstrated that oral care with chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) 0.12% solution reduces the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in mechanically ventilated patients with endotracheal tubes in the ICU. Minimal evidence shows the effectiveness of any oral care protocols in preventing VAP in mechanically ventilated patients with tracheostomies in a step-...
