abstract date palm, phoenix dactylifera, is one of the most important horticultural crops in iran. the most soils in iran, especially those cultivated with palm, are calcareous with high ph. the high ph of soil causes reduction of nutrient elements absorption. findings of researches show that application of elemental sulfur along with tiobacillus bacteria in soil, due to sulfur oxidation, reduc...

The influence of sodium chloride on dissolution of chalcopyrite and surface sulfur speciation during bioleaching of chalcopyrite with the extreme thermophile Acidianus manzaensis YN-25 was studied. The addition of sodium chloride accelerated the dissolution of chalcopyrite by reducing the accumulation of elemental sulfur layers on the mineral surface, resulting in an increase in the concentrati...

In this paper, we propose a simple correction method of distorted elemental images for computational integral imaging reconstruction (CIIR) method by using surface markers on lenslet array. The position information of surface markers is extracted from distorted elemental images with geometric misalignments such as skew, rotation and so on. Then the elemental images can be corrected simply when ...

1. Researches dealing with insect eggs are limited to hatchability, hatching conditions, elemental analysis and egg viability. Little is known about the influence of different elements on the insect eggs. 2. In the present study, the elemental analysis for two honey bee races was studied using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. 3. Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, magnesium, phosphorus, sulfur, calc...

The elemental composition of phytoplankton is a fusion of the evolutionary history of the host and plastid, resulting in differences in genetic constraints and selection pressures associated with environmental conditions. The evolutionary inheritance hypothesis predicts similarities in elemental composition within related taxonomic lineages of phytoplankton. To test this hypothesis, we measured...

We propose a new method for rectifying a geometrical distortion in the elemental image set and extracting an accurate lens lattice lines by projective image transformation. The information of distortion in the acquired elemental image set is found by Hough transform algorithm. With this initial information of distortions, the acquired elemental image set is rectified automatically without the p...
