in order to assess drought stress and planting date effects applied on original plant, on the electrical conductivity rate of the subsequent seeds, this research was performed in two parts at the research field and laboratory during spring 2008. the field experiment was performed as a completely randomized block design (crbd) with 20 treatments and three replications. treatments included the se...

Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) performance of iron and nitrogen co-doped porous carbon nanoparticles (Fe-NPC) with various physical and (electro) chemical properties have been investigated. Fe-NPC nanoparticles are synthesized via a facile soft-templating procedure by using Iron (III) chloride hexa-hydrate as iron precursor and aminophenol-formaldehyde resin as both carbon and nitrogen precurs...

The kinesin-microtubule system plays an important role in intracellular transport and is a model system for integrating biomotor-driven transport into microengineered devices. AC electrokinetics provides a novel tool for manipulating and organizing microtubules in solution, enabling new experimental geometries for investigating and controlling the interactions of microtubules and microtubule mo...

The most common method for in situ assessment of soil salinity, namely the electrical conductivity (EC) of the soil solution (ECw), is to measure the apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) and volumetric water content (θ) of the soil and apply measured or predicted ECa(ECw, θ) calibration curves. The water content and electrical conductivity of a soil solution are indeed the major factors affec...

Subsurface-tile drainage is designed to remove gravitational water and soluble salts from the soil-root zone. However, soil swelling, as influenced by soil Na and electrical conductivity (EC), will reduce saturated hydraulic conductivity. The objective of this research was to determine the influence of Na and EC on the amount of water retained at field capacity (33 kPa), in northern Great Plain...

In this research, new thin film of a free standing electrolyte film containing poly(vinyl) chloride (PVC), 50% liquid epoxidized natural rubber (LENR50), Ethylene carbonate (EC) blends as a host for the electrolyte which was doped with lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) as the dopant salt was successfully prepared with solution casting technique. The polymer electrolyte of PVC-LENR50-EC-LiClO4 was ch...

Inefficient management of nutrient inputs has put a large constraint on the environment and human’s health. Indiscriminate use of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers has led to ground water pollution. So the farmers has to pay close attention to nutrient management and incorporate the concept of balanced plant nutrition into their farming techniques. The balanced nutrition level to plant is pro...

in the present  paper electrical conductivity (ec) of colloidal gas aphron (cga) suspensions was measured for anionic and cationic surfactants (sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds) and tetradecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (ttab)). experiments were made for different concentrations of sds (6, 8.1, 10 mm) and ttab (2, 3.51, 5 mm). cga drainage behavior was observed and measured using 1 liter measuring c...

Ion transport in polyelectrolyte membranes (charged hydrogels) is of significant technological (and biological) importance, but little known how micro-structural inhomogeneity affects ionic conductivity. Whereas a uniform electric field drives uni-directional electro-migrative and electro-osmotic ion fluxes perfectly microstructures, this study considers the influence spherical inclusions/cavit...
