Carbon: the building block of life. You may have heard this phrase, but have you fully considered what it really means? All living things are made of elements, the most abundant of which are, oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorous. Of these, carbon is the best at joining with other elements to form compounds necessary for life, such as sugars, starches, fats, and proteins....

Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: The use of calcium containing vs. calcium free phosphate binder is one of the hot topic in Nephrology due to the survival benefit and cost burden associated with the use of the latter. Numerous observations have repeatedly shown that serum phosphorous is associated with poor survival (1). In a large cohort of 1,716 chronic kidne...

Conventional resources of phosphorous are at high risk of depletion in the near future due to current practices of its exploitation, thus new and improved exploration methodologies need to be developed to ensure phosphorous security. Today, some treatment plants recover phosphorous from municipal wastewater as struvite (MgNH₄PO₄·6H₂O). Magnesium is often added to the wastewater as MgCl₂·6H₂O to...

to evaluate the effects of phosphate solubilizing bacteria and chemical phosphorous fertilizer on turnip (brassica rapa) forage yield under limited irrigation regimes, a field experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture and natural resources, university of tehran, in karaj/iran during 2009 growing season. the experimental treatments were arranged as split plots. five lev...

Abstract In this study, changes in water quality characteristics were compared before and after the construction of eight multifunctional weirs Nakdong River Basin South Korea. A cluster analysis spatial variation showed that locations classified as Cluster 1 pre-construction (sites ND7 ND8) shifted into 2 post-construction, indicating types changed weirs. Principal component factor analyses re...

The Total Irradiance Monitor (TIM) instrument is designed to measure total solar irradiance with an absolute accuracy of 100 parts per million. Four electrical substitution radiometers behind precision apertures measure input radiant power while providing redundancy. Duty cycling the use of the radiometers tracks degradation of the nickel-phosphorous absorptive black radiometer interiors caused...

Higher serum phosphorous is associated with cerebral small vessel disease, an important driver of cognitive decline and dementia. Whether serum phosphorous, a potentially modifiable parameter, associates with risk of incident dementia is not known. We aimed to examine the association between serum phosphorous and risk of incident dementia and to determine if the association is modified by age. ...
