A fully-integrated CMOS relaxation oscillator, realized in 40 nm technology, is presented. The oscillator includes a stable two-transistor based voltage reference without an operational amplifier, simple current employing the temperature-compensated composite resistor, and approximated complementary to absolute temperature (CTAT) delay-based comparators compensate for proportional (PTAT) delay ...

The field study was carried out at the Department of Agronomy, Eastern Block Farm in Tamil Nadu Agriculture University Coimbatore, to effect Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) on yield attributes and hybrid maize. Total fourteen treatment were followed which twelve treatments ZnONPs 50,100,200 300 ppm administered two stages viz., knee height stage (30-35 DAS) tasseling (46-56 one foliar spray 0...

Two 28-d experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of low dietary concentrations of Cu as Cu-proteinate compared with 250 ppm Cu as CuSO4 with growth performance, plasma Cu concentrations, and Cu balance of weanling swine as the criteria. In the production study (Exp. 1), 240 crossbred pigs that averaged 19.8 d of age and 6.31 kg BW initially were group-fed (two or three pigs per pen)...

The aim of this study was to assess the heavy metal content of the dust generated by the Sagamu cement factory and its attendant health hazards on the immediate environment, especially on the inhabitants of the area. A total of 25 samples were collected and analyzed using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry. Records of medical ailments associated with heavy metal toxicity w...

Male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to vinylidene chloride (VDC) orally or by inhalation in 2-year toxicological studies. Interim results are included in this report. VDC was given in the drinking water at mean +/- S.D. concentrations of 0, 68 +/- 13, 106 +/- 22, and 220 +/- 35 ppm which produced mean +/- S.D. dosage levels of 0, 5.9 +/- 0.6, 10.0 +/- 1.2, and 19.3 +/- 2.7 mg/kg fo...

Fertilization of soybean with zinc (Zn) had received considerable attention in recent years due to world-wide spread its deficiency soils and also malnutrition infants children’s. Soybean is high nutrient exhausting crop but sensitive soil. Application Zn fertilizers could be a viable option fulfil this promote yield growth parameters. This experiment was conducted at Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vi...

Denitrification was studied in a batch culture, using different concentrations acetate (95 and 140 ppm), benzene (25 and 35 ppm) and toluene (25 and 40 ppm). In the assays with acetate the substrate consumption efficiency (Efs) of N-NO3 and C-acetate was superior to 92%. The yield (YP/S) in the N2formation was 0.99. Contrary to this, when benzene was used the denitrification was not carried out...

Ten cadmium resistant marine bacterial isolates were isolated from seawater and sediments samples of Hurghada harbour on a seawater nutrient agar medium amended by 25 ppm of cadmium and tested for their resistance to higher cadmium concentrations (up to 200 ppm). The most resistant isolate which was able to grow at 150 ppm was identified on the basis of its morphological, physiological and bioc...

The study was carried out at Vegetable Research Station, TNAU, Palur, Tamil Nadu during 2021to2022. experiment laid in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with eight treatments and three replications. Planting materials used for the were bulbs bulblets. nutrient combinations tried foliar application of micronutrient like zinc sulphate (0.2%), Ferrous (0.5%), Copper (0.4%) Boric acid (0.2%)...
