Adsorption of metal cations onto a cellular membrane changes its properties, such as interactions with charged moieties or the propensity for membrane fusion. It is, however, unclear whether cells can regulate ion adsorption and the related functions via locally adjusting their membrane composition. We employed fluorescence techniques and computer simulations to determine how the presence of ch...

Abstract In the present study, seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) time series models, nonlinear BL model, multi-layer perceptron artificial neural network and SARIMA-bilinear hybrid models were employed to predict quality parameters of total dissolved solids (TDS), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), electrical conductivity (EC) in Maroon basin Khuzestan Province. For fitting...

Abstract Hydrochemical characteristics of irrigation water and their spatiotemporal variations can provide critical information for ensuring healthy crop growth determining the best management practices. The Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV) is heavily dependent upon ditch to deliver from River support its staple production. To date, no studies have been conducted quantify quality along distributi...

The importance of irrigation practice in food production cannot be over-emphasised, however practices impact soils and other environmental parameters negatively. This necessitates the need for continuous monitoring impacts on general environment. A study was carried out Josepdam Irrigation Scheme (JIS) located Bacita, Ilorin, Nigeria. limited to assessment soil physical chemical properties. Soi...

This study was conducted to evaluate factors regulating groundwater quality in an area with agriculture as main use. Under this study twelve groundwater samples have been collected from Padra taluka, Dabhoi taluka and Savli taluka of Vadodara district. Groundwater samples were chemically analyzed for major physicochemical parameter in order to understand the different geochemical processes affe...

background: affecting the female reproductive organ and the layers around the oocyst, some ration ions could facilitate the penetration of sperm with specific chromosome type and change the sex ratio in mammal infants. objectives: the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of potassium supplement on the sex ratio in rat. methods: the percentage of moisture, ash, crude fat and p...

This study aimed to assess the water quality parameters in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) of Ain Sefra, southwestern Algeria. Various methods were employed analyze performance and suitability WWTP for irrigation. The results revealed effective removal nitrates, with levels below limit set irrigation water. dissolved oxygen content showed efficient biological processes good degradation organi...

Abstract Evaluation of irrigation water quality status was conducted in Bachok district, Kemubu Agriculture Development Authority (KADA) from July 2021 to March 2022. Water changes the canal were examined by measuring several physical and chemical at eight sampling points. The locations are primary canals used supply into paddy fields. parameter measured temperature, pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), ...

I. A study was made of the changes in electrolyte concentrations and ruminal function which resulted from the provision of 1.3 7; sodium chloride solutions instead of fresh water to sheep consuming roughage rations in chaffed and in ground pelleted forms. 2. Significantly higher osmotic pressures were observed in the rumen fluid of the sheep drinking saline water, the change being especially ma...

The main purpose of the current research is comparing the results of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) with regard to determination of the importance of soil properties affecting clay dispersibility. After taking samples from two depths of 0-40 and 40-80 cm, the spontaneous and mechanical dispersions of clay were recorded using both weighing and ...
