caco3 nanoparticles have been synthesized via heat-treatment of a new precursor and solid state reaction. effect of calcinations temperature and quantity of surfactant on particle size has been investigated. the products were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electron microscopy (tem) and fourier transform infrared (ft–ir) spectroscopy.

field experiment was conducted in 2008 at the research field of agricultural college of shiraz university, shiraz, iran to investigate the effects of urban waste compost (uwc), manure and chemical fertilizer on the initial growth of corn (zea mays). experimental design was split plot factorial with three replications. main plots were assigned to nitrogen (n) fertilizer (0 and 200 kg n ha-1), an...

forward osmosis (fo) has recently drawn attention as a promising membrane based method for seawater and brackish water desalination. in this study, we focus on the use of calciun chloride (cacl2) and potassium bicarbonate (khco3) as inorganic salt draw solution candidates due to their appropriate performance in water flux and reverse salt diffusion as well as reasonable cost. the experiments we...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of accell connexus(®) on the quality and rate of healing in experimental defects of rabbit calvarium compared to bio-oss®.twelve 2.5-3.5 kg weighing new zealand white rabbits were used. three defects (3×6 mm) were created in the cranium of the animals subsequently filled with accell connexus(®), bio-oss® or served as controls. the animals w...

A field experiment was conducted to assess the effect of farmyard (cattle) manure (FYM) and inorganic nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) fertilizers on growth and tuber yield of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). The treatments consisted of factorial combination of 4 levels of FYM (0. 10, 20 and 30 t h-1) and three levels of inorganic NP fertilizers (0, 33.3%, 66.6% recommended rates) laid out in a Random...

Nowadays new research area focused on hybrid inorganic/organic fibres materials based on bacterial cellulose and inorganic nanoparticles paid attention of many researches. It is well known that homogeneously dispersed nanoscale inorganic particles in a polymer matrix improve the mechanical properties of the resulting nanocomposites. Hybrid materials containing metal or semiconductor nanoparticl...
