to study the effects of priming on seed germination traits of sainfoin 'eski', a factorial in randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at the laboratory of agricultural research center of sari in 2011. treatments consisted of polyethylene glycol (peg6000) at 5 and 10%, potassium nitrate (kno3) at 5 and 10% and potassium chloride (kcl) at 5 and 10% levels ...

the effects of priming treatment using five osmotic solutions (peg, manitol, kno3, kh2po4 and combination of two salts) in six osmotic potentials (-1 to -1.5 mpa) was studied on germination percentage, rate and uniformity of melon seeds. the best results were obtained with high concentrations of kno3 and lower concentrations of manitol. mean germination time of melon seeds in 19°c was preceeded...

The recovery and storage of process heat in industrial applications are some the key factors to improve sustainability reliability high temperature applications. In this sense, one main drawbacks is focused on selection proper thermal energy (TES) materials. This paper performs a full characterization four phase change materials (PCM), KOH, LiOH, NaNO3 KNO3, which proposed for between 270 500 °...

Abstract. The reactivity of NO3 plays an important role in modifying the fate reactive nitrogen species at nighttime. High (e.g. towards unsaturated volatile organic compounds – VOCs) can lead to formation nitrates and secondary aerosol, whereas low opens possibility heterogeneous NOx losses via uptake N2O5 particles. We present direct measurements (kNO3) that quantify VOC-induced during TO2021...
