KNO3 was used as the phase change material (PCM), but its thermal conductivity is too low to transfer heat between the PCM and conduction oil efficiently. In this thesis, on the basis of the previous studies (Yong Li, 2015), the solar power generation efficiency is enhanced with high temperature interval (280°C—400°C), and the new composite which are composed by the SiC honeycomb (SCH) frame an...

The use of nitrogen in nutrient media is essential for growth and helps identify highly productive media for potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) micropropagation and adventitious shoot formation. Three potato cultivars (Agria, Marfona and Savalan cultivars) were examined for their growth response with medium containing four different levels of KNO3 (1, 1.25, 1.5 and 1.75 times as much 1.9 g l-1) and ...

The present study examined the effects of different nitrogen (NH4NO3) and potassium (KNO3) fertilization levels in combination with a nitrogen-fixing, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) inoculation on carbohydrate (CHO), amino acid content, nutrient concentrations (N, P, K) spears root system asparagus plants. No significant differences were indicated between treatments regarding N, K ...

Hydration of a commercial hydrophilic polyacrylamide gel in 20 meq Ca(NO 3)2/ liter was reduced to <10% of the maximum hydration in deionized water. Repeated soaking with deionized water to remove soluble salts restored hydration to ≈ 30% of maximum. Incorporating KNO3 at concentrations ranging from 5 to 40 meq·liter -1 with the Ca(NO3)2 in the hydration solution partially reversed the Ca 2+ in...

Effects of simulated nitrogen (N) deposition on soil net nitrogen mineralization (NNM) were examined in situ during two growing seasons, using the resin-core technique in the semiarid meadow steppe in Inner Mongolia, China. The aim of this study is to clarify the effect of N levels (0, 10, and 20 kg N ha-1yr-1) and forms (NH4+ and NO3-) on soil mineral N and NNM. Our results showed that N level...

Plants are a potential source of a large number of valuable secondary metabolites. In vitro cultures are being considered as an alternative to agricultural processes for studying valuable secondary metabolites. In this way, nutritive factors are important parameters influencing the production of these compounds in plants. Effects of nitrate concentrations (KNO3) on the production of two tropane...

The temperature programmed desorption of nitric oxide, NO, and nitrogen dioxide, NO2, during the 302 nm photolysis of KNO3-doped, spray-frozen ice layers was investigated using two-photon laser-induced NOx fluorescence detection in the range – 35 ≤ T/oC ≤ 0. Upon applying steady illumination, and a 0.67 °C min heating ramp to frozen KNO3 solutions, NO2 begins to evolve at increasing rates, whil...

The effects of different priming treatments and priming durations on germination percentage at different temperatures in parsley seeds were studied. The seeds were treated for 2, 4, 6 and 8 days with the PEG 6000 (–0.5 MPa, –1.0 MPa and –1.5 MPa), KNO3 (0.30 mol/L and 0.35 mol/L), Mannitol (0.50 mol/L and 0.60 mol/L) and hydropriming (12h, 24h, 36h and 48h) and unprimed (control). Germination s...
