Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysiological and Biochemical Evaluation of Fe-Efficiency in Fe-Deficient Maize GenotypesEntesar M. Essa, Sahar M. Zaghloul, Z.A. Salama et al.Iron (Fe) deficiency is prevalent particularly in calcareous soils of arid and semiarid regions. The present study aimed to investigate the response of eight local maize genotypes to Fe deficiency. In addition, a Fe- efficient (WF9) and a Fe-inefficient (ys1) indicator genotypes were used in this study. All genotypes were grown in growth chamber for 21 days in two levels … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 22 Apr 2015 · 7,280 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFUNGAL LEACHING OF IRON ORE: ISOLATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND BIOLEACHING STUDIES OF PENICILLIUM VERRUCULOSUMNeha Chaudhary, Trina Banerjee, Neha Ibrahim, G. SibiPyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical technologies for recovery of metals from low grade ores require high energy and capital costs. Use of microorganisms in leaching of mineral ores is gaining importance due to the implementation of stricter environmental rules. Microbes convert metal compounds into their water soluble forms and are biocatalysts of leaching processes. This study was performed to isolate and characterize … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 25 Sep 2014 · 7,999 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSEDIMENT CORE SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS OF KAW LAKEDejene Alemayehu, Jason McAlister, William FoxThe Kaw Nation and Black land Research Center in July 2012 conducted a sediment core sampling from Kaw Lake. Kaw Lake is a reservoir constructed in 1976 by the Army Corps of Engineers for the purpose of water supply and recreation. It is located 11 miles east of Ponca City, Kay County, Oklahoma. This reservoir covers approximately 17,040 acres (69 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 15 Sep 2014 · 7,391 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPROVING PHOSPHORUS NUTRITION OF COTTONWalter B. Gordon, Larry Murphy, Pawel WiatrakCrop recovery of applied Phosphorus (P) fertilizer can be low, especially during season of low soil temperature, which decreases plant root growth and nutrient uptake. The H2PO4- or HPO4-2 anions readily react with soil cations such as Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe) and Aluminum (Al) to produce various phosphate compounds of very limited water solubility. Specialty Fertilizer Products (SFP), … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 10 May 2014 · 7,110 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMULTI-TRAITS OF NON-PATHOGENIC FLUORESCENT PSEUDOMONAS AND EVALUATION OF THEIR POTENTIEL AS BIOCONTROL AGENTSMehri Inès, Turki Yousra, Ben Rajeb Asma et al.In recent years, certain strains of fluorescent pseudomonads called PGPB have drawn attention due to their abilities to promote plant growth. Therefore, in this investigation, we have explored the adhesive properties, the phytostimulator effects and the biocontrol activities of 40 isolates, with the aim to select potential inoculants to improve crop yields. Ten different colony morphotypes were detected on CRA … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 16 Apr 2014 · 7,236 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRAPID DEGRADATION OF AZO DYES USING NANO-SCALE ZERO VALENT IRONNabila Rahman, Zainal Abedin, M. Ali HossainIn the present study, nano-scale Zero Valent Iron (NZVI) was synthesized in ethanol medium by the method of ferric iron reduction using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent under atmospheric conditions. The obtained iron nanoparticles are mainly in zero valent oxidation state and remain without significant oxidation for hours. A systematic characterization of NZVI was performed using XRD, SEM and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 8 Apr 2014 · 8,599 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSPATIAL AND MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS OF TRACE ELEMENTS IN THE SURFACE WATER AND DEEP SEDIMENTS OF FRESH WATER AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMKantha Deivi Arunachalam, Sathesh Kumar Annamalai, Kamesh Viswanathan Baskaran et al.The aim of this study was to assess the levels of various trace metals present in water and sediment of fresh water aquatic ecosystem during the post monsoon season. The study was extended to identify the trace metal contamination in the water and sediment samples collected along the shores of Lambapur and Peddagattu the tribal villages in India using an … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 26 Mar 2014 · 7,597 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPROVING PHOSPHORUS NUTRITION OF CORNWalter B. Gordon, Larry Murphy, Pawel WiatrakPhosphorus (P) generally occurs in soils as the anions H2PO4- or HPO4-2 depending on soil pH. These anions readily react with soil cations such as calcium, magnesium, iron and aluminum to produce various phosphate compounds of very limited water solubility. Crop recovery of applied phosphate fertilizer can be quite low during the season of application. In addition, the large amounts … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 18 Mar 2014 · 7,446 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Chromium(VI) on Serum Iron and Removal of its Toxicity by Combining Deferasirox and Deferiprone Chelators in RatsS. Jamil A. Fatemi, Marzieh Iranmanesh, Faezeh Dahooee BaloochThe present research is aimed to characterize the potential efficiency of two chelators after chromium(VI) administration for 60 days following two doses of 15 and 30 mg kg-1 chromium(VI) per body weight daily to male rats. However, the hypothesis that the two chelators might be more efficient as combined therapy than as single therapy in removing chromium(VI) from bood serum … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Oct 2013 · 7,152 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtection of Terminalia belerica Roxb. Against Iron Overload Induced Liver Toxicity: An Account of Its Reducing and Iron Chelating CapacityBibhabasu Hazra, Rhitajit Sarkar, Nripendranath MandalExcess iron deposition in the liver catalyses the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) which in turn initiate oxidative damage of protein and nucleic acids leading to several human diseases. The fruits of Terminalia Belerica Roxb. (TB) has been most commonly used not only in stimulating gastrointestinal health, but also in treatment of various hepatic disorders. The present study was … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 20 Nov 2012 · 7,989 accessesView PDFCite
