Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControlling Ammonia Volatilization by Mixing Urea with Humic Acid, Fulvic Acid, Triple Superphosphate and Muriate of PotashShamsuddin Rosliza, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: Inefficient use of inorganic fertilizer such as urea is caused by substantial losses of ammonia when urea is surface-applied. Ammonia losses can be controlled by adding acidic material such as TSP, HA or FA. In order to reduce ammonia loss and retain soil exchangeable ammonium and available nitrate as well as producing complete organic based fertilizer, this study … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 9,544 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordXPS Studies of the SiO2 Substrates and Thermoelectric Thin Films of Sn/Sn+SnO2 under the Effects of the Different Thermal TreatmentsRichard Lagle, Stephen Egarievwe, Satilmis Budak, Mebougna DraboMultilayered thermoelectric Sn/Sn+SnO2 thin films were prepared using KJL DC/RF magnetron sputtering system under Ar gas plasma on the SiO2 substrates. The thicknesses of the fabricated thin films were found using Filmetrics UV thickness measurement system. The fabricated thin films were annealed at different temperatures for one hour to tailor the thermoelectric properties. In this study, unannealed, annealed at 150 … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 9 Jan 2021 · 8,212 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY EVALUATION OF 15 EUCALYPTUS SPECIES ESSENTIAL OILS AGAINST CLINICALLY RELEVANT PATHOGENIC BACTERIADias C., V. Pereira, M.C.B.M. De Vasconcelos et al.This study aims to evaluate the potential of 15 Eucalyptus species essential oils as alternatives to clinical surface disinfectants with known association to antibiotic resistance. Four reference pathogenic bacteria were tested: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC10145), Escherichia coli (CECT434), Staphylococcus aureus (CECT976) and Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC15313). Gram-positive bacteria revealed higher sensitivity than Gram-negative. Essential oils from E. bosistoana, E. botryoides, E. camaldulensis, … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 22 Apr 2015 · 7,924 accessesView PDF Cite
