The effect of CsCl on the temperature dependence of the density of the nematic and lamellar phases of cesium perfluoro-octanoate (42.57 wt%)/water is reported. When the concentration of salt is increased from 0 to 3.5 wt%, the peak in the expansion coefficient, α, across the nematic-...
Salt stress is considered as one of the most common abiotic stresses reducing the productivity and fruit quality of crop plants. The present study was carried out to assess the salt tolerance among 15 local squash (Cucurbita maxima Duchesne) landraces. D
The use of feeds with different nutritional densities presented in this study has no effect on the WPR in the breast and legs of broilers slaughtered between 28 and 56 D of age. However, nutritional density influences liveweight and percentage of fat in the breast and legs. Collagen percentage...
Biological improvement is a sustainable approach for saline–alkali land amelioration and utilization. Echinochloa frumentacea (Roxb.) link is a salt-tolerant gramineous forage, which plays an important role in improving saline–alkali land. The Hetao Ni
Salt stress causes an initial water-deficit, due to the relatively high solute concentrations in the soil, and also ion-specific stresses resulting from changes in K+/Na+ ratios. Thus, it leads to increased Na+ and Cl− concentrations that are detrimental to plants [1], [2]. Salt-...
One of the most important and unusual characteristics of water is how temperature effects its density. Unlike most substances, which continually become more dense as they get colder, water achieves its maximum density at 4 degrees Celsius (39.2 degrees F
An unusual variation with temperature of the salt effects in aqueous Wittig reaction is observed, suggesting that hydropho-bic acceleration of reactions comprising "on water" reactants is fundamentally different from that for reactions with small non-polar solutes.rnWater is known as "Nature's solv...
depict the amount and form of water, energy, and matter entering the oceanic and atmospheric systems, as well as the effects of a wide range of disturbances and stressors with compounding effects such as sea-level rise, storm surge, and eutrophication on coastal ecosystems and infrastructure15,...
The <italic>Brassica napus</italic> (<italic>Bn</italic>) plantlets <italic>in vitro</italic> were used as the experimental materials in this study. The sodium nitrate was employed to provide the sole nitrogen source and salt stress. The growth parameter
Soil salinization has adverse effects on the soil physical-chemical characteristics. However, little is known about the changes in soil salt ion concentrations and other soil physical-chemical characteristics within the Qarhan Salt Lake an
