Local isolates were obtained from cowpea rhizosphere in fields of different Iraqi provinces. Six isolates were selected in this study, which was conducted as a pot experiment under greenhouse conditions. Effects of the following fertility levels were evaluated： at F1, 0 mg N, P and K was added; at F2, 25 mg N/kg soil, 10 mg P/kg soil and 25 mg K/kg soil were added, respectively; the other two levels were F3 at which 50, 20 and 50 mg/kg soil and at F4 75, 30 and 75 mg/kg soil for N, P and K, respectively, were added. Urea, labeled with 15N 10% access atom （aa）, was used as a source of N. The highest BNF was observed under the lowest fertility level, i.e., F1. BNF across all isolates was markedly decreased with the increase of nutrient application to soil, being totally eliminated at the highest fertility level F4. Numbers of nodules per plant root of all isolates were the least under the zero nutrients application and the highest nodules number were found under the highest levels of N, P and K application. Number of nodules does not necessarily reflect the best BNF efficiency of all isolates. However, fertility levels were of significant effect on average nodule number of all isolates. The lowest plant dry weight was under the first fertility level F1 irrelevant of Rhizobium isolates. In general, the highest plant dry weight was under the second soil fertility level F2.展开更多

However, in many cases interpreting the seismic images can be misleading. In this article, we present three case studies where results from P-wave seismic reflection, SH-wave seismic reflection, and multi-channel analysis of surface wave （MASW） surveys were incorrectly interpreted because of inadequate constraints on either the surveyed sites surface or subsurface conditions. A P-wave reflection survey feature was first interpreted as a shallow fault zone but it was later determined to result from a high level of background noise as the acquisition passed through a road intersection. A SH-wave seismic reflection survey feature was interpreted to be a reverse dip-slip fault but targeted drilling showed it was deep local erosion into the bedrock surface. Finally, in an MASW survey, a steeply dipping feature was first interpreted as a bedrock valley. However, later exploratory drilling showed the feature to be a shallow layer of very soft lake sediment that severely damped most of the applied surface wave frequency band. Although initial interpretations were incorrect, they stimulated discussions among geophysicists and geologists and underscored the need for meaningful cooperation and discourse between the scientists before, during, and after geophysical data acquisition.展开更多

The results show that the taller the mining height at the upper protective layer face, the greater the protection on protected coal seam due to the higher level of pressure release; the upper protective layer face with hard rock floor impedes the pressure release at the protected coal seam, which affects the overall effect of the pressure release at protected coal seam using the protective layer mining method.展开更多
