The growth behavior and P utilization efficiency of seven wheat cultivars grown in hydroponics were studied, using rock phosphate as P source. The wheat cultivars grown for 30 days were significantly different in biomass accumulation, P uptake and P utilization efficiency. The dry matter production of all the cultivars was significantly correlated with P uptake, which in turn correlated to the drop in the root medium pH. The ranking of wheat cultivars on the basis of dry matter yield, P uptake and P utilization efficiency was Zamindar 80 > Yecora > C 271 > WL 711 > Barani 83 > PARI 73 > Rohtas. The cultivar Zamindar 80 appeared to possess the best growth potential in P-deficient soils.展开更多

The FPs-based molecular and visible quantification tools are giving more impact on bioprocess engineering, enabling the biomolecule-level dynamic information to be linked with the process-level events. In this review, different applications of FPs in biological engineering with emphasis on rapid molecular bioprocess quantification, such as quantification of the transcription efficiency, the protein production, the protein folding efficiency, the cell concentration, the intracellular microenvironments and so on, would be first introduced. The challenges of using FPs with respect to actual bioprocess applications for the precise quantification including the interaction of FPs and the fused partner proteins, the maturation of FPs, the inner filter effect and sensing technology were then discussed. Finally, the future development for the FPs used in molecular bioprocess quantification would be proposed.展开更多

Lodd. ex Martius) both for oil extraction by continuous pressing and biodiesel production were investigated. The fruits and its pulp and kernel were characterized for their resulting oils. Experimental design was carried out to study the transesterification of each oil to obtain the concentrations of ethanol and catalyst that would provide the best biodiesel yield. A higher amount of biodiesel was produced from the best conditions to evaluate some characteristics as specified by ANP (National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels). The results showed a variation in the fruits composition and different characteristics presented by the pulp and kernel oil. It was possible to define technological steps to obtain oil from the fruits of macauba and find the optimal conditions to biodiesel production, concentration of catalyst 4.42% and 5% and 13.3:1 and 9:1 ethanol:oil molar ratio to kernel oil and pulp oil, respectively.展开更多

The products were tested for dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF) acid detergent insoluble nitrogen (NIAD), amino acid (AA) profile, CP degradability and intestinal digestibility (ID) of rumen undegraded protein (RUP). The average content of CP (g/kg DM) ranged from 289.9 (DDGSc) to 356.9 (DDGSw). The highest content of essential AA was in WDGc (440.1 g/160g N) followed with DDGSc. The most variable was the content of Lys in DDGSw (from 13.69 to 22.79 g/160 g N). The NIAD was found the highest for DDGSw (from 16.8% to 36.2%), effective CP degradability was only 50.2% and ID of RUP 82.2%, total essential AA 81.2%, Lys 77.69% and Met 81.4%. Lys was generally the least digestible AA. The ruminally degradable CP fraction was in the range from 52.6% to 70.2% for DDGSc. ID of total and essential by-pass AA was very high 96.2% and 96.1%, Lysine 90.9% and Methionine 96.7%. From these data it can be concluded that DDGS from grains are a good source of protein for ruminants.展开更多

This study proposed to assess forage productivities to allow an appropriate mowing period determination in their use as dairy female feed in Madagascar. A test on small plots has been set up in the southern part of the capital city Antananarivo during one dry period (4 months). Live observations followed by laboratory proximate analyses have been performed for forage productivity and feeding value determination. Cultivated on tanety (hill), irrigated in counter season, results show that: (I) oat higher height (H = 96.7 cm) than Italian ray grass (H= 69.4 cm) at 99 days of age; (2) similar biomass productivity; (3) dry matter yields significantly different (p = 0.05); (4) certain similarity between dry matter yields and FMU (fodder milk unit) score evolution; (5) leafy stage of Italian ray grasses at 99 days of age; (6) mid-flowering stage for oats during the same period. Cell wall content, crude fiber and dry matter contents increased with age (p = 0.05). Crude proteins and minerals evolved in opposite directions. Gross energy content did not present precise variation with age. This study allowed that for an acceptable quantitative and qualitative production during dry seasons, good mowing period for Italian ray grass could start at 76 days age, while oat could start being harvested at 68 days.展开更多

Because of this trial and error process, the drive for simulations of AM has grown significantly. A simulation only becomes useful to researchers if it can be shown that it is a true representation of the physical process being simulated. Each process being simulated has a different method of validation to show it is an accurate representation of the process. This paper explores the various methodologies for validation of laser-based metal AM simulations, focusing mainly on the modeling of the thermal processes and other characteristics derived from the thermal history. It will identify and explain the various validation techniques used, specifically looking at the frequency of reported use of each technique.展开更多

Accumulation of nitrates and harmful effects of the chloride ion are the reasons why there is a need to establish an optimal quantity and relation of nutrients in lettuce nourishment. In the experiment which was carried out during years 2010 and 2011 on the farm of Secondary Agricultural Boarding School in Futog, nitrate content in a fresh mass of lettuce (mg NO3/kg) was obesrved, in dependence on applied compound fertilizers produced by different technologies at different quantities of nitrate and potassium fertilizers. The results of the research show that in a technological ripeness, the highest average lettuce yield has been obtained in the treatment where the highest dosage of nitrate fertilizers was used in spring, in a combination with complex fertilizers in autumn. The lowest average yield has been obtained on the control plot. The highest average nitrate concentration in a fresh lettuce mass has been recorded in using technology of applying mixed fertilizers and the smallest in using a technology of complex fertilizers. At the moment of harvest, the highest nitrogen content in a dry mass of a plant has been recorded when complex fertilizers of phosphorus and potassium were used by the technology of mixed fertilizers.展开更多

Hopi Red Dye Amaranthus (Amaranthus cruentus) was used as the test crop. Its DM yield was determined. The browse materials had higher total N and narrower C:N ratio than the maize material. Calliandra material had higher levels of insoluble fiber (ADF), fiber bound N (ADFN) and lignin. Application of the browse and maize materials raised C, N, and C:N ratio of the soil in which they were applied compared to the control soil. The treated soils maintained higher levels of C and N and a narrower C:N ratio up to the third crop. Amaranthus DM yield was highest (P 〈 0.05) with browse treatments. Treatment with maize material did not have DM yield advantage over the control soil. Treatments with browse materials could have given higher yields because the materials had more N and fermentation could not only have increased the proportion of soluble N, but also degradability of the materials, thus making the N and other nutrients in the fermented materials available for plant growth. DM yield was highest (P 〈_ 0.05) with the first and third crops but lowest (P 〈 0.05) with the second crop. Plant growth in the second crop could have coincided with high demand for the N by the soil micro-organisms decomposing the added materials. During the third crop, decomposition of the readily degradable components of the added materials could have been complete and the N became available for plant growth. DM yield dropped (P 〈 0.05) with the fourth crop as the available N could have been depleted from the soil for plant growth.展开更多

This study was aimed to verify the weeding-effect on dry matter (DM) production in the farm level and to examine the effect of several weed control, i.e. mixed sowing of annual setaria (abbreviated as S), which has no regrowth ability after stem-elongation, paper-mulching (as P) and hand-weeding (as +W), compared with no-weeding (as -W) on DM yield and quality of DL napiergrass in two years. Weed control practices significantly (P 〈 0.05) promoted several plant growth attributes in DL napiergrass, compared with no-weeding both in the farm and experimental levels. Paper-mulchidng (P-W or P+S-W) had highest yields among several practices in both years. Setaria-sowing ha a partially mitigating effect of weed damage on DM production of DL napiergrass, while additive DM gain from setaria could compensate the yield decrease in DL napiergrass and reduce herbicide cost. Neither digestibility nor crude protein was affected by any weed control in either year. Thus, paper-mulching and annual setaria-sowing could be effective alternative practices for weed control of this species.展开更多

文摘Fermented Callliandra, Gliricidia and Leucaena browses and maize material (milk stage) were applied to the soil to determine their effect on soil productivity. Hopi Red Dye Amaranthus (Amaranthus cruentus) was used as the test crop. Its DM yield was determined. The browse materials had higher total N and narrower C:N ratio than the maize material. Calliandra material had higher levels of insoluble fiber (ADF), fiber bound N (ADFN) and lignin. Application of the browse and maize materials raised C, N, and C:N ratio of the soil in which they were applied compared to the control soil.
