Substitution of chemical fertilizers has become a common practice in agricultural systems which consequently affect the greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural fields. To observe the effects of organic manures and crop residues amendments, five fertilizer treatments including conventional inorganic nitrogen fertilizer—NPK, cow manure, rice straw, poultry manure and sugarcane bagasse were applied in the field for two consecutive pre-monsoon rice seasons. Addition of rice straw, poultry manure and sugarcane bagasse decreased the cumulative N2O emissions by 14% and 31%, and by 1% and 7% and 5% and 3% in 2012 and 2013 respectively when compared with conventional fertilizer treatment (NPK) in both the seasons. Yield differences were not significant (p > 0.005) amongst the treatments, however, a slight increase was observed due to rice straw amendment over control. Soil organic carbon decreased by 11% - 17% under the application of organic residues which might have contributed to lower N2O emissions from the plots. Results of carbon equivalent emission (CEE) and carbon efficiency ratio (CER) indicated that incorporation of rice straw during pre-monsoon rice season had the potential to reduce the N2O emissions and yield scaled emissions of rice production at lower level than the conventional farmers’ practice of using chemical fertilizers (NPK).展开更多

Results show that 1.0-nm GeO2 is achieved after 120-s N20 plasma oxidation at 300 ℃. The GeO2/Ge interface is atomically smooth. The interface state density of Ge surface after N20 plasma passivation is about - 3 × 1011 cm-2.eV-1. With GeO2 passivation, the hysteresis of metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitor with A1203 serving as gate dielectric is reduced to - 50 mV, compared with - 130 mV of the untreated one. The Fermi-level at GeO2/Ge interface is unpinned, and the surface potential is effectively modulated by the gate voltage.展开更多

Herein, monoclinic CeP04 nanoparticles were prepared by calcining hexagonal CePO4 nanomds (prepared by precipitation) in air at 900 ℃. Monoclinic CePO4 nanowires were prepared by calcining hexagonal CePO4 nanowires (prepared by hydrothermal synthesis at 150 ℃) in air at 900 ℃. Both monoclinic CePO4 materials were used to support Rh2O3 by impregnation using Rh(NO3)3 as a precursor (followed by calcination). The catalytic performance of Rh2O3/monoclinic CePO4 composite materials in N2O decomposition and CO oxidation was investigated. It was found that Rh2O3 supported on monoclinic CePO4 nanowims was much more active than Rh2O3 supported on monoclinic CePO4 nanoparticles. The stability of catalysts as a function of reaction time on stream was studied in both reactions. The influence of co-fed CO2, O2, and H2O on the catalytic activity in N20 decomposition was also studied. These catalysts were characterized by employing N2 adsorption-desorption, ICP-OES, XRD, TEM, XPS, H2-TPR, O2-TPD, and CO2-TPD. The correlation between physicochemical properties and catalytic properties was discussed.展开更多

The simulation of daily N2O fluxes, along with key daily environmental variables, was validated with three-year observations conducted in East China. The validation demonstrated that the model simulated well daily solar radiation, soil temperature and moisture, and also captured the dynamics and magnitude of accumulated rice aboveground biomass and mineral nitrogen in the soil. The simulated daily N2O emissions over all three years investigated were generally in good agreement with field observations. Particularly well simulated were the peak N2O emissions induced by fertilizations, rainfall events or mid-season drainages. The model simulation also represented closely the inter-annuM variation in N2O emission. These validations imply that the model has the capability to capture the general characteristics of N2O emission from a typical rice-wheat rotation agro-ecosystem. Sensitivity analyses revealed that the simulated N2O emission is most sensitive to the fertilizer application rate and the soil organic matter content, but it is much less sensitive to variations in soil pH and texture, temperature, precipitation and crop residue incorporation rate under local conditions.展开更多

To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of AGEs on neural tube development, C57BL/6 female mice were fed for 4 weeks with com- mercial food containing 3% advanced glycation end product bovine serum albumin (AGE-BSA) or 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a control. After mating mice, oxidative stress markers including malondialdehyde and H202 were measured at embryonic day 7.5 (E7.5) of ges- tation, and the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in embryonic cells was determined at E8.5. In addition to evaluating NTDs, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the effect of embryonic protein administration on the N-(carboxymethyl) lysine reactivity of acid and carboxyethyl lysine antibodies at E10.5. The results showed a remarkable increase in the incidence of NTDs at El0.5 in embryos of mice fed with AGE-BSA (no hyperglycemia) compared with control mice. Moreover, embryonic protein administration resulted in a noticeable increase in the reactivity of N-(carboxymethyl) lysine and N(ε)-(carboxyethyl) lysine antibodies. Malondialdehyde and H2O2 levels in embryonic cells were increased at E7.5, followed by increased intracellular ROS levels at E8.5. Vitamin E supplementation could partially recover these phenomena. Collectively, these results suggest that AGE-BSA could induce NTDs in the absence of hyperglycemia by an underlying mechanism that is at least partially associated with its capacity to increase embryonic oxidative stress levels.展开更多

The thickness of the compound layer and the diffusion layer are about 10μm and about 200μm,respectively. Plasma post oxidation was performed on the nitrocarburized samples with various oxygen/hydrogen ratio at constant temperature of 500℃for 1 h.The very thin magnetite (Fe-3O-4) layer of 1-2μm in thickness on top of the compound layer was obtained.Anodic polarization test revealed that plasma nitrocarburizing process contributed a significant improvement of corrosion resistance of SKD 61 steel.However,the corrosion characteristics of the nitrocarburized compound layer was deteriorated by oxidation treatment.展开更多

Thermal analyzes (TGA and DTA) were used to follow up the thermal events accompanying the heat treatment of the parent mixture. Based on these results, the various parent mixtures were calcined at 500℃. The obtained solid catalysts were characterized by using XRD, FT-IR and N2-adsorption. The catalytic decomposition of N2O to N2 and O2 was carried out on the zinc-cobaltite catalysts. It was found that partial replacement of Co2+ by Zn2+ in Co3O4 spinel oxide led to a significant improvement in their N2O decomposition activity. Moreover, the catalytic activity was found to be depended on the calcination temperature utilized.展开更多

文摘N2O is a significant atmospheric greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming and climate change.In this work,the high sensitivity detection of atmospheric N2O is achieved using wavelength modulation spectroscopy(WMS)with an inter-band cascade laser operating around 3.939μm.A Lab VIEW-based software signal generator and software lock-in amplifiers are designed to simplify the system.In order to eliminate the interference from water vapor,the detection was performed at a pressure of 0.1 atm(1 atm=1.01325×10^5 Pa)and a drying tube was added to the system.To improve the system performance for long term detection,a novel frequency locking method and 2 f/1 f calibration-free method were employed to lock the laser frequency and calibrate the power fluctuations,respectively.The Allan deviation analysis of the results indicates a detection limit of^20 ppb(1 ppb=1.81205μg/m3)for a 1 s integration time,and the optimal detection limit is^5 ppb for a 40-s integration time.
