The kinetics of the leaching of titanium and iron from Sri Lankan ilmenite in a sulphuric acid medium heated by microwave energy is studied. The effects of the concentration of sulphuric acid, reaction temperature and ...
Polyploidy is recognized as a major mechanism in plant evolution. Polyploid crops often have wider adaptation, better quality and higher yielding capacity than their diploid counterparts. Although many successful natural ...
The energy of thick ferromagnetic films up to 10000 layers has been explained in
this report using classical Heisenberg Hamiltonian with second order perturbation.
Especially the effect of applied magnetic field and ...
The leaching behaviour of NO3--N was evaluated through field experiments with those predicted by LEACHM-N, a uni-dimensional, water flow, solute transport and plant uptake model. Therefore, the objective of this study was ...
Zinc oxide (ZnO) films fabricated using low cost methods were employed to synthesize a liquid junction photocell explained in this report. Methyl violet dye has been coated on ZnO films to enhance the light absorption. The ...
