Net Mineralisation

Complementary field and laboratory studies were conducted to determine whether laboratory measurements of net nitrogen (N) mineralisation under anaerobic conditions could be used to predict field rates in a flooded soil and N uptake by a rice crop. The laboratory experiment consisted of measurements of ammonium accumulation at 10, 20, 30, and 40�C for 7, 14, and 28 days of anaerobic incubation. There was no accumulation of ammonium at 10�C, but increasing ammonification rate at temperatures of 20�C was observed, except for a slower rate at 40�C after 14 days. Two models were tested on the data: a zero-order reaction in which rate of mineralisation was a linear function of temperature; a first-order reaction in which net N mineralisation rate was a proportion of a depleting pool of labile organic N. In the second model, the rate was also linearly related to temperature. Both models fitted the laboratory data well (R2 = 0.94 and 0.97, respectively), but the second model accounted better for mineralisation at 40�C for the 28-day incubation. These models were then run, using daily mean temperatures over a rice-growing season, to predict net mineralisation in the field. The predictions were compared with measured net N mineralisation in a flooded soil and N uptake by the crop measured throughout the season in the field from which the incubated soil was sampled. Net N mineralisation and crop uptake increased throughout the season, reaching maximum values of 115 and 111 kg N/ha at maturity. The zero-order and first-order models both predicted net N mineralisation accurately until the middle of the season, after which the zero-order model overestimated net N mineralisation but the first-order model predicted the reduction in the rate of net N mineralisation with reasonable accuracy. The close agreement between the laboratory incubations and field measurements of net mineralisation and crop N uptake suggest that incubation tests may provide useful information for including in a model to assist rice growers' decisions about N fertiliser.

A suitable kinetic model for the consumption of stabilizer (diphenylamine) in single base gun propellants was investigated and successfully verified. The model assumes that a reaction of shifting order can be applied for the consumption of diphenylamine in single base gun propellants. It was found that the experimental data were well evaluated by a first-order reaction at high concentrations of diphenylamine in the propellant, but by a zero-order reaction at low concentrations during the final phase of the propellant life time. The mechanism of diphenylamine depletion was discussed with relation to the model and the ageing behavior of the propellants. The kinetic parameters of this model, which permit the calculation of the time up to complete consumption of the diphenylamine, were determined. The results were compared with the kinetic data obtained by a widely accepted model, which combines formally reactions of first and zero order, designated as an "exponential and linear" model. All comparisons gave satisfactory agreement.

SUMMARYIn the present paper, a simplified procedure using few in situ data points is derived and then evaluated (using a large database) against reference values estimated with the standard nylon bag first-order kinetics model. The procedure proposed involved a two-stage mathematical process, with a statistical prediction of some degradation parameters (such as lag time) and then a kinetic model derived by assuming degradation follows zero-order kinetics to determine effective degradability in the rumen (E). In addition to the estimation of washout fraction and discrete lag, which is common to both procedures, the simplified procedure requires measurement of dry matter losses at one incubation time point only. Thus, interference of the animal rumen will be much reduced, which will lead to increased capacity for feed evaluation. Calibration of the zero-order model against the first-order model showed that suitable estimates of E can be obtained with disappearance at 24, 48 or 72 h as the single incubation end time point. The strength of the calibration is such that an end incubation time point as low as 24 h may be sufficient, which may reduce substantially the total incubation time required and thus the impact on the experimental animal. Relevant regression equations to predict reference values of parameters such as lag time or E are also developed and validated.

The synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from urea and methanol includes two main reactions: one amino of urea is substituted by methoxy to produce the intermediate methyl carbamate (MC) which further converts to DMC via reaction with methanol again. In a stainless steel autoclave, the kinetics of these reactions was separately investigated without catalyst and with Zn-containing catalyst. Without catalyst, for the first reaction, the reaction kinetics can be described as first order with respect to the concentrations of methanol and methyl carbamate (MC), respectively. For the second reaction, the results exhibit characteristics of zero-order reaction. Over Zn-containing catalyst, the first reaction is neglected in the kinetics model since its rate is much faster than second reaction. After the optimization of reaction condition, the macro-kinetic parameters of the second reaction are obtained by fitting the experimental data to a pseudo-homogenous model, in which a side reaction of DMC synthesis is incorporated since it decreases the yield of DMC drastically at high temperature. The activation energy of the reaction from MC to DMC is 104 KJ/mol while that of the side reaction of DMC is 135 KJ/mol.

The crude-protein fraction of green plantains was isolated and found to cause an inversion of sucrose solutions. The rate of inversion of sucrose by the invertase of the green plantain is proportional to the concentration of enzyme. The inversion of sucrose, when catalyzed by green-plantain invertase, appears to follow a first-order reaction rate at low substrate concentrations (below 6 percent). As the concentration of sucrose exceeds 6 percent the rate of the reaction changes to zero order. An optimum pH of 4.15 and an optimum temperature of 44.4° C. were obtained for the activity of green-plantain invertase.

Simple Empirical Model

A simple empirical model was developed for estimation of net mineralisation of pig and cattle slurry nitrogen (N) in arable soils under cool and moist climate conditions during the initial 5 years after spring application. The model is based on a Danish 3-year field experiment with measurements of N uptake in spring barley and ryegrass catch crops, supplemented with data from the literature on the temporal release of organic residues in soil. The model estimates a faster mineralisation rate for organic N in pig slurry compared with cattle slurry, and the description includes an initial N immobilisation phase for both manure types. The model estimates a cumulated net mineralisation of 71% and 51% of organic N in pig and cattle slurry respectively after 5 years. These estimates are in accordance with some other mineralisation studies and studies of the effects of manure residual N in other North European countries.

Jaboticaba (Myrciaria jaboticaba) is a Brazilian berry rich in phenolic compounds, much appreciated for its sweet and slightly acid taste, and highly perishable. Thus, we aimed at producing jaboticaba juice by steam extraction and at investigating its microbiological, sensorial and chemical qualities during storage for up to 168 days. Juice was microbiologically safe and even though unsweetened juice was well accepted, sucrose addition further improved flavor (21%), overall impression (11%) and purchase intent (21%) scores. Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) was the major phenolic (40%), followed by gallic (28%) and ellagic acids (21%). Total phenolics contents decreased from 27% (50 °C) to 50% (25 °C), mainly driven by C3G degradation. At 60 °C, total phenolics contents did not change after 42 days since C3G degradation was counterbalanced by gallic acid formation (129%), which followed zero-order reaction kinetics. Anthocyanins degradation followed first-order reaction kinetics (C3G half-life at 25 °C = 21.7 days) and was associated with color changes during storage. In conclusion, steam extraction followed by hot-filling technique ensured a juice with at least six months of shelf life.

The rate of decomposition of 15N-labelled lupin (Lupinus angustifolius) stubble and the use of mineralised 15N by wheat were determined in field experiments on a deep loamy sand previously cropped to lupin. In one experiment, leaf, stem, and pod (pod-valve) components were applied separately to mini-plots that were either left unplanted or subsequently planted to wheat. In the second experiment, leaf and stem components, each of either low or high N concentration, were applied separately to mini-plots which were subsequently planted to wheat. Soil was recovered in layers to a maximum depth of 1 m and subsequently analysed for 15N in NH + 4 , NO-3 , and total N. The net mineralisation of stubble 15N was estimated from the decrease in soil organic 15N (total 15N – inorganic 15N), and the uptake of 15N by wheat was measured periodically. All treatments were characterised by the high retention of lupin stubble 15N in the soil organic matter. Between 9 and 34% of stem and pod 15N, and 19–49% of leaf 15N, was mineralised within a 10-month period. From these data the annual net mineralisation of a typical lupin stubble was estimated at 25–42 kg N/ha, an N benefit similar to that estimated from agronomic trials. Wheat uptake of lupin-stubble 15N ranged from 9 to 27%. Of the stubble components, only the leaf contained sufficient quantities of mineralisable N to be an important source of N for wheat. At wheat maturity in the first experiment, losses of stubble 15N ranged from 13% (leaf) to 7% (stem). In the second experiment, losses of 15N were only observed from the high N treatments (leaf 8%, stem 15·5%). Stubble component chemistry appeared to affect net mineralisation and plant uptake differently. Across both experiments, annual net mineralisation best correlated (R = 0·69) with the N concentration of the stubble components. Wheat N uptake was strongly positively correlated with polysaccharide content (R = 0·89) but negatively correlated with lignin content (R = – 0·79). Although large quantities (58 and 98 kg N/ha) of soil-derived inorganic N were found in the root-zone (–1·0 m) of wheat sown after lupins, and attributed to the decomposition of lupin root systems and surface residues prior to the establishment of each experiment, it is concluded that the short-term decomposition of lupin stubble 15N results in a modest release of inorganic N. Consequently, the primary value of lupin stubble in the N economy of lupin : cereal rotations is to replenish the soil organic N reserve.

The conjugation of the aminobenzoic acids with glycine and glucuronic acid has been measured in the rabbit and the dog. In both species the total conjugation is greatest with the ortho isomer, least with the para. In the rabbit, the amount of hippurate formed is greater than the amount of glucuronide formed, and in each case, greatest with the ortho isomer and least with the para. These relations are determined by the comparative first-order reaction rates, the comparative zero-order reaction rates, the concentration of the aminobenzoic acid in the body at which the reaction changes from first-order to zero-order, and the dose. In the dog, the meta aminobenzoic acid forms more hippurate than glucuronide, as in the rabbit, but for the ortho and para isomers the formation of hippurate is much less than that of glucuronide. The meta and para acetamidobenzoates are conjugated to a smaller extent than are the aminobenzoates. Slices of kidney and liver perform these conjugations to an extent agreeing with that in the whole animal, in some but not all cases. It appears that both species form the three hippurates in the kidney, but in the liver by the rabbit only. Both species form the three glucuronides, probably in both kidney and liver.

SummaryThe kinetics of the activation of plasminogen into plasmin with urokinase and the inactivation rate of the plasmin formed are studied.As a first order reaction is obtained with low plasminogen concentrations and a zero-order reaction is obtained with high concentrations, the activation seems to follow the Michaelis-Menten’s law. The reaction does not go to completion, however. Different activity levels, which are dependent on the urokinase concentration, can be observed.The activation rate increases with temperature. A maximum can be seen at about 42° C.Between 4° C and 15° C, the inactivation of the plasmin formed is minimal, but it increases rapidly at higher temperatures. The inactivation follows approximately a first order reaction with respect to time. If the plasminogen concentration is low, the over-all reaction will be that of two consecutive first order reactions.
