With the increasing frequency of extreme weather events such as typhoons and storm surges in recent years, together with anthropogenic disturbances including improper coastal engineering practices and ...

The most common method of measuring urease activity is to add a colorimetric assay agent for ammonia (e.g., Nessler’s reagent) to a solution of hydrolyzed urea. The absorbance of the solution at a ...

Calcium carbonate precipitation and crystallization induced by urease enzyme to solidify soil is known as biocement technology. The uses of waste and cheap materials can make this technology more cost ...

Quorum sensing (QS) is a process of intercellular communication, wherein bacteria synthesize, secrete, and respond to extracellular signaling molecules known as autoinducers (AI) to modulate gene ...

Polymer coatings are used to control the rate of release of plant available nutrients from fertilizers as well as to reduce nutrient losses such as ammonia (NH 3) volatilization. Although the ...

High nitrogen losses by ammonia volatilization are expected when urea is used as the source of N. The use of controlled-release urea and urease inhibitors are possible strategies to reduce such losses ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...
