Soil tests P (STP) developed to estimate P fertilizer needs and designed to produce optimal economic crop yields, are often not well suited to assess potential environmental impact of fertilization practices. The objective of this study was to develop interpretative soil groupings of the Montreal Lowlands area (MLA) based on soil physico-chemical properties and on soil P sorption and desorption characteristics. Soil P sorption and desorption characteristics together with STP may help in evaluating potential risks of soil P addition. Sixty-six soil types (phases of soil series based on surface texture) were selected as representative soils of the study area. Twenty-seven soil properties were used, including Mehlich-3 extractable P and Al, ammonium-oxalate extractable P, Fe and Al, P sorption index (Psi) and Bray-2 extractable P(BR2P). Multivariate analysis was applied to generate clusters and interpret soil groupings. Principal components analysis yielded two components related: (1) to soil inherent fertility (texture) and (2) to P sorption capacity and desorption intensity. The Ward's clustering method was then applied to the first two component scores. Five soil fertility groups were obtained. Multiple discriminant analysis proposed a classification model using a small subset of variables. Five variables were selected among the soil survey characteristics for discriminating soil groups: clay content, pH measurement in water, cation exchange capacity, BR2P and ammonium-acetate extractable Mg. Adding Psi in the model improved the classification correctness. The results of this study indicate that physico-chemical properties of the surface layer used together with soil P sorption-desorption characteristics contributed to the development of an interpretative grouping that may also be useful to assess vulnerability to water contamination by P.

Fracturing under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV, p ≤ 10-9 Torr) produces membrane fracture faces devoid of contamination. Such clean surfaces are a prerequisite foe studies of interactions between condensing molecules is possible and surface forces are unequally distributed, the condensate will accumulate at places with high binding forces; crystallites will arise which may be useful a probes for surface sites with specific physico-chemical properties. Specific “decoration” with crystallites can be achieved nby exposing membrane fracture faces to water vopour. A device was developed which enables the production of pure water vapour and the controlled variation of its partial pressure in an UHV freeze-fracture apparatus (Fig.1a). Under vaccum (≤ 10-3 Torr), small container filled with copper-sulfate-pentahydrate is heated with a heating coil, with the temperature controlled by means of a thermocouple. The water of hydration thereby released enters a storage vessel.

SummaryPhysico-chemical properties of recombinant desulphatohirudin expressed in yeast (CIBA GEIGY code No. CGP 39393) were reinvestigated. As previously reported for natural hirudin, the recombinant molecule exhibited abnormal behaviour by gel filtration with an apparent molecular weight greater than that based on the primary structure. However, molecular weight estimation by SDS gel electrophoresis, FAB-mass spectrometry and Photon Correlation Spectroscopy were in agreement with the theoretical molecular weight, with little suggestion of dimer or aggregate formation. Circular dichroism studies of the recombinant molecule show similar spectra at different pH values but are markedly different from that reported by Konno et al. (13) for a natural hirudin-variant. Our CD studies indicate the presence of about 60% beta sheet and the absence of alpha helix in the secondary structure of recombinant hirudin, in agreement with the conformation determined by NMR studies (17)

Tomato Ketchup

The aim of this study is to use of karkede (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) byproduct as raw material to make ketchup instead of tomato. Ketchup is making of various pulps, but the best type made from tomatoes. Roselle having adequate amounts of macro and micro elements, and it is rich in source of anthocyanine. The ketchup made from pulped of waste of soaked karkede, and homogenized with starch, salt, sugar, ginger (Zingiber officinale), kusbara (Coriandrum sativum) and gum Arabic. Then processed and filled in glass bottles and stored at two different temperatures, ambient and refrigeration. The total solids, total soluble solids, pH, ash, total titratable acidity and vitamin C of ketchup were determined. As well as, total sugars, reducing sugars, colour density, and sodium chloride percentage were evaluated. The sensory quality of developed product was determined immediately and after processing, which included colour, taste, odour, consistency and overall acceptability. The suitability during storage included microbial growth, physico-chemical properties and sensory quality. The karkede ketchup was found free of contaminants throughout storage period at both storage temperatures. Physico-chemical properties were found to be significantly differences at p?0.05 level during storage. There were no differences between karkade ketchup and market tomato ketchup concerning odour, taste, odour, consistency and overall acceptability. These results are encouraging for use of roselle cycle as a raw material to make acceptable karkade ketchup.
