From the pyrolysis process, biochar is a carbon rich and recalcitrant organic material with potential for long term carbon sequestration because of its aromatic structure. However, the physical and chemical properties of the biochar vary due to the diversity of raw material and the conditions of production. The present study aimed to evaluate the biochar from the sugarcane bagasse at different temperatures and under two conditions of pyrolysis. The biochar was produced at two final temperatures 200°C (1 hour); 250°C (1h) and 250°C (2h), with pyrolysis of an oxidizing and non-oxidizing atmosphere for both. PH, cation exchange capacity (CTC), carbon content (C), Nitrogen (N), hydrogen (H), H:C, C:N and ash ratios were evaluated. The contents of C, H, N and the atomic ratios H:C and C:N were higher in Biochar produced in a non-oxidizing atmosphere (BNO). However, the content of ash, pH and CTC were higher in Biochar produced in oxidizing atmospheres (BO). One can conclude the direct influence of the pyrolysis condition.

Object: to study the physical and chemical properties of the lipoprotein complexes of rats` blood in the long-term administration of statins and vitamin D. Material and methods. The experiment was performed on 4 experimental groups of rats for 90 days: 1 - intact; 2 - placebo; 3 - intragastric administration of atorvastatin; 4 - intragastric administration of atorvastatin with α-calcidol. The lipoprotein blood complexes were isolated by the method of differential ultracentrifugation. The microflow and microviscosity of the lipoprotein complexes were determined using pyrene. Results. The placebo group revealed an increase of the micropolarity of the total lipid pool of VLDL and a decrease of the microviscosity of the annulary pool of LDL and HDL. The administration of atorvastatin reduces the microviscosity of HDL. The combined application of atorvastatin and α-calcidol reduces the microviscosity of HDL. Conclusion. We have drawn a conclusion about the complex effect of stress, atorvastatin, and α-calcidol on the physical and chemical properties of the lipoprotein blood complexes and a conclusion about the positive effect of atorvastatin and α-calcidol on the microviscosity of HDL.

AbstractRadiation damage and the effect on physical and chemical properties is an important component in the prediction of the long-term stability of waste form materials. As part of the ongoing goal of increasing the accuracy of long-term predictions of radiation damage, two types of material, based on proposed materials with a waste form application have been irradiated. Results have shown that Y2TiO5 (Y2.67Ti1.33O6.67), and Yb2TiO5 (Yb2.67Ti1.33O6.67), both of which are non-stoichiometric, disordered pyrochlore-based compounds, behave significantly different to the stoichiometric, ordered pyrochlore equivalent. For example the critical temperature, the temperature above which materials remain crystalline during irradiation, is found to decrease from the ordered equivalents, e.g. Y2Ti2O7. ⁡ A second material based on La2TiO5 has been found to behave differently to both La2/3TiO3 and La2Ti2O7, with a change in Tc of ∼ 200 K.

ABSTRACT Intercropping using legumes is one of the ways to protect the main crop, and in long term improve the physical and chemical properties of the soil. The aim of this work was to evaluate the intercropping of Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott (taro) and the tropical legume Crotalaria juncea L. (sunn hemp), cutting sunn hemp at ten periods during the cycle. The experiment was carried out under field conditions between 09/23/2010 and 06/04/2011. It consisted of 11 treatments related to the 10 cutting times of sunn hemp (55, 70, 85,100, 115, 130, 145, 160, 190, and 220 days after sowing - DAS) plus a control of taro with no sunn hemp. During the cycle, taro was evaluated for plant height and incidence of leaf burn. At the time of cutting the sunn hemp, the plant height, fresh and dry matter masses, and nutrient content of the biomass were calculated. During taro harvest, we evaluated the productivity of the mother rhizomes and classified the cormels. Taro plants shaded by sunn hemp showed a lower incidence of leaf burn. The sunn hemp cut from 145 DAS onwards affected the yield of comercial rhizomes and total and agroeconomic indexes. Sunn hemp cut up to 130 DAS provided better performance of taro, without compromising productivity and economic indicators, with the highest amounts of N and K observed in the biomass cut at 115 DAS.

Basaltic soil is considered as the most advantageous soil unit in comparison with other units of the Central Highlands, that distributed mainly in the plateaus of Kon Plong, Kon Ha Nung, Pleiku, Buon Ma Thuot, M'Drak, Dak Nong and Di  Linh - Bao Loc. Much of the basaltic soil in the Central Highlands has been used for cultivation of long-term industrial crops. Currently, due to massive forest destruction for developing long-term industrial trees in the basaltic soil in Bao Loc - Di Linh, the natural fertility of the basaltic soil has been remarkably reduced. The physical and chemical properties of the basaltic soil under different land use types have decreased sharply compared to basaltic soil under the natural forest. The average rate of decline of total organic matter content of plantation forest land is 16%, overused forest land is 44%, tea land is 46%, coffee land is 60% compared to the same soil unit under the natural forest. The cation exchange capacity (CEC), content of total nutrients and plant available nutrients under the land use types were also decreased significantly compared to the soil unit under the natural forest. The changes of physical and chemical properties of the basaltic soil with coffee cultivation was highest in comparison with other land use types. The organic matter and potassium are two limiting factors of the nutrients in the basaltic soil of the study area, especially for tea cultivation.
