An index of inorganic nitrogen use was calculated by subtracting total inorganic nitrogen in the treatment pots from the control pots and then converting this to a nitrogen use per gram of plant biomass basis.
A combined index of PM 10), nitrogen dioxide, SO(2), and CO seemed to better explain the exposure-response relationship with total mortality than an individual air pollutant.
Measurements are reported for flame geometry (liftoff heights and flame heights), flame radiant fractions, and emission indices for oxides of nitrogen (EINOx).
However, in many cases, due to specific vegetation types or local conditions, the applicability and robustness of established spectral indices for nitrogen retrieval were limited.
The second index (MII) measures the intensity of nitrogen used and the index is calculated using a step function.
In this study, we focused on four metrics related to atmospheric problems in urban areas (nitrogen concentration [% N], isotope ratio of nitrogen [δ15N], index of atmospheric purity [IAP], and richness of hygrophilic life-forms [RHL]).
DM, diabetes mellitus; CRP, C-reactive protein; APD, automated peritoneal dialysis; PET, peritoneal equilibration test; NA, non-available; GNRI, geriatric nutritional risk index; nPNA, normalized protein equivalent of nitrogen appearance; MAP, mean arterial pressure; RRF, residual renal function.
Rice varieties with the sd1 gene have a shortened culm with improved lodging resistance and a greater harvest index, allowing for the increased use of nitrogen fertilizers (Jennings [1964]).
This so-called rice Green Revolution depended largely on the introduction of the sd1 gene, because the recessive character of the gene results in a shortened culm with improved lodging resistance and a great harvest index, allowing for the increased use of nitrogen fertilizers to improve yield [12, 15].
