hemistry is the science about breaking and forming of bonds between atoms. One of the most important processes for organic chemistry is breaking bonds C–H, as well as C–C in various compounds, and primarily, in hydrocarbons. Among hydrocarbons, saturated hydrocarbons, alkanes (methane, ethane, propane, hexane etc. ), are especially attractive as substrates for chemical transformations. This is because, on the one hand, alkanes are the main constituents of oil and natural gas, and consequently are the principal feedstocks for chemical industry. On the other hand, these substances are known ...

Soil is a pivotal component of the environment and the maintenance of soil quality is critical for ensuring the sustainability of the environment and the biosphere. The use of fertilizers has increased at a faster rate than global food production. Modern agriculture is dependent on phosphorus derived from phosphate rock, which is a non-renewable resource. It is needed to improve P acquisition efficiency for both low input and intensive agroecosystems. However, few studies have focused on cereal-legume interactions with regard to soil P. The objective of this work was to study the effects of...

Traces the developing knowledge about germs from the first sighting of them under a primitive microscope to modern medicine's new methods of combating them.
