Abstract
We quantified total N deposition at two locations, Dongbeiwang near Beijing and Quzhou in Hebei province, over a two-year period from 2005 to 2007 using an 15N tracer method, the integrated total N input (ITNI) system. Total airborne N inputs to a maize wheat rotation system at both locations ranged...

Abstract
Discoloration in fruits and vegetables is reviewed in relation to the chemical and biochemical causes of black, brown, red, yellow, and green discolorations. In raw materials, only a limited understanding has so far been achieved of the internal black and brown discolorations. The biochemical signal...

Abstract
Amino acids were immobilised by attaching them via a carbamate linker to Wang resin. These intermediates were converted to 1-(1,3-benzoxazol-2-yl)alkanamines over three steps, followed by coupling with 4-alkyl-6-chloro-1,3,5-triazine-2-amines to furnish the desired N-[1-(1,3-benzoxazol-2-yl)alkyl]-6...
